Have you wondered about storm chasing? Wanted to go but haven't had anyone to go with? Wanted photographs of the truly awesome thunderstorms that grace the High Plains each Spring and Summer?
We had a successful and exciting tour this year at the end Of May. We're planning our next adventure now and will announce here.
We'll keep the itinerary flexible so we maximize the photographic opportunities, while keeping everyone safe. (Unlike most storm chasing tours, this one is about good photographs, not adrenalin rushes.)
Photographers of all skill levels will be welcome, including those who utilize smartphone cameras. The tour is limited to six participants and will have two guides, Jake Werth and Kent Winchester from the Albuquerque Photographers' Gallery. Included in the costs are the guides, teaching, photo reviews, workshop transportation, and lodging.
Learn & Photograph with Passion
We'll work in different lighting conditions with short/long exposure and aperture.
Learn about night photography techniques on the dark and beautiful high plains,
Handling equipment with care on location, especially tripods.
Assistance with camera settings, the basics of composition, guide and help in general.
Hands-on lessons that can take your photography skills to the next level.
Review and constructive criticism/feedback of the images taken during the day.
Workflow in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop
Discussions on various topics while we travel(qualities of light and how to manage it, when and how to use various kinds of filters, crafting panoramic photographs, and why we photograph magnificent, even awesome storms.
Itinerary
The exact itinerary will be kept flexible to account for the weather and current conditions. We'll use weather forecasts, radars, and the latest NOAA weather sites to pick the best spots. The itinerary below is an example of what you can expect.
1st Day - We will meet in Albuquerque, load our gear in the van, and head east to the high plains and storms. We'll go with the storms, which means we'll spend the nights in motels/hotels (Included in the price) in the community closest to where we end the photographic day. (After sunset.)
2nd - 3rd Day - Depending on late we've been up the night before and how far we need to drive to the next day's storms we'll have a leisurely breakfast before departing. We plan this adventure to arrive at the best spots at the best time of the day. We tend to be at some specific location with low light conditions (dusk and dawn) for photographing.
4th Day - We head back for Albuquerque, arriving in time for evening flights.
