Yosemite Fall Colors

Itinerary

To ensure you get the best pictures and to accommodate for any adverse weather, we keep the exact itinerary flexible. The following is an example of what to expect, though it may change slightly as necessary during the workshop.

• Day 1 – we will meet at a location that we will specify closer to the workshop start date around 3:30 to 4:00 after folks have checked into their hotel. From there we’ll photograph sunset and blue hour.  We’ll work our way to one of the park restaurants for dinner.  Depending on the group’s energy level, we’ll likely go out to photograph the spectacular granite walls under the moonlight.  Then we’ll retire to our hotel rooms for the evening.
• Day 2 – meet to photograph sunrise. We’ll work our way through the valley floor stopping at various locations that we chose for the best light for that time of day.  We’ll head to breakfast at Yosemite’s Base Camp Cafeteria.   Because the days are getting shorter, we’ll continue photographing various spots for the rest of the day taking a lunch break and then heading back out again with our cameras in tow to stop a locations that are perfect in the afternoon light.  Depending on the conditions we’ll either stop for an early dinner or shoot from sunset into blue hour then stop for dinner and head back out for some night photography.
• Day 3 – Similar to Day 2.
• Day 4 – Similar to Day 2.
• Day 5 – Similar to Day 2.
• Day 6 – We’ll go out for sunrise, have one last breakfast, and then folks can head back to their hotel to have ample time to check out on time.
