BOSQUE DEL APACHE and WHITE SANDS NATIONAL PARK make a perfect pairing for incredible bird photography AND spectacular scenics of phenomenal sand dunes .

We start at Bosque del Apache and spend several days photographing the incredible spectacle of Snow Geese and Sandhill Cranes, plus many other species. There will be some of the best sunrises and sunsets anywhere, coupled with many opportunities for creative and beautiful images. We then move on to nearby White Sands National Park for several days of sunrises and sunsets in the dunes. Each workshop includes Lightroom and Photoshop tips, plus the always popular image critiques. The critique sessions provide time to share your images with the rest of the group, and to get processing and workflow pointers.

BOSQUE DEL APACHE - This is one of my favorite places for world-class bird photography. Being here always takes my breath away. And the sunrises and sunsets are amazing!

  • Numerous opportunities to witness and photograph the famous awe-inspiring lift-off of thousands of Snow Geese at dawn. In addition, we will photograph the graceful flights of beautiful Sandhill Cranes.

  • Improve your bird photography skills

  • Learn tips and tricks to get the best shots in almost any kind of light

  • Learn artistic, creative techniques that result in images that go beyond the ordinary

We will shoot lift-offs and flight images in the mornings and late afternoons / evenings. Mid-day hours will be filled with classroom sessions on Lightroom and Photoshop, plus the always beneficial and popular image critiques.

WHITE SANDS NATIONAL PARK - I LOVE sand dunes, and White Sands is famous for them. The pristine white dunes provide a wide array of compositions.

  • Undulating scenes

  • Abstracts

  • Wild beauty

  • Learn how to use the light and the shapes to your best advantage

  • Learn compositional techniques to enhance all your photography

  • This is a beautiful and surreal place with dramatic photo opportunities in every direction.

We will photograph mornings and afternoons / evenings in order to capture the best directional light which is perfect for the dunes. Mid-day hours will be filled with classroom sessions on Lightroom and Photoshop, plus the always popular image critiques.
