Fine Tuning the Itinerary

I'm a bit obsessive about my workshops. People come from a long way to attend them, so I want to make sure that they get the best possible opportunities presented to them in the limited time that we have. For the short Eastern Sierra / Tioga Pass workshop leading up to my Bodie night and interiors workshop in early June, I did several scouting laps of the area we'd cover to make sure that I knew where the wildflowers were best, where the Milky Way was and how it would be positioned, whether or not the morning air was still cold enough to produce steam by the local hydrothermal pools and when the light would strike it, where lakes and ponds were free of ice along Tioga Pass Road and where snow melt ponds provided unique and ephemeral reflections. We only had a couple of days before heading up to Bodie, but we packed a lot of opportunities into that time.

That format of having a little extra night photography practice leading up to the Bodie session worked well, so I can't wait for my next Eastern Sierra workshop coming up later this month!
