Pisgah Photography Experience

Our nature photography tours are designed for all people who are interested in improving as photographers.  Whether you are shooting in a digital format or with film we invite you to join our professional photographers into the field as you learn both the technical aspects (your camera) and subject composition of nature photography. 

In Nature Photography, the goal is to shoot with an esthetic quality in mind.  The main subjects are landscapes, wildlife, plants and other natural scenes.  For visitors, our half-day workshops in the wilderness areas surrounding Asheville offer the unique opportunity of sharing the experience of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains with like-minded individuals united with the common desire to capture the beauty and essence of an environment like no other.

Among the topics covered:

  • The relationship between aperture and shutter speed
    • lighting
    • stopping action
    • depth of field

  • Composition
  • Lens and filter selection
  • Image management
