Join Craig Tanner and Marti Jeffers as we photograph some of Death Valley’s most captivating features in beautiful light, such as the Mesquite Flat Dunes, Badwater, Golden Canyon, Zabriskie Point, and many more! Presentations cover traditional topics such as exposure and composition, and digital darkroom techniques for post processing your images. In the field instruction and daily critique of work shot during the workshop using a digital projector are a major focus of the week.
The general schedule for this 6-day workshop is shooting sessions in the early morning for sunrise and in the evening for sunset. There are classroom sessions for lecture and/or image critique during the day, as well as a lab where Craig and Marti are available for assistance with selection of your images for critique and with the use of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. The schedule is flexible and dependent on weather. As the days are long, we plan to have one morning off in the middle of the week, and breaks during the day each dayof the workshop.

Testimonials
“I thought the quote by Y. B. Yates was applicable to your teaching styles and the TME workshop experience: “Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.” Both of you were fire starters in my photographic journey. .“ -- Chuck D. (Death Valley National Park Workshop participant 2009).
“Perhaps there is no other way to say how great these workshops are than by booking another to return...I have done so numerous times and have found no other workshop experience that offers the same caliber of teaching and overall experience as TME workshops. Craig and Marti are a tremendous team and continue to elevate the experience to new highs--I am constantly learning new things at the workshops. .“ --Steve M. (Death Valley National Park Workshop participant 2009).
“The Death Valley National Park workshop was superb! I came out of it not only with great photos, but with improved photographic vision and techniques. Everything was excellent: The locations and outings, the instructions and demonstrations, and the individual photo critique. Craig created a great atmosphere in which we all learned from each other as well as from him… the teaching was supportive, skillful, and excellent. I would recommend this workshop enthusiastically to anyone looking to boost their landscape photography to the next level.“ -- Saul S. (Death Valley National Park Workshop participant 2008).
“The Death Valley National Park workshop was my second workshop with Craig and it won’t be my last. Craig and the other instructors have found their passion in teaching and it shows.

(Death Valley National Park Workshop participant 2008).
