Waterfall Photography Workshop
Take your outdoor photos to a new level
Service Description
In our Columbia Gorge photography experience, you will learn the basics of capturing our beautiful PNW waterfalls on this epic field trip. We will travel to the Columbia Gorge and practice photographing two waterfalls, while admiring beautiful scenery along the way. After our field trip, we will learn basic photo editing in the computer lab. Learn about waterfall photography from seasoned landscape photographer Josh Fawcett from JFawtography. We will spend time at 2 waterfalls practicing composition and the technical skills that make waterfall photographs so magical. The first hour of the day will be focused on learning composition techniques and the technical aspects of waterfall photography, followed by time to practice skills and be creative. The afternoon will focus on developing images using software such as Lightroom to enhance the image and add the artist’s touch. We will be hiking up to 3 miles; bring comfortable shoes, layers, food, and water to last the entire field trip.
