Workshop Overview & Schedule
Each day of the workshop we will shoot multiple different ecosystems.
I’ll teach you everything I know about the specific techniques used for each shoot.
The Olympics are the only place in the USA that has mountains, oceans, rainforests & dark skies all in one location.
It’s my favorite place to take photos in the world!
Visit my photo portfolio for an example of the pictures I’ll teach you to create.
Day 1 – Mountains, Milky Way, Rainforests & Rivers
We meet in the morning and kick off the workshop, driving high into the mountains to shoot.
On the way, we photograph 1500-year-old trees, rainforests, and glacier-fed streams as they cascade out of the mountains.
I’ll teach you long exposures & forest photography at the best shooting locations.
In the afternoon, we will drive further into the mountains and shoot the sunset at one of my favorite locations in the Olympics.
After it gets dark we will shoot the stars & Milky Way over the mountain peaks.
Day 2 – Sea Stacks, Coast, Milky Way & Rainforests
Our first shoot of the day we head out to a new old-growth rainforest on the Pacific Coast.
This location has some of the biggest trees in the park as well as some of my favorite forest shooting locations.
Look closely and you’ll see the photographers in the photo below.
After the rainforest, we will drive out to the coast of the Pacific Ocean to shoot:
- Long exposures
- Sea stacks
- Seascapes
- Sunset
- Milky Way & Stars
You’ll learn all of my camera techniques for each of the shots listed above.
After dark we shoot the Milky Way rising over the sea stacks, with stars reflecting in tidal pools.
This is the only wilderness coastline in the United States.
We will shoot the best spots!
Day 3 – Big Trees, Rainforests & Rivers
We will meet early & take a photo hike through huge 2000-year-old trees in another one of my favorite rainforests.
We will shoot & explore the only temperate rainforest in the USA.
I’ll continue to teach you new skills at each shooting location.

Camera Equipment
Pro Tip: For landscape & night photography, you don’t need much photo gear.
It’s better to become an expert at the minimum amount of gear required to take great photos.
Here’s the equipment I use for reference.
Here is what you should bring:
- Camera Backpack with tripod strap. We will be hiking 1-2 miles with gear.
- 1 DSLR or Mirrorless Camera: Full frame is preferred but any camera will work.

- 1 Telephoto Lens: Anything in the 50-200mm range.
- 1 Tripod. Any will work but the sturdier the better.
- 2 Memory Cards: 32 GB or larger.
- 5 Batteries Fully Charged
- 1 Camera Battery Charger. Charge at your hotel every night.

Sleeping / Lodging Arrangements
Hotel fees are not included in the cost of your admission.
On night 1 of the workshop, I recommend the Red Lion Hotel in Sequim, Washington.
On night 2 of the workshop, I recommend the Forks Motel in Forks, Washington.
I have stayed in each of these hotels to ensure their quality.
Transportation
You are responsible for your own transportation to/from and during the workshop.
Here is what I recommend:
Air Transportation
Seattle / Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is where you should fly into & out of.
Rental Car Information
For those of you who need to rent a car for the workshop, I would suggest renting a small to mid-sized sedan that holds all of your gear and does fairly well on fuel economy.
You do not need a 4WD, truck, or SUV at any time during the workshop.
There are car rental services at Seattle / Tacoma International Airport.
Can I Bring a Friend?
If your friend brings a camera (phone doesn’t count) they must pay for workshop admission.
If they don’t bring a camera, they are welcome to tag along free of charge.
