Workshop Description Welcome to the Texas Panhandle. This place is full of wide-open skies, rugged landscapes, and some of the last truly wild places in the West. In a way, the area is a land that time forgot. We’ll step back into another era and photograph old ghost towns, farmhouses, and canyonlands under a night sky that’s nearly as dark as you’ll find anywhere. Capture the magic of the night sky under a full moon. If you’ve never done it before, believe me when I say that landscape photography under a full moon is an engaging and amazing way to capture rugged landscapes and we’re planning this trip on week that will have a mostly full moon all week. The bonus is that we have a number of rustic foreground objects available that are undeniably unique. During the day, we’ll photograph nearby landscapes and points of interest. At night, we’ll set up in some of the most beautiful parts of the area to take a number of images that you’ll find breathtakingly surreal. Round out your portfolio with amazing imagery, learn new photographic techniques, spend time with like-minded people, and unleash your creativity in this one-of-a-kind photo excursion.
