Spanning over 1.6 million acres, the Gunnison National Forest offers a breathtaking landscape of rugged peaks, alpine meadows, and vast aspen groves. At the height of autumn, these groves ignite in a fiery display of golden hues, deep reds, and alizarin crimson, creating a stunning transformation. For a brief window each year, the high country is set ablaze, providing a rare opportunity to capture the beauty of this dramatic seasonal change.
During this 3-day, Fall Colors in Colorado Night Photography Workshop, our in-field sessions will take you to sweeping overlooks, where the Colorado Rockies unfold beneath your lens. We’ll explore dense aspen groves, where light filters through golden canopies, and photograph from panoramic vistas offering wide, uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. As the sun sets, we’ll capture the rich hues casting deep shadows across intimate groves and expansive valleys. Once Earth’s shadow meets the horizon, we’ll turn our attention to the night sky, where the Milky Way sets over the vast wilderness, offering a breathtaking display of the night sky.
On our last day of the workshop, a dedicated 4-hour post-processing session will provide a structured approach to learning digital editing tools in Adobe Bridge/Lightroom and Photoshop. We will cover a variety of editing techniques, including RAW adjustments, exposure blending, panoramic stitching, and more. Participants will also receive a 60-page, in-depth booklet detailing every step of the process, ensuring they can refine their images long after the workshop ends.
Due to the remote nature of our locations, access to facilities will be limited during the in-field portion of the workshop.
