Fall in the Missouri Ozarks
October 17 - 20, 2024
Join Craig McCord, a seasoned photographer with years of experience, for an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the autumn colors in Eminence, Missouri and the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Over the course of 3 1/2 days, you will not only capture stunning images of old grist mills, cascades, and natural springs, but you may also have the chance to encounter and photograph wild horse herds. These magnificent creatures have a remarkable tolerance for photographers, as long as you approach them with utmost caution and respect. This hands-on field instruction is the perfect chance to refine your photography skills, and create exceptional images in a truly awe-inspiring setting.
Typical Shooting Locations include (but not limited) to:
Klepzig Mill
Alley Spring and Mill
Rocky Falls, Upper and Lower areas
Little Rocky Creek Shut-ins
Blue Spring
Falling Spring Mill
Prairie Hollow Gorge
Welsh Spring
Wild horses of Shannon County (provided they cooperate)
This workshop will focus on hands-on field photography. You will be given personal attention to help you not only come away with memorable images, but also help you expand your knowledge and grow as a photographer and inspire your creative vision. Some actual assignments will be encouraged focusing on certain techniques, e.g., macro and wide-angle. This workshop will include at least one image review session and discussion about composition, exposure, and how to gain control using manual camera settings. Workflow techniques involving post processing in Lightroom, Photoshop and NIK plugins will also be demonstrated.
Lodging/Meals: The group will base out of Eminance, Missouri. A block of rooms have been set aside at the Shady Lane Motel and Cabins, (573) 226-3893. When making your reservations, please identify that you are with the Craig McCord Photography group. You are not required to lodge at the Shady Lane but our shooting sessions will depart from and return to this location. While meals are not included, the the group often dines together but this is not required.
We will meet at the office area of Shady Lane Motel and Cabins at 3:00pm on Thursday, October 17th to go over administrative items and get to know one another before venturing out for our first evening shoot. The workshop will end after our morning shoot on Sunday the 20th.
Group Size: Only 6 Slots will be available for this workshop. So, it is important to sign up early.
Why Only 6: By keeping the group size small it best enables me to provide quality one-on-one instruction to participants based on individual needs and skills. This is not a photo tour, it is meant to be a valuable learning experience as well as an opportunity to bring home some fabulous images.
Tuition: $495. A $150 non-refundable deposit will be required at the time of registration. Balance will be due no later than 60 days prior to the workshop start date.
Items Not Included: Lodging, travel to/from workshop, transportation, and meals.
