Patagonia • November 5 to 15, 2011

Travel with me and my good friend (and good photographer/Lightroom instructor) Cesar Rivera to the magical land of snow-capped mountains and cool blue water: Patagonia.

As you will see, this is one of the best-priced Patagonia photo workshops on the web. It will also be one of the most fun-filled workshops – as Cesar and I both like to have fun with photography.

Located in the southern tip of South America, this specialty tour will take participants to the most coveted photo locations in Patagonia including Los Glaciares National Park, Laguna Torre and Torres Del Paine National Park. The focus will be on taking landscapes, HDRs, panoramas and refining the techniques to capture the rugged, natural beauty of the area.

This photo adventure starts with a local flight from Buenos Aires to El Calafate, Argentina, where participants will enjoy of welcome dinner and folklore show. The next day, the group is off, by private coach, on a guided excursion to the top photographic destinations in Patagonia. The workshop’s unique itinerary will allows participants to trek in the famed national parks of both Chile and Argentina.

Cesar and I will bring our extensive photography and travel expertise to the workshop. I will be teaching photography, HDR photography and Photoshop. Based on his previous trips to Patagonia, Cesar will bring his knowledge of the best shooting locations, and share his practical tips for working images in Lightroom. Both of us will instruct in the field and in evening processing sessions.

This workshop promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Be sure to pack your tripod and extra memory cards!
