Sneffels.
 
Our days are filled with photography and digital camera lessons and our accommodations are at the Matterhorn Inn and at the Ouray RV Park.  We caravan from Durango on Sunday, October 4th and spend the day capturing images, stopping for instruction along the way to Ouray.  Molas Pass, Red Mountain Pass, and the blooming fall color promises to be a great way to learn new photography skills.
 
Skills taught:
  • Composition of the grand and intimate fall scene
  • Proper use of aperture and shutter speed (sometimes we have to deal with wind!)
  • Talk about what makes a photograph look like a painting.
  • Right moment to press the shutter
  • Learn how to use the bells and whistles of YOUR camera.
  • All levels welcome, beginners to advanced photographers, everyone can learn something new.

On Monday, we’ll photograph the Cimarron Range outside of Ridgway, and explore Owl Creek pass; another stunning location is at the Dallas Creek within the Sneffels Range.  Sunset finds us at Dallas Divide, the location for one of the most famous and familiar of fall, mountain images in Colorado.
