One the main goals of the Cypress Hills Photographic Workshops is to provide all participants with some level of photographic growth, in terms of theory, practical experience and image improvement. Due to the geographically rich Cypress Hills area, a number of the different aspects of photography can be explored. These areas are dependent upon participant interest. Some potential topics for photographic exploration are: Scenes/Landscapes Digital projection/CD creation Details in Nature/Macro Photography cabin accommodations Sunrise/Sunsets food provided/cooked/served Historic Sites transportation to all sites (once at camp) Outdoor Portraiture opportunity to work closely with instructors Fill Flash/Painting With Light opportunity to really experience the area Digital Photography How to "Produce" a Photograph Light Control The full workshop package includes accommodation in a camp like setting, with small rustic cabins tucked beneath the tall whispering lodge pole pines. Showers, laundry and modern washrooms are located centrally on site. A large hall provides an ideal space for meals, lectures and presentations. All food is supplied, prepared and cooked for you. Special dietary accommodations can be arranged, (note reference on registration form). Digital protection and CD creation allows for critique the next day. Ample opportunity is provided to allow participants to learn from themselves the group and the instructors. The full package provides everything necessary to keep your body going and your mind focused on photography. Wildlife abounds in the area (we regularly have deer and moose right in camp), with antelope and other animals found nearby, in scenes of natural habitat. Landscape opportunities are everywhere from the grand scenic to the detailed macro. Participants will feel as if they have stepped back over one hundred years when the workshop visits a restored RCMP Fort and the accompanying period trading post further down the valley. If you are interested in expanding your photographic horizons in a wonderful, natural setting with some truly friendly instruction, then please seriously consider this workshop. |
