Exploring the Canadian Rockies: A Photographer's Dream
There's something about the Canadian Rockies that captures our hearts and ignites a sense of wonder within us. Its vastness, beauty, and ruggedness make it a must-visit destination for photographers. However, capturing the perfect shot in this stunning landscape can be challenging. Every turn in the road reveals a new perspective, a different, captivating angle. It's no wonder that this region attracts photographers from all over the world. As we make our way through this awe-inspiring region, our home for the week will be downtown Canmore, a beautiful, quiet town that offers easy access to hidden gems just outside the park entrance. But no distance will stop us from capturing unique and awe-inspiring images.
But let's not forget, while we may be seeking that perfect shot, it's also important to take in the beauty of our surroundings and appreciate the abundance of wildlife that calls this region home. The Canadian Rockies are not just a photographer's dream but a place to immerse ourselves in nature and truly appreciate all it has to offer. So come prepared for a week of nonstop action as we explore the Canadian Rockies together, capturing unforgettable images and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity – join us on this journey through one of the most beautiful places on earth. Grab your cameras and prepare for an adventure like no other – the Canadian Rockies await!

What To Bring - Camera Equipment
I'm sure you will have questions about what to bring for photographing. The answer is everything. Specifically, I recommend lenses that cover the 35mm equivalent range of 15‐200mm, with wider and longer lenses being useful if you have them! You will also want to have with you ND (neutral density) filters of 5 and 10 stops (recommended) and a polarizer. Drones are not allowed in National Park, but we will visit areas outside the park where drones can fly.
What To Bring - Gear List
Please bring as much cold-weather clothing as you feel comfortable wearing, as temperatures can reach as low as the teens. Layering is the best way to combat the warmth and cold you will experience. My favorite items include:
A medium to heavy down-filled jacket with a wind-shield Gortex top.
Thermal insulation for the base layer.
A beanie hat.
Gloves.
Transportation
We will meet at the townhome in Canmore. Please let me know if you need assistance driving from the airport to Canmore. We will carpool once the workshop starts.
Cancellation Policy
A refund is available if notification is given at least 60 days before the start
