Landscape Photography with William Rainey
Landscape Photography – preplanning for a future shoot or an inspiration of an idea, as well as going through my equipment. Myself, I always have many different directions to go to make the most of my time, and to make the most of great light and a dramatic scene. Since nature is unpredictable, I will share what I do when things don’t go as planned.

Personal Projects are created from a burning desire to photograph with a message in mind.
The subject of your message could be on identity, diversity, atrocity, or even a pandemic. But how do you get started? How do you gain access to photograph the subjects that inspire you? And what about process? If starting can be hard, how do you know when you are done?

Landscape Photography Workshop Petit Jean State Park with Greg Disch
When: May 15-17, 2020 (Friday 5pm – Sunday 4pm)
Where: Petit Jean State Park
This workshop will have a maximum of 16 students.
Cost:
- PSNWA Member: $199

During this weekend photography workshop we will spend time in both a classroom setting and in the field photographing so that you immediately put into practice what you learn in the class.
Petit Jean State Park is an Arkansas classic, a natural and historic treasure that has welcomed travelers for decades. The natural beauty and ancient geology of the legendary Petit Jean Mountain inspired the creation of Arkansas’s first state park and with it our state park system. The park mirrors the mountain’s rugged beauty with its rustic-style, native log and stone facilities constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) beginning in 1933. The CCC built trails, roads, bridges, cabins, and the focal point of the park, historic Mather Lodge, a 24-room lodge overlooking Cedar Creek Canyon.
Landscape photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made features or disturbances of landscapes.
Learn to take fantastic landscape photos in this weekend workshop. We will have time in the classroom combined with several landscape photo shoots allowing us to go from an idea to a finished photo. We will go through the process of finding a location, photographing, and then complete the image with post processing in Adobe Lightroom.
