OK, now that Marc has kindly stepped into this, it is a good time to get an idea of who would be interested in attending such a workshop.
Dont for one second think this will be cheap, depending on the number of days, number of instructors, location costs etc etc.... these workshops rarely come in much under $1000usd and I have seen them up around $3000usd. So we would need Marcs guidance and input on costs.
But before 'we' get to fixated on cost just consider this:
What is it worth to you to spend several days in some of the worlds greatest natural wonders shooting under the guidance of someone of Marc Langille's experience, expertise and talent??? Marc is experienced in most makes of camera, but particularly Pentax, so no " oh I cant help you, I dont know Pentax ". Instead you will have someone who knows and uses the product very successfully.....any doubts?, check out his website links at the bottom of his posts.
Are there 10 forum members who would like to participate? (subject to timing & details). (and it need not necessarily be limited to forum members).
I am interested, and would offer this to any other Australians who may want get involved: I would be happy to share hire car costs in the US. If you havent been to the US and visited any of these National Parks...then mate....you aint living.
Airfares are currently very cheap to the US and accommodation is a quite reasonable in the parks. If we ended up doing this in say Grand Canyon / Zion / Bryce Canyon then we would fly from LA to Las Vegas and drive from there, if it was Yosemite then we would fly to San Francisco.
I have been to all of these places and while they are good to see as a tourist, what this offers is to get away from the crowds and see something unique and different, and operating on your own as "Teddy the Tourist", that is nigh impossible. And thats priceless...well almost
If partners / spouses wanted to come along but not participate in the workshops that should not be a problem.
Anyone?
Cheers
Grant
