Shooting from the Road
with David Downs
REGISTER NOW
Have you ever wondered how a photographer found a certain location...in the dark?
How did they discover it in the first place?
The world is a big place; you can't see it all, but when you're heading somewhere on vacation, how do you prepare for the photographic opportunities that await you? We will spend our time together reviewing the tools and resources available to photographers to plan their visits to places across the globe. Whether you are traveling with family or have the great good fortune to be headed out purely for photography, a little planning on the front end coupled with some recommendations based on my experience can help you capture the story, the moment, the view, and the emotion.
