Results of Fall Photography Workshop

[Spearing Machine]

I am finally catching up a little bit on sorting and cleaning up my photos from the summer and the photo workshop that Ken and Steve led a couple of weeks ago. I just want to thank them both for putting on a wonderful event even though the turnout was less than had hoped for. They both spent hours preparing and scouting and pretty much bent over backwards for us students in the class. They both helped out with giving new techniques and advice for creating wondering pictures as well as locations in NE MN to search out. Here are a few pictures that I liked from the class. If anyone gets the opportunity or would like the opportunity to work with these gentleman, contact them and I am sure they would be glad to help you out.

Nice work Jeremy! I second your comments about working with Ken and Steve, I took the spring workshop and it has changed my technique tremendously.

I should say it Improved my techniques tremendously!

[LeeKen]

Fantastic work! Wow! Except for the last two, I'd love to hang all of those.

Your images speak well for your photography skills and additionally, make me think I should make a pilgrimage to see the "Gurus".

I think I'm going to have to show these to my wife.

[Steve Foss]

Great stuff, Jeremy! Thanks for sharing with us, and very happy you had a rewarding time.

We weren't too worried about filling either workshop, since it was the first year we'd teamed up for them. Just neat that we had a bunch of cool and motivated people to work with.

I second Steve's comments. We've had great people to get our workshops going!

Nice pics. I am in the market for a new camera. I think a workshop after I get a little more comfortable with whatever I get will be in order.

IA4PATS and LeeKen (and all others), our dates for next year's workshops are set. The wildflowers workshop will be June 14-17, and the autumn color one Sept 27-30. These are Fri-Sun, with Thursday evening orientation sessions. We'd love to have you. These are tremendously enjoyable learning/sharing opportunities, and Ken and I scout them thoroughly in advance to ensure the best blooms and fall color. I also guide one-day nature photo excursions for individuals or small groups.

You can find out more about the workshops here and about the excursions here.

Thanks all! It was well worth the trip and I learned so much from these guys as I have in the past as well. I promise you that they don't disappoint and they make it as fun as you want! Not sure if Ken and Steve would think the same about some students though. Some people like to hike especially up rather large hills:-)

....but only by completing the journey do you find the reward!!!

One interesting note, especially for the June workshop. The area that we photograph a lot, and bring our tours through, now include some of the area outside of the BWCA that was effected by the Pagami Creek Fire. Regeneration will be especially exciting to see new (and sometimes rare or unique)growth in the early stages of this process.

Great series Jeremy. I really like the pitcher plant.

To anyone considering the work shop, Ken and Steve are great to shoot with and very knowledgable.

I was up there today and was suprised by the regrowth already. All kind of things are popping up. It will be very neat to watch.
