A short review of my recent Northwest Montana Fall
Photography Workshop.
Well fall is waning here in Northwest Montana and snow has
covered the high country as well as some of the valleys. The cold bite of an early winter is in the
air and around the house firewood is being split and stacked.

This year’s Northwest
Montana Fall Photography Workshop was blessed with good weather and some of the
best colors in years.
The yellows of the
cottonwood and reds of the dogwoods were amazingly vivid giving us plenty of
subjects to work with.
Participants
explored a variety of locations including streams, rivers and lakes, pastures
and farmland, and aspen, birch and poplar forests ablaze with golden color and
of course all with the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains; they were even treated
to a grizzly fattening up for the winter!
For those that came

a day early a trip to the National Bison Range
provided plenty of wildlife; elk, mule and whitetail deer, bison, and pronghorn
were on display at their best.

Besides pointing our cameras at the beauty of fall in
northwest Montana, techniques for landscape, macro, and even a bit of wildlife
photography were covered.
Techniques
such as; use of fill-flash, under exposing and using flash to recover the foreground,
ultra-long exposures, and pleasing blurs and zooms.
In addition, understanding composition and effective
use of available light were explored in the field in real time.
A great time was had by all and everyone left
more knowledgeable and lots of new tools to practice upon returning home.
