Big Bend National Park Workshop
Come and join us on a two day, three night photographic adventure in one of the most unique National Parks in our country. Along with capturing beautiful images, we will have fun along the way. We will pack as much as we can in our time together, so rest up.
If you have never seen the night shy above Big Bend, you are in for an amazing experience. Big Bend National Park has been designated an International Dark Sky Park. One of only 10 left in the world. It has been measured as the darkest sky in the continental United States.
You will learn to capture beautiful images after the sun has disappeared from our horizon. Weather permitting, you can capture stunning star trails, star filled skys, and light painting images.
