AFRICA! Namibia

BLOG: Africa, Sossusvlei, Namibia – Images by Art Wolfe

The lions, leopards and monkeys all show that it is truly Spring with mothers and babies playing with each other.

Just so you don’t worry too much about my safety, the elephants I photographed have been rescued and are habituated to people.  They are now free.

Hot News Tip: International workshops in January 2012 to South Africa will be coming up on my workshops website very soon.  Stay tuned!

Contact us immediately if you are interested and want to make sure to reserve a place even before the signup is available.

Olympic Peninsula September Workshop

BLOG: Olympic National Park Sep2011 Workshop – Images by Art Wolfe

The workshops I lead in the Olympic National Park always seem to bring out the best in everyone at all skill levels. The late summer fires in Washington make for breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. But it’s always the details that are the most interesting: backlit seaweed clinging to rocks battered by the surf.

We’ll be posting a gallery of workshop participants’ photos soon so watch for it!

The Palouse PODAS Workshop

BLOG: PODAS Palouse Workshop August 2011 – Images by Art Wolfe

I just finished a workshop with PODAS (PhaseOne Digital Artists Series). Washington’s wheat growing belt, the Palouse, is a dynamic landscape shaped by both nature and man. Up early and late to bed make for a tired but satisfied photographer. This landscape holds so much drama as the light changes. Fun to meet everyone and hang out with friends Michael, Jeff, Mark, Kevin and Murray. What a great program.

Canadian Rockies Participant’s Gallery

<!–

Ben Eby: “This workshop was unequivocally an incredible experience, which I will always appreciate. Both Art & Gavriel are great personal mentors, who are most accommodating when it comes to sharing their applied knowledge, and personal experience. I look forward to reconnecting in the future.” To contact Ben about his photos and experience, email him at ben@greystonedesign.on.ca

Kevin Mullen: “I have had the pleasure of taking two different photo workshops with Art Wolfe this year.  Once in Zion in April and the most recent one in the Canadian Rockies.  As a result of these two great workshops I have taken my photography to a new level.  Through the well prepared teaching presentations,  the portfolio reviews  and the personal attention of Art,  I have been able to change how I view the world around me to photograph. With these improved skills from these two workshops I have produced some of the best photographs I have taken in my life with a camera.  Thank you for making photography even more enjoyable!”

Ben, Kevin, Ken and May – Great work all the way around!  Thank you!

Canadian Rockies Tour!

BLOG: Canadian Rockies August 2011 – Images by Art Wolfe

The Canadian Rockies never disappoint. The scenery is the finest you’ll ever want to see, and I was so pleased to share some of my favorite locations with a small group of fellow photographers. We rode on horseback into Jasper National Park’s Tonquin Valley and rose before dawn to photograph the fleeting sunrises. The weather was mercurial: one moment the sun was glinting off the Amethyst Lakes, the next we were being stung in the face with granular snow blowing sideways. We huddled for a few minutes in a defensive circle like muskox and let the storm blow by. There was still ice on many of the lakes and we were able to experiment with abstract macro shots, which was a terrific contrast to the expansive landscape around us. Glacial powder blue Peyto Lake never disappoints and Lake Louise with its bloodred canoes is always iconic. I look forward to taking another group back soon!

Lightroom 3 Help?

September 12, 2011 – Port Angeles, WA – With Jay Goodrich.

This 1-Day class follows Art Wolfe’s Olympic National Park Workshop. This is a great way to take what has just been taught in the field and learn to improve your process of development and managing large volumes of images with Lightroom 3.

As the popularity of digital image making grows, so does a photographer’s image catalog. How do we manage a hundred, thousand, or even 10,000 images? With the latest edition of Lightroom 3, Adobe is making the life of the photographer much, much easier. Photographer and writer Jay Goodrich has been using the Lightroom package since the first version, and is now offering a class to help those who are in need of a management solution for their collection of photographs. This one-day addition to our Olympic Peninsula workshop will begin with an overview of the Library and Develop Modules. Jay will then spend the rest of the time working with each participant to help catalog and maximize the images they created during the previous three days.

Price:$195.00

For more info e-mail Jay at jay@jaygoodrich.com

Note:  Participants in the Olympic Peninsula Workshop will need to book an extra night in Port Angeles. This class is open to anyone.
