Colorado’s Rocky Mountains in October are the definition of autumn. Hillsides and valleys filled with fall color spread out below jagged snow-capped peaks that push themselves into the wild blue yonder.

For this workshop I'll once again be teaming up with Margo Pinkerton of Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures (BCPA). Join  us in the gorgeous Rockies of Colorado, with dramatic scenery, vibrant fall Aspens and Cottonwoods, and ghost towns that harken back to a bygone era. People travel to this part of the country to take in the beautiful yellows of the trees against clear-blue skies and explore old log buildings and vibrant mountain pastures.

The workshop starts Monday, October 4 at noon and ends Friday the 8th by 2:00 pm.

Plan on bringing a full range of lenses from a wide-angle zoom to a tele-photo zoom that extends to at least 200mm and as long as 400mm. These will be good landscape lenses when the scenery calls for them. Though we won't plan on searching for wildlife, a long lens would be best for the surprise appearances of elk or mule deer. Add a macro lens for close ups of fallen leaves and autumn reflections.

Our small group size of ten photographers and two leaders means you'll get plenty of individual attention.

The autumn weather can bring a wide range of conditions. The morning temperatures can be in the mid-20s while sunny afternoons can reach into the low 60s. Breezes at our high-elevation vistas can be chilly. And fresh snow is always a possibility.

We haven’t planned any hiking, but you’ll find hiking shoes are suited to the terrain we’ll encounter. Most often we’ll be within a hundred yards of our vehicles.

Join us for this autumn adventure in the Rockies. Together we’ll explore Colorado’s stunning fall landscapes and make beautiful photographs all along the way.

Registration is through BCPA (BCPA payment and cancelation policies apply). For even more information about this trip, and to sign up, visit Margo's Colorado Fall Color page.
