What level of experience best fits this seminar?
Participants should have good familiarity with their camera and lenses. It’s a good idea to bring your camera manual, so the seminar leader can help with some functions and adjustments. A sturdy tripod is highly recommended. Anyone who wants to improve their landscape and wildlife photography skills will be welcomed to attend. The field photography sessions may involve a moderate hike of less than two miles and elevation gain of less than 1000 feet. Weather in the winter mountains can be harsh, so be sure to bring warm clothes and good hiking boots. An ability to layer clothes is always a good idea. Wool socks are highly recommended.
