August 1st & 2nd, 2012
ALERT!! This workshop is selling FAST…..only a few spaces left!
Join Fine Art Photographer and Outdoor Photographer Magazine contributor, Cheyenne L Rouse at stunning White Sands National Monument in S New Mexico for this special Photo Workshop. August of 2012 contains TWO full moons making one of them the “Blue Moon” – so come join us for this amazing scenic splendor that IS White Sands National Monument. Glistening milky white dunes made from gypsum - the ancient Tularosa Valley is a dramatic place to spend a few days in the Zen silence of White Sands with your camera.
The workshop starts with a meet and greet in the afternoon of Wednesday, August 1st, 2012 then we will make our way out into the sea of white dunes to our sunset/full moon rise location to shoot the magic as it occurs. The following morning we will meet early and head back into the dunes to shoot not only the sunrise but the moon set then again in the afternoon for the “official” full moon rise and sunset. The night BEFORE the “official” full moon (Aug 1st) is the best time to shoot since the sun sets and moon rises simultaneously making for MAGICAL photos and you will find that White Sands is nothing short of MAGICAL! I will make sure that you maximize your photographic opportunities in the field, my number one priority will be to assist and guide you to the perfect locations at the perfect times and to help you produce the finest images possible. I will be using my own camera in the field for instructional purposes and to lead by example.
If you are ready to take your digital photos to the next level, I am offering this workshop with the option of adding my “Turn your Photos into Fine Art” Photomatix HDR Class to it – this private class (1 person per class) is approximately 1 1/2 hours and will be held in the afternoon break on Thursday, August 2nd. For more information on this class please visit our HDR Class page.

Ever since talking to you in Tucson when you spoke at the Jewish center last year I’ve followed you on Facebook etc. and love your work. I too enjoy HDR photography and use both Photomatrix and NIK HDRpro software. I’d planned on visiting White Sands on my own this year but your workshop looks like just the ticket for me, what with getting passes to get in early and late at the monument.
Take a look if you’d like at my website http://desertdreamingphotography and follow the link to Images to SmugMug. You might enjoy the Landscape section and the Electric Paintings of the Southwest.
Please consider including me in your workshop Aug. 1st and 2nd of 2012, this year.
HI Tom – thank you…..I received your email – I will reply in more detail to you there……and I’d LOVE to include you in this workshop!
Hi Cheyenne, After my daughter and I took a private lesson from you last summer, I developed a real passon for HDR photography. I have seen your photos from the White Sands area and always wanted to go there. Please include me in the class you have scheduled this summer. My wife is not a photographer, but would like to come along. If there is a charge for her to attend, what would that be?
Thanks,
Domoore
HI Gary – yes, I had fun working with you and your daughter. She should come to
White Sands as well…it is amazing. I will email you regarding your request to have your wife come along. I look forward to seeing you.
Thanks – Cheyenne
