This photo safari with Mark Rayner will be an incredible experience for those interested in photographing some of the most beautiful landscape scenery in the world.


We will be following in the footsteps of Ansel Adams one of the most famous photographers in the world and learning from his techniques and vision.


Highlights include:

Photographing Death Valley, the lowest point in the U.S. Extraordinary colours, beautiful rock formations, dramatic cliffs, spectacular badlands vistas, high rugged peaks, soft textured sand dunes and contrasting salt flats.


Mammoth Mountain and river valley surrounds including several beautiful mountain lakes and dramatic canyons contrasting with the vibrant, spectacular fall (Autumn) colours.

Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the United States (outside Alaska) and the surrounding Alabama Hills, a scenic treasure and magnet for landscape photographers.


Mono Lake, formed 760,000 years ago and home to millions of migrating birds, Mono Lake is a unique sight to see and photograph, producing different hues and colors at sunrise and sunset.


Bodie, the largest preserved (un-restored) ghost town of the west, dating back to 1877. We have special permission to photograph inside some of the old buildings. For those interested in the old west, it is fascinating wandering around the deserted, dusty streets with a wide-angle lens and soaking in the spirit of this historic wild-west town.

Tioga Pass, the highest pass in California and without doubt the most spectacular  with waterfalls, rivers, wildflowers, towering mountains and wildlife. We have allowed a full day to photograph the highlights of Tioga Pass, which ends in our highlight destination, Yosemite National Park and the place Ansel Adams spent 68 years of his life photographing. http://www.anseladams.com/ansel-adams-information/ansel-adams-biography/

Yosemite is a simply unforgettable experience – you experience nature at its finest. We will spend four days photographing the glacier carved valleys and mountains from many different angles - sunrise and sunset and at night under the full moon!

This trip has been planned to take in the beauty of the fall colours , just when the first snows of winter are arriving.

San Francisco – Next we're off to San Francisco where we spend two days to photograph the Golden Gate Bridge, the redwood trees and the wild windswept coastal scenery.
The more adventurous will have the opportunity to take a helicopter flight which actually flies under the Golden Gate Bridge.
Departing San Francisco we head south and take in the Big Sur. Fabulous coastal scenery with an abundance of wildlife and sea-birds will make this a fitting finale to our grand adventure.

We will be staying in comfortable accommodation including mountain cabins and travelling in our own private bus with ample time factored in to upload photos and learn from the review sessions with your professional photographer guide, Mark Rayner.This workshop is suitable for the beginner to advanced photographer.  Partners are welcome. Small group size (maximum 7 photographers) will ensure you have access to one-on-one tuition and guidance.

If photographing glacier carved valleys, crystal clear lakes, waterfalls, mountain wildflowers, authentic old west towns, one of the most unusual geological regions on the planet, Yosemite, vibrant fall colours with the backdrop of 14,000 foot mountains, abundant wildlife and birdlife interests you, then this is an experience you should be part of.  Please join us.
