About the Course
Join Rob for an awesome wildflower workshop. This course is designed to maximize time in the field photographing the flowers of the Central California Coast. Rob will show you shooting techniques with different types of lenses for various desired effects out in the field whether you are shooting 1 flower for isolation or a landscape scene.
Rob will demonstrate and instruct all of the tips, tricks, and techniques available to make exceptional images with pop and wow factor.
Once we have had our fill of flower photography we come back to the lab for Lightroom cataloging and downloading with additional instruction in the develop module to make your images sing! We will also learn to export from Lightroom into Nik software to push your images even further for an incredible image to publish, print or share.
Be prepared to stay in the field for long periods of time.
We also may do sunrise shooting to get the ice crystals from the morning dew on the flowers.
*Please note that though we are good at what we do, we cannot control mother nature. Every year we get wildflowers but from year to year the amount and types of flowers can vary.
Suggested items to bring:
Sunscreen
Water
Snacks
Sun Hat
Rain Gear (it can get wet out there in the mornings with occasional frost where the flowers flourish!)
Knee Pads or Gardening Pad
Towel
Hiking Boots
Reflectors and Diffusers
Tripod (Center column option for getting low!)
All of your camera gear: Some of these out of the way places will have some incredible opportunities to see prairie birds, raptors, fields of gold, and a lot for close-up images.
**Please bring an extra pair shoes to change into when going back into the lab!
