By: Lynn Radeka
Date: 2023-10-16 - 2023-10-20
Location: New Mexico
NEW MEXICO! A land of grand vistas, ancient dwellings, fantastic ghost towns, historic churches and some of the world's most unusual and photogenic scenery. Join Photographers Lynn Radeka and Jerry Sheridan on this third year for this popular workshop where we will explore and photograph some of the American West's most iconic locations and seldom-visited places. From the beautiful New Mexico churches and missions, to photogenic lava, eroded sandstone details and ancient Indian Petroglyphs. Classic New Mexico architecture, colorful backroads and centuries old churches will highlight the purely New Mexican experience.
Our basic itinerary begins east of Albuquerque on old route 66. From there we head north on the famous Turquoise Trail and photograph the semi-ghosts of Golden, Madrid and Cerillos, photogenic towns with colorful and historic churches and unusual graveyards which provided the locations for several western movies. Santa Fe, with its world-renowned architecture including historic churches and colorful backroads, is next. After that we travel along the "high road to Taos", including the historic and highly photogenic missions and churches of old New Mexico including Chimayo, Las Trampas and Taos - locations frequently visited and photographed by Ansel Adams.
Driving down from Taos brings us through Georgia O'Keefe country and Bandalier National Monument. A visit to a well preserved living history pueblo, then, time permitting, Petroglyph National Monument on the outskirts of Albuquerque.
This workshop is open to all photographers whether shooting large or small format black and white or color, traditional or digital, of any experience level. Meals are not included in this workshop. Please inquire about any special concerns or limitations. Nearby hotel and motel accommodations are available within an hour's drive from each day's locations. A list of accommodations will be emailed to everyone.
For large format film photographers, Lynn will offer any guidance you desire. Contrast masking (for photographers shooting film) will be discussed as well as other traditional developing/printing methods such as the Ansel Adams Zone System. Jerry Sheridan will be discussing the BTZS system. Fred Newman has graciously offered his help after the workshop for those interested in BTZS techniques of exposure and development including testing. Digital photographers will enjoy the array of interesting software programs and techniques we may be demonstrating as well, including focus stacking for extreme depth of field and HDR for controlling extreme contrast. More importantly, the workshop flow will be largely determined by the needs and desires of the workshop participants, ensuring a very enjoyable experience for everyone.
Lynn will be handing out durable viewing cards (an aid in visualizing compositions) to those shooting large format film. He will be assisting attendees in obtaining the best exposures and white balance settings using RAW format for those photographers shooting digital, and zone system methods, previsualization, exposure, development, view camera controls and selection of filters to those photographers shooting traditional large format.
Tag-alongs are not allowed on this workshop except for spouses which are required to be self-sufficient. This workshop is limited to eight paid participants. Please see the signup details below.
