Hands-on training will help you benefit from the many features of your new digital equipment—as well as help you work on those great images you produce on our tours in your "digital darkroom."

Our three new weeklong classes focus on the basic needs of nature photographers and encompass topics both in the field and in the digital darkroom. Each course is taught by a digital imaging expert—all of whom are professional nature photographers as well—who will guide you through the essentials in our state-of-the-art PC-based classrooms in Atlanta, San Diego and Seattle.

Instructors will take you step-by-step through the fundamentals of the digital workflow. You will become familiar with a variety of digital hardware and software options, learn to navigate the Photoshop® maze and discover how to create the best possible prints using today’s amazing inkjet printers. These courses will set you on the right path and jumpstart your understanding of the stimulating process of digital imaging.

Our classes are noticeably different—designed by nature photographers, for nature photographers—and eliminate the unnecessary steps and equipment not needed for our craft. We begin each course with a day in the field to reinforce the importance of creating good in-camera images that can be used in the following days in the classroom.
