Tillimuck Bay at Low Tide, © 2007, Jack Graham

The Oregon coastline offers the photographer some of them most beautiful and famous marine views anywhere in the world. This diverse landscape ranges from sandy beaches with 500-600 foot high cliffs dropping off on rocky beaches with crashing waves, to tide pools filled with marine life. Many working lighthouses offer unique photographical experiences. Many small fishing towns offer beautiful harbors with
easy access to fishing boats to capture the essence of life on the Oregon Coast.

This workshop will not only get you to great scenic locations, but serve as an instructional period. This location offers many challenges. Not only will we be shooting the vistas, lighthouses etc, but we will be shooting some of the pristine landscapes and the close up world found in the many tide pools along the coast. Sunrises and sunsets are amazing. We will get you to the right locations, at the right time of day and make the best use of the week on the coast.

This is a trip you won’t forget!

We will begin in Ecola State Park where old growth rain forests abound. Views of the ocean and Tillamook Lighthouse make this area a must. From there we head down the coast to Cannon Beach, known for Haystack
Rock and fabulous sunsets. The town of Tillamook is a bit
further south (known for Tillamook Cheese!).

We will parallel the coast, often not driving on HWY 101 to shoot locations like Cape Lookout, Cape Mears, Devil’s Punchbowl, Cape Fowlweather, Haceta Head and more great locations (with great names!). We will shoot the many lighthouses that still even
today, serves aids to boaters. We will spend evenings in Seaside, Tillamook, Florence,
and in Coos Bay.

One of the most picturesque areas in the lower 48 states is the backdrop for the Columbia River Gorge Photo tour 2008. The Columbia River is the largest river in the West. During the last ice age, about 13,000 years ago, glaciers retreated north, releasing ice & boulders that headed west towards the Pacific Ocean. Along with the creation of the Cascade Mountains came the beautiful, 75 mile long, 1,000 foot deep Columbia River Gorge.

Though the days are long, and we will be in the field all of the time, during the evenings will get together over some food & drink informally to discuss information on photographing in the area and general photography information. Personalized instruction will occur in the field. Choice locations have been determined by many years of shooting in the Gorge.

If you like green this is the place to be. We will be in the field shooting all day during this workshop, from sunrise to sunset.

Moss wrapped trees, dense forests, spring wildflowers, blooming rhododendron are all at peak.

Besides the rich plant life & dense forests, the biggest attraction is the magnificent waterfalls on the Columbia River Gorge. In less than a one hour drive east of Portland you will be in one of the most prolific waterfall areas in the world. Some of these falls drop over 550 feet!!!

We will also drive further east toward Hood River, up the gorge to the rich farmland areas toward Mt. Hood. It is common to have fantastic sunsets along the river.

The Palouse region of Southeastern Washington is made up of rolling hills, old weathered barns and patterns in the hayfields accentuated by the light that makes for simply amazing photography with almost endless possibilities for creative images.

The Palouse is the richest wheat growing area in the United States due many factors. Elevation, location rainfall and rich soil all make it so, that the Palouse is the perfect area for growing grain. In fact there has never been a crop failure in the Palouse. More unbelievable is that there is no irrigation found here at all.

June is the perfect month to be there as the rolling hills are deep green. The cloud patterns found in the springtime make it even better! From countless locations, you can literally look in every direction and see what may be described as a watercolor painting of different shades of green, formed by the patterns of the hills.

This workshop will be fantastic and you will not believe how quick the day flies by shooting in this region.

Over past years Bob Kulon and Jack Graham teamed up for this sold out workshop event. They continue to add new locations and concepts to grow the appeal of this event. Again, Jack is returning to Ohio to add his skills as an instructor and presenter over the series. Due to increasing enthusiastic demand and the need to limit group size, the series will now be repeated over two consecutive weekends, allowing more photographers access to the workshop.

There will be times when we gather together as a group in the field to discuss different aspects of photography, both technical and compositionally. Because of the size of the group, a great deal of individual attention will be paid to each of you. Topics that we'll discuss over lunch and at other different times in the field, will vary from

• how to attaining the best sharpness in the field
• making panoramas
• macro techniques
• basic compositional and exposure techniques
• preparation and maintaining good photographic attitudes.

We will be bringing in other assistants to assist as needed. (These are folks that we know that understand photography and can answer questions and demonstrate everything you need to know giving you one-on-one attention). We will try to provide at least one instructor for every 8 or 9 folks in the workshop. The workshop will take place rain or shine (We actually look for a bit of rain to enhance the already vivid colors, while rendering the tree trunks dark to even bring the color out more!)

Some images shot over the past few years during the fall can be found at www.bobkulonphoto.com as well as at www.jackgrahamphoto.com More details are available on request. Tentative itinerates will be sent out around October 1st then fine-tuned weekly and sometimes daily right up to the beginning of the workshop.

WORKSHOP FEES:

• Total weekend (3½ days) including Amish shoot — $295
• Partial weekend (2½ days) without the Amish shoot — $175

The Amish Farm Shoot and Banquet

This year, as last year, we will offer you a truly awesome experience. On Thursday, an optional extra day, we will go down to the Amish Country (around Sugar Creek, Berlin, Trail) to shoot the fall color & harvest, as well as enjoy some shooting in and around an Amish farm.

Last year we had full access to the property as well as some set up shots of the Amish with their buggy as well as animals.

What could be more fitting than to end this perfect day with a catered Amish Farm meal! This family has a facility across the street from their farm that caters Amish Family style cooking, where we will be able to enjoy dinner, after the day’s shoot.

This is an opportunity that few have been able to experience and one that should be a truly memorable event. If you can’t make the Amish shoot on Thursday, you are as always encouraged to attend the remaining weekend workshop here in the Northeastern area of Ohio.
