About the Workshop
Learn how to photograph waterfalls from one of the best places on earth to do it from. We'll hike to 9 waterfalls (4 of which you can walk behind). Spring is the perfect time to visit Silver Falls State Park as all the waterfalls flowing with the spring runoff. Springtime is also a great time to photograph nature's beauty with all the wonderful flora and fauna. We'll be shooting from an unique and special location. There will be hiking involved (5.3 miles total). There are hills and stairs involved. Steady rain in the forecast will postpone this workshop.

All of my workshops are outdoors and are limited in size (depending on the location). I am fully vaccinated (including bivalent booster). Social distancing is encouraged. If you registered for a workshop and become symptomatic the week of the workshop, contact me so we can work out an alternate plan.
