Last month Dan joined the PopPhoto team to be a Mentor on the Bryce and Zion National Park photography workshop. Bryce and Zion are amazing parks with the landscapes like nothing else found in the world. There were four instructors total with about forty students. Our headquarters was just outside the park at the Zion Mountain Resort where we had fantastics meals and luxurious authentic log cabins. Michelle, Erica and Vanessa did a spectacular job of organizing this shoot. Getting all the necessary permits for the parks is no easy task yet it all went like clock work. You can se some of the image from the shoot by visiting the PopPhoto Mentors web site. Give them a call and sign up for the upcoming Grand Tetons workshop that Dan will be a part of.

Yellowstone is a perennial winter wonderland full of amazing animals and spectacular scenery. For the second year in a row, Tanya and I have taken a small group of people to the land of enchanted beauty to learn the art of photography and the science of digital capture. Our first day we shot in temperatures of -12 degrees. That sounds cold and I can assure you it is, but it creates tremendous photographic opportunities. Steam billowing from the waters of the Firehole river with swans moving through shafts of light was just one of many highlights of this frigid, wintery day. The rest of the week we enjoyed temperatures in the mid teens and warmer. After our guests had left I spent an additional week in the north end of the park exploring the possibilities for our next years adventure. I’ve included a few images in the following gallery from my exploratory trip as well. All in all we had a tremendous time.
