Leader: Jason Odell
Explore the beauty of California's Sonoma coast on this photo safari led by professional photographer Jason Odell. We will photograph the coastline, beaches, wildlife, and redwood forests and have hands-on instruction daily for photography and post-processing. Here's your chance to experience the beauty of the California coastline while learning creative photography techniques with a professional photographer.
