Winter Wonderland IV – FULL
For the past three years, we’ve been selling out our only winter workshop which we labeled Winter Wonderland (we know it’s corny but it’s true). Starting in Jackson, Wyoming we spend a week exploring and photographing the breathtaking landscapes and very accessible wildlife (bison, elk, coyote, moose, trumpeter swan, bald eagle) of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Come join us for an exciting week of photography!
We’ll begin our week with an introductory dessert and soft drink/coffee get-together Sunday evening January 24 at our Jackson Hotel where we’ll cover topics that focus on the type of shooting you’ll be doing during the week. The following day we’ll photograph our way north to Flagg Ranch where we’ll be met by snow coaches to transport us to Old Faithful Lodge. Stopping to photograph along the way, we’ll arrive at the Lodge in plenty of time to check-in and have dinner.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, we’ll be transported in comfortable snow coaches (twelve-passenger modified vans) with plenty of room for passengers and equipment. We’ll spend each full day photographing Yellowstone – from the Madison River to Yellowstone Falls. And, we’ll set aside one night to light-paint Old Faithful after dinner (you say you’ve never light-painted?). Throughout the week, we will be at your elbow to assist you with photo techniques and/or compositional tips.
Friday morning, we’ll depart the Lodge and head back to Flagg Ranch making a stop or two to snag our last photos of Yellowstone. We’ll shoot the Tetons in the afternoon and spend Friday night, January 29, in Jackson. We’ll do a sunrise shoot on Saturday and the event ends at noon that day.
All transportation, lodging and meals at Yellowstone are included in the cost. The Lodge accommodations are modern, quiet and excellent and the dining room features outstanding menu choices for breakfast and dinner (you have your choice of buffet or menu items at breakfast). Box lunches are furnished for the days we’re out shooting and the Lodge offers several menu choices. Hotel, travel and meals in Jackson are at your expense. Because of limited parking at Flagg Ranch, GAPW will arrange car pooling with your help.
The weather? In short – wonderful! We often shed outer layers in Yellowstone’s daytime temperatures and sunshine. While we can’t promise great weather, we promise you’ll have fun.
Our limit is 18 participants. Total cost for this event including all expenses mentioned will be between $2600 and $3000. Final cost will not be known until September when the Lodge sets its 2010 rates. But, don’t wait that long to reserve your spot. Call GAPW now at (866) 747-4279.
We’ve attached some photos from last year. In the group photo, Tom is the young guy second from the right in the back row. George is middle back row – the guy with all the hair! Come join us!
