Ooooooh! Aaaah!

This is going to be a sweet trip. Wish I could even think about going!

[DavidTO]

I'll tell you some of the reasons why this workshop is so exciting.

• Unlike our shootouts, this is limited attendance, so you are guaranteed to get plenty of personal attention.
• We're going deep into Utah, taking 4 wheel drive vehicles to get to some really remote spots.
• We're going to have a guide on those back roads, who's going to be preparing us dinner out in the wild. Our own chuck wagon type dinner. It's going to be awesome.
• We're going to be shooting the painted rocks at night. Set the cameras up, and hang out by the fire, maybe have a couple of beers and enjoy the great outdoors. Camping with a purpose. (But to be clear, you're not paying to camp. You'll have a bed each night. )
• The workshops and critiques are going to add great value to this trip, making sure that whatever your skill level that you will go up to the next level.

Dave,

You're right!! It IS going to be insanely fun!!

I signed up tonight for myself and Nightingale. Slam dunk!! Nightingale is thrilled to be coming also.

Nightingale and I went to Goblin Valley and Little Horse slot canyon last year on the way to Bryce and are looking forward to returning and learning from Marc's tutelage.

We know Marc from Yosemite and Bryce and Zion and cannot imagine someone easier to talk to about photography. He is so helpful and delightful to spend time with.

We spent a couple days in Bluff Utah on the way home last spring and look forward to returning to Hanksville and southern Utah - this trip sounds like great fun and a great learning experience. Shooting at night is something I have wanted to learn more about. Rock art is a favorite of mine also. Jeeps into the outback. Beer. What is not to like here!!?? Yahoo!! Nightingale and I are IN!!

[Nikolai]

I wish I had funds for that...

[DavidTO]

Well, it HAS to happen now, it's in the Calendar!

This was on the equipment list:

• Digital camera
• Wide angle lens (full size sensor - 24mm or wider)!

What's wide angle lens with a full size sensor?

DSLRs come with full frame sensors, which are the same size as 35mm, and smaller sensors, generally 1.5 or 1.6 times smaller. Because they're smaller, the effective focal length of a lens is different on the smaller sensors. On a 1.6x conversion factor camera a 100mm lens would be the equivalent to a 160mm lens on a full frame sensor camera. Marc's just letting you know what he means by wide angle, and giving the sensor size to be specific.

So in short terms:

if you have a 5d or 1ds, bring a 24mm

if you have a 20/30/350/400d, bring a 15mm.

Wow. You've really dropped your Nikon ways, eh?

[Phyxius]

This certainly sounds cool and if I had the money and time (I'm already going on four "vacations" including the shoot out!) I'd go in a heartbeat!

Hope you all have fun!!
