While I am loving my hobby of photography, I'm always looking for fun, interesting ways to learn more and take better pictures. On March 2, I embarked on a 5-day workshop in Death Valley, CA that was like "Photography Boot Camp." We were up at 5am to shoot sunrise, and stayed up well past 2am to shoot star trails. This workshop was lead by Scotty Stullberg and Jennifer Wu. If you ever have a chance to take any of their classes--do! They are educational and so much fun. (Just don't plan to get any sleep.)
It was challenging and tiring, and made me cranky (and there was limited cell phone access--so enough said there!) But I learned so much on the trip, took some amazing photographs, and walked away a better photographer! I learned how to light paint, and shoot star trails!
Located near the border of California and Nevada, Death Valley is filled with breath-taking scenery and unique geological formations. With miles of pristine sand dunes, colorful rocks and canyons, and evaporated salt fields, Death Valley is a pretty trippy place!
