Idyllwild Photography Workshop Details

THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN COMPLETED. PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING US IN ANOTHER ONE OF THE WONDERFUL NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS THIS YEAR.

Join us May 24-26, 2007 - Memorial Day Weekend - for an adventure in the mountains of Southern California.

My goal is to teach you the difference between "taking a picture" and creating a fine art photograph. I emphasize the techniques of using your camera settings properly to get the shot right during capture. Photoshop is a wonderful tool for all kinds of fine-tuning and creative techniques, and I use it everyday. However, I would rather be out in the field shooting than sitting in front of the computer fixing mistakes so I want to get the best possible shot in camera. I assume you do too. I hope to send you home with a new vision of the natural world as well as being a more capable photographer.

Locations will include Lake Fulmor, Cowbell Alley, Inspiration Point, Fuller Mill Creek Waterfall, Garner Valley, Lake Hemet, among others. Sunset shots will be encouraged and are optional. Locations are subject to change due to weather conditions.

Workshop payment may be made by credit card, direct deposit, or debit card through PayPal. You do not need a PayPal account to make a payment. If you prefer, you may send a personal check. Be aware, however, that your place in the workshop is not secured until the check clears. The Gina Genis Photo Workshop space is limited to provide as much personal attention as possible, so reserve your place early. Non-photographing guests are welcome to attend for an additional $150. If you choose to bring your guest, please email me, and I will adjust your tuition accordingly. If you are unable to attend, and cancel your reservation one month prior to your workshop date, I will gladly refund your registration fee, minus a $50 processing fee. There are no refunds after that.

This workshop necessitates some hiking to get to the most scenic places to photograph. There are walking paths, but they are not paved. You should be physically fit enough to be able to carry your gear and walk to locations. Nothing severe, just make sure you are steady on your feet and have the lung capacity to walk approximately 1/2 to 1 mile in the woods and desert. Gina Genis Photo Workshops cannot be responsible for personal health or injury.
