FREE Houston Motorsports Ranch Workshop

Sunday, Sept 2 starting at 8:00 am
Roy's Garage - Turn 17
Presented by Woodallen Photography

I will be holding a FREE workshop on Sunday, Sept 2 starting at 8:00a m. We will be at Houston Motorsports Ranch just off 288 South. The project is to photograph a friend of mine that has a garage at the track with several of his race cars in it. He has agreed to be a model for us along with all the garage activity in the back ground.

My plan is to make it look like a racing poster as if he is a world famous driver and team owner. He will be in his racing clothes with his favorite car. This will be a complicated photograph to do and a great learning experience for the club members that attend and help. Bring sun screen and a hat as well as ear protection. I think a monopod will be better for the action on the track if you decide to photograph that as well. Feel free to bring your camera and set up next to me for the poster image or pick your own angle.

Please go to msrhouston.com for information about the track and directions. When you enter the park please get directions to Roy Johnson’s Garage at Turn 17.

If you plan on attending please send confirming email so I know how many to expect.

BRING WATER!

Look forward to seeing everyone there.

2013 Big Bend Photography Workshop

January 25 - February 1, 2013
Presented by Woodallen Photography with
Mike Marvins and Alan Montgomery

Another exciting workshop (arrive January 19 – depart noon January 25) at beautiful Big Bend Ranch State Park.  We will operate out of the Big Bend Ranch State Park Headquarters in far West Texas. It is 350,000 incredible acres of pictures just waiting to be made. Mike and Alan will take you to places that you did not know existed and have never thought about photographing.  The days will be filled with field trips, Photoshop help, great discussions and image critiques as well as a lot of practical knowledge and just plain fun. We are limiting the workshop to 10 folks so there will be lots of personal instruction.

Mike and Alan are both fourth generation photographers and have been making their living in photography for many years. They will bring not only their experience to the workshop but will help you “see the image” before you make the photograph and then guide you in the technical aspects of capturing what you see. We will be in the field early for sunrise and the beautiful morning light returning to HQ for lunch and time to discuss the problems and solutions of the morning. We then go out again in the afternoon to capture the beautiful light in the high desert and some spectacular sunsets. We will be painting with light and doing some star photography as well. Nick Quinn, a true master in Photoshop, will be along as our Photoshop guide to help each person get the most from their images.

The workshop is $650 plus the minimal cost of staying at the park HQ with meals. A $250 deposit and signed release form is required to hold your spot with the balance due on or before November 1, 2012. CLICK HERE to download the release form. The last three trips have been sold out early so get in touch soon! Please contact Alan at 713-526-1747 or alan@woodallen.com for additional information and to register.

Upon registration, we will update you with equipment suggestions and other information leading up to the workshop. A full refund is available until November 1, 2012 and you have the opportunity to sell your spot after that date if you cannot attend.

Hope you will join us - Alan and Mike
