Photography at Zzyzx
April 3-5, 2009
October 2009 - Specific date to be announced
Composing photos in the desert landscape
It's about the location, learning composition and enjoying photography. Meals and lodging are provided making all of the things that normally interrupt our concentration just go away.
There's nothing like getting out of bed and walking out the door to shoot a desert sunrise!
Get out of bed early and do a little morning twilight or sunrise shots, or wait until you have a hot breakfast prepared by the the Zzyzx Chef! A cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate and a casual shoot by the lake- Then we're off to whatever looks good!
$265 per person
