Tour Description

Introduction:

It's no secret that the Spring wildflowers in the foothills are among the most beautiful in the Rockies. Spend the day with multi award winning outdoor photographer Brian Merry as he teaches a field workshop on macro photography in one of the Spring wildflower hotspots in the Rockies.

The Macro and Landscape Photography Day Tour:

Join me as I show you the colourful outdoor wildflower world at the Macro level! I'll use my intimate knowledge of the area gained through my 20 years of professional landscape photography and recreation backcountry experience in these mountains to take you to the best locations for macro wilflower photography in the foothills. I'll demonstrate my shooting technique first. Then everyone will spread out to photograph macro wildflowers subjects on their own. The Foothills are beautiful, and the wildflowers blooming at this time of year are amazing!
