Olympic National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site is three parks in one, offering us a unique opportunity to capture magical images of superb coastal, mountain, and rain forest scenery. Here you will find the longest undeveloped coast in the contiguous United States, with pebble-beaches, towering cliffs and offshore sea stacks; rain forests with moss-covered trees (the best example of intact temperate rainforest in the Pacific Northwest); glacier-capped peaks interspersed with extensive alpine meadows; and a stunning variety of marine and mountain plants and animals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#cccccc&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; height=&#8221;10px&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Key Features:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Gain a strong technical and creative foundation in outdoor photography<\/li>\n<li>Learn the importance of \u201cseeing the light,\u201d weather forecasting and location scouting<\/li>\n<li>Learn how to use filters in the field to control dynamic range<\/li>\n<li>Learn strategies for making dynamic compositions that have energy and engage the viewer<\/li>\n<li>Learn how to choose aperture and hyperfocal focusing for depth of field<\/li>\n<li>Bring your images to life using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop (beginner and advanced techniques)<\/li>\n<li>Get individualized instruction and critique in the field as well as classroom<\/li>\n<li>Photograph tide pools, streams &amp; waterfalls and lush old growth rain forests<\/li>\n<li>Photograph sunrise and sunsets along the wild Olympic coast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#cccccc&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; height=&#8221;10px&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Schedule:<\/h4>\n<p>The workshop will kick off on Thursday May 14, 2026 at 3:30 PM at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forksmotel.com\/\">Forks Motel<\/a> with a short reception and presentation and then it&#8217;s into the field we go to make images.
