From September 25th to September 29th, 2011, Ray McSavaney will host a field workshop in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado. Surrounded by towering peaks, quiet lakes and colorful groves of aspen, the workshop will offer the participant an outstanding opportunity to photograph in the field with world renowned photographer Ray McSavaney. The primary purpose of this workshop will be to make images, lots of images. Mornings and afternoons will be spent in the field working with Ray on your photographic composition, understanding light, refining your camera technique and learning the ins and outs of making a fine photographic image. When not in the field, Ray will review portfolios and there will be group critique sessions as well. Ray will be happy to discuss any topic you wish, in fact, if there is a particular topic you would like to cover on the workshop please let him know beforehand so he will be prepared.

All formats are welcome in the workshop; in fact a variety of formats makes the workshop more enjoyable and a greater learning experience. However, while Ray can discuss digital technologies and processes he is not an expert in these areas so those discussions would be kept general and at a high level. The workshop is really intended to help you learn about the “softer” side of photography, about making wonderful images no matter what format or type of camera you use.

The Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado is an outstanding location to host a photographic workshop. Possible locations the class will visit are the Maroon Bells, Independence Pass, the Grottos, McClure Pass, Marble, Crystal, Lizard Lake, Capital Peak area, Hanging Lake and many others. In addition, September in Colorado is perfect for photographing the beautiful aspen groves that surround the area as they change into their fall colors.

Be prepared with lots of film (or storage cards), lots of questions and be sure to take advantage of this unique opportunity.

Special Print Offer: Ray will be offering a very unique print of the large aspen grove near Independence Pass, one of the locations we will visit. The image is a panaoramic printed 5" x 14" for $300 (half off the gallery price of $600) or printed 7" X 14" for $400 (normal gallery price is $800).
