Instructional Programs
We are pleased to offer a series of short programs ideally suited for camera club meetings and other small group gatherings. These programs can be tailored to beginning or more advanced audiences as needed. In addition we offer a number of more in-depth programs with more advanced content. These courses may include practical field work. The longer courses are ideal for photography classes presented at conservation and outdoor venues.

Other Photography Courses for groups
Airshow Photography
We have recently revised and upgraded one-hour short course on photographing airshows. Our main areas of expertise are nature and travel, but we have always had a passion for aircraft and flight photography. We have presented to many audiences a course we call Airshow Photography 101, A Photographer’s Survival Guide to Airshows. Our program takes attendees through the logistics of locating and planning to attend airshows, the typical sequence of events, and how to get the most out of the day. We of course, provide a lot of hints on camera equipment and techniques to get those great shots.
Travel Photography
We offer a short one hour program on the "ins and outs" of making great images while traveling. The prepared photographer can capture images of natural, cultural and human interest subjects. This course will help you to be prepared.
The program starts with planning, discusses recommended equipment and then uses examples of first world, third world, tour-based and domestic travel destinations to show how to get images you'll be proud to show. We'll also spend a bit of time discussing how to present your travel images to your family and friends.
Photographing Colorado's Historic Railroads
We have expanded our popular program on Colorado's Historic Railroads by adding much more photography centered content. This program will not only take you through out Colorado to see and learn about its railroad history, but will give you the photographic tips and techniques to bring home great images of both trains and train history.
Photographing Your Kids (and Grand-kids)
We offer a medium length program (about 2 hours) on the techniques you can use to create memorable images of your family. Like all of our classes we start with the basics of using your camera and composing strong images. We then move on to documenting those special occasions as well as just making great images of your family having fun!
Customized and Individualized Classes
Individualized Coursework
We are always eager to work with individuals or small groups to provide a meaningful learning experience, both in an indoor classroom-like setting and/or hands on field work. Our expertise is in general outdoor photography so we can work with students in areas ranging from landscape to macro to wildlife.
Our rates for individual instruction are $150 per day for one person. Small groups (up to 5 or 6) will get a per person discount based on the total number of participants.
