We schedule two sessions on the day of the workshop: a morning session that begins with meeting half an hour before sunrise and an afternoon/evening session that runs from mid-afternoon to after sunset. Each session lasts three to four hours. Participants are welcome to join both sessions or choose to participate in just the morning or evening session based on their preferences.The workshop begins as you head to carefully selected locations, chosen based on the time of day and light conditions. Your guide will offer expert tips, from choosing the right angles, framing, adjusting your camera settings, and other invaluable photography tips tailored to help you capture Yosemite’s grandeur. Throughout the day, you'll venture to lesser-known spots, allowing you to photograph more secluded, intimate views of the park’s natural beauty. The experience culminates with sunset photography, capturing the magical hues of Yosemite’s peaks as the sun fades.
