Bishop Photography Workshop
I just got back from four days in Bishop at a photography workshop with the amazing nature photographer, John Shaw. He’s does stunning work (he showed us a lot of his recent stuff). He’s now converted to all digital and he’s a Photoshop wizard, so it was like two workshops in one — field photography and digital workflow.
We went out before sunrise each morning, and again before sunset. Among the shooting locations were the Alabama Hills (photo above), Mono Lake, and a field of Irises with the Eastern Sierra in the background. What an amazing place for outdoor photography. No wonder Galen Rowell was so taken with the place.
“I almost never set out to photograph a landscape, nor do I think of my camera as a means of recording a mountain or an animal unless I absolutely need a ‘record shot’. My first thought is always of light.” — Galen Rowell
