Autumn Color in Rocky Mountain National Park Photo Workshop

Sept 20-24, 2021
Estes Park, Colorado

Spend 5 days in a variety of locations around the beautiful Rocky Mountains during a photographer’s favorite time of the year - Autumn! The last two weeks of September is generally the time for peak color in Northern Colorado and the peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.

We will visit a variety of great locations in Rocky Mountain National Park for fall foliage, combined with classroom work to better your photographic craft, including time to process and critique your images. We will shoot sunrises and sunsets as weather allows, with a few hours each day dedicated to classroom instruction and image processing. Locations will include, but not limited to: aspen groves, waterfalls, forest streams, lakes and mountain overlooks. We will end the workshop on Friday with a group slide show and critique.

About the Photographer: Colin is a professional photographer and licensed photography tour guide in Arches, Canyonlands & Rocky Mountain National Parks, and currently resides in Broomfield, Colorado. He has led several fall foliage workshops in Upstate New York over the years.

Field lessons will include tips and techniques for:

How to make your foliage images pop
How to capture good images in challenging lighting conditions
How to analyze a scene for compositional options
Working with a range of lenses for a range of compositions
Using filters to improve artistic results

Indoor sessions will be spent viewing and critiquing participants’ images. In addition, Colin will give indoor instructional presentations on:

Fall foliage photography techniques
Adobe Lightroom workflow for getting the most from your images
How to shoot and stitch together panoramic images
