Co-leading Photo Tour to Triple "D" Game Farm in Kalispell, Montana - Nov. 15-18 2007
For anyone who has never been on a game farm shoot before, you’re in for an experience that will leave you speechless. You’ll have the opportunity to get up close and personal with animals such as snow leopards, tundra wolves, Canada lynx, Siberian tiger, red fox, cougars and a whole lot more!
This guided photo workshop is scheduled for three days, November 15th - 17th, with an additional day, November 18th, reserved in the event of bad weather. Triple “D” will offer a minimum of eight photo sessions during the three day period, with instruction and assistance by two Triple “D” veterans. In the event that November 18th isn’t needed as a makeup day for inclement weather, Triple “D” will offer additional animal sessions at a reduced rate, or we can wander to one of many other locations nearby, including Glacier National Park.
Space will be limited to 10 participants in order to ensure plenty of in-depth time and discussion.

What can I expect from the workshop? The workshop will begin on Wednesday night, November 14th, with a meet and greet, followed by an organizational meeting.

In between sessions, there will be plenty of topics covered which will be chosen based upon the group’s desires. Topics will include everything from proper equipment and setup for wildlife shooting, composition, exposure control and lighting, tips and tricks to photographing animals, among others. We’ll also be providing feedback through reviews and critiques of your work, so bring plenty of pictures!
