2012 MENTOR SERIES: OREGON - SOLD OUT!
June 20 - 24, 2012
Undoubtedly one of the most picturesque corners of America’s varied landscape, the Pacific Northwest is a region with a natural beauty all its own. Join the Mentor Series as we turn our lenses on Oregon, a state that brilliantly typifies the magnificence of this region, as seen from its rugged coastline to its soaring mountain passes, and everything in between. Travel alongside Nikon professional photographers Reed Hoffmann and Daniel J. Cox and pick up the ultimate tips and tricks that will help you create photos as stunning as your surroundings.
Itinerary
We will base ourselves in Portland, a lively city brimming with a fresh energy that will set the tone for your upcoming adventures. Our first day trip will take us to Wahclella Falls, one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. Station yourself in front of the plunge pool and capture the two tall, snow-white sprays of rushing water dashing down walls of carved basalt rock. To further narrate the setting, zoom in on nearby details such as the moss-drenched tree trunks and boulders.
Continuing on the historic Columbia River Highway, we will make a stop at the must-see Vista House on Crown Point, a pioneer memorial and viewpoint perched atop a sheer cliff more than 730 feet tall. The building itself is a photographer’s delight, while the accompanying panoramic vista is nothing short of spectacular. For a portrait of true natural drama, fill your frame at Multnomah Falls, a two-tiered waterfall at a height of 620 feet, the tallest in the state of Oregon. Photograph the falls from afar to illustrate a serene ribbon of cascading water,or position yourself on Benson Footbridge and show what a roaring, powerful beast this force of nature can be.
For a glimpse into what life is like on the Columbia River, we will make a stop in Cascade Locks, a quaint town with a quiet charm and fine view of the famous Bridge of the Gods. Pointing our lenses skyward from the nearby city of Hood River, try out your new techniques when you take in the snow-covered majesty of Mount Hood, a potentially active volcano and the highest point in Oregon.
Perhaps nothing can truly prepare you for the jaw-dropping artistry that is Crater Lake. Capture this exquisite body of water as its mirror-like surface reflects the towering cliffs and evergreens ringing its edges. The possibilities here for postcard-worthy landscapes are endless.
