Wildflowers:  In The Mountains of Colorado

Our epic snowfall in Colorado has us drooling for this summer’s wildflower season. We will explore and photograph at some of the most prolific locations for Colorado Columbine, Paintbrush, Marsh Marigold, Brook Cress and other high altitude flowers.  Chase the Light Photography will escort you to our favorite locations outside of Silverton, Durango and Mancos, Colorado.

We meet in Durango, Colorado for an introduction to Wildflowers Photography, then caravan up into the mountains for a day of photo lessons.  Bring your tripod so Kit Frost can teach you to properly compose, expose and enjoy the wilds.  Our lessons include the intimate moments of a single Columbine as well as the grand landscape of wildflower, middle-ground and mountains.

We escort you to a selection of high altitude creeks and waterfalls to photograph the wilds alongside the moving water.

 

We take you to locations that speak to wildflowers, middle-ground and mountains; teaching you how to use your aperture to capture this spectacle.

Bring your digital camera gear, your assortment of lenses, a point and shoot and/or your iPhone for sketching and composition lessons.  Bring your tripod, it’s essential that we see what you are composing in the field so we can work with you to improve your wildflower images.  Bring your enthusiasm and dress in layers.
