The Yosemite National Park Photo Workshop

Lerro Productions Presents:
The Yosemite National Park Photo Workshop
February 17-19, 2012

As one of America’s most popular destinations and world renowned through the artwork of photographer Ansel Adams, Yosemite National Park offers some of the most spectacular landscape photography opportunities anywhere in the world. Join Lerro Productions as we travel throughout Yosemite Valley and photograph such places as El Capitan, Half Dome and many other famous landmarks.

During the workshop, participants will learn how to photograph these scenes under a number of different lighting situations, including sunrise and sunset, back lighting and nighttime photography. We'll also have the opportunity to photograph the lava flow sunset effect at Horsetail Falls. To see our style of photography from our recent workshop trip to the American Southwest, click below:

While most of our time will be spent out in the field shooting, there will be time dedicated to photo critiques as well as post processing techniques.


Lodging, meals and transportation are not included in the workshop fee.


Lodging:

There are three options for lodging during the event. The nightly average rate of the hotels in Yosemite Valley is $140.00. A cheaper hotel option would be to stay in the town of Mariposa, CA, which is about an hour outside of the valley. There are a number of chain hotels there that average $70.00 a night.
The least expensive lodging option is to camp inside the valley. While it may seem challenging, you'll get the full experience of Yosemite Valley. Campsites average only $20.00 a night.


Transportation:

Because of winter weather road conditions, Yosemite National Park can sometimes only allow 4WD vehicles in. It may turn out that the weather will be pleasant during our trip, but as a precaution, it’s very important that all participants rent a 4WD vehicle just in case. I'd hate to see someone stuck outside at the gate because weather conditions will not allow for a 2WD vehicle. Sometimes tire chains are also required to be kept in the trunk as a precaution. If needed, you can rent or buy chains in the town of Mariposa, CA.


Food and Meals:

There is a general store as well as several restaurants in Yosemite Valley. Are schedule will vary day to day so don't hesitate to keep a snack with you between meals.


The workshop fee is $300.00 and the rate will increase after December 15th so sign up soon! Spacing is limited to only 8 people. For more information and to sign up, please visit:
