Learn the skills of landscape, macro, wildlife and nature photography, and learn how to use your camera to its fullest potential. Everyone from advanced amateurs to first timers will gain a new perspective on photography and Rocky Mountain National Park.   By using professional level digital cameras with a selection of lenses you can get shots of the majestic mountain vistas or zoom in on a Bull Elk's eye lashes.

Photo Training Videos

    Shooting digital allows beginners to learn extremely fast and more advanced photographers can really work on the finer points of this art. First we will start by taking a quick tour of your camera making sure its set up to capture the best pictures possible. Then learn aspects of photography such as composition, light metering, reading a histogram, and some secrets that will improve every shot you take. If you want to make the jump from "point and shoot"  to the world of "f stops" and "shutter speed," this is the perfect opportunity for you. We can focus on your passion be it Landscape, Wildlife, or Macro photography, or perhaps all three.  At the end of the day sit down and learn Photoshop techniques that will help make the most of your digital images.

    Even though this is a photographic tour you will still learn tons of interesting facts and gain a new respect for this amazing environment. Plus when its over you will have a CD of your photographs to impress all your friends and family.

Check out Yellow Wood Guiding's Wildlife and Photography Blog for the latest updates of what we are seeing and photographing in the park.
