The Best Photography Seminars, Workshops, and Photo Safaris

Favorite Photo, June 9
I was leading my annual June photography workshop in Northern Michigan and we were on a night photography field trip. It was a gorgeous night. At just the right time we were able to catch the edge between twilight and night with the planet Venus and stars over Lake Michigan. This is one of my two most favorite photos for this date.

Favorite Photo, August 14
Blue-headed green frog, Northern Michigan. August 14, 2016
My favorite photos for August 14 all came from the same year, 2016. I was leading a photography workshop in Northern Michigan and we were out on an evening field trip. It turned out to be a great evening for photography, so it was hard to pick THE favorite photo for the day.
Favorite Photo, August 12
Group Portrait
All my favorite photos for August 12 were again (August 11 post) from Jeremy Bruskotter and I’s second nature photography workshop at Gibraltar Island for OSU. Out of those photos my most favorite image was the group photo toward the end of the morning field trip. A little Photoshop might have been involved.

Northern Michigan Photography Workshop
Evening field trip.
Northern Michigan Photography Workshop
It takes a lot of gear to lead a photography workshop. iPhone photo.
I’ve been in Northern Michigan for the last several days leading a photography workshop. It takes a lot of gear. Laptop, two digital projectors, video player, a stereo sound system, 16×24 display prints, loaner closeup equipment so everyone can do closeup photography that doesn’t have closeup gear, my favorite nature photography books so people can look through them and see what they might want to buy in the future as their skills increase, copies of my photography book, collapsible fabric 18% grey cards so they can do a custom white balance settings in the field, shutter speed charts, hyperfocal distance charts, three different exposure guides, and more. Oh, almost forgot, my own photography equipment.
