Professional Nature Photographer Kenneth Wajda To Offer Popular Half-Day Sunrise Nature/Wildlife Photo Shoots in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado

What makes Kenneth Wajda's program so special, is that this is an actual photo shoot, not a class. It takes place on location against the stunning 14'000' peaks of the Rockies near Westcliffe, Colorado. You work alongside a pro, looking through his camera while he looks through yours. A unique and inspirational photography experience.

Westcliffe, CO (PRWEB) June 15, 2004 -- Professional nature photographer Kenneth Wajda announced today that for the third year in a row he will be offering his popular half-day Sunrise Nature/Wildlife Photo Shoot on Saturday mornings in and around Westcliffe, Colorado.
    
Kenneth Wajda is an award-winning photojournalist, travel/nature photographer and author with over 20 years of professional experience. He was a staff photographer at the Trenton Times (NJ) newspaper and a frequent contributor to New Jersey Outdoors magazine before moving to Colorado in 2001
    
He now resides in Westcliffe, Colorado, where he works as a commercial freelance photographer and teaches travel and nature photography.
    
"This is an actual photo shoot, not a class," Wajda said. "Participants will be taking photographs in the field working right alongside me. I'll assist them, answer their questions and offer tips. I'll thoroughly explain how I approach my subject and why I work the way I do. They will also have the opportunity to look through my camera to see the framing I've chosen."
    
Past participants have said this is a unique photo shoot that is quite an eye-opener to the realities of professional nature photography.
    
"It will jump start any photographer's creativity," said Wajda, "especially photographers interested in wildflowers, mountains, lakes, streams and when we're lucky, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, elk and mule deer."
    
All photographers are required to bring a camera and film to the Sunrise Nature/Wildlife Photo Shoot. Any camera will work, film or digital-even a point and shoot-but Wajda recommends a 35mm SLR and a slow-speed slide film like Fuji Velvia or a 4MP+ Digital SLR. A tripod is strongly recommended as well.
    
Wajda also strongly suggests participants dress for the weather and bring raingear.
    
This is a unique opportunity to work with a professional photographer-to experience his approach to nature/wildlife photography first-hand.
    
"People really learn through this program," Wajda said. "A few weeks back, a woman asked if there's a special filter to make waterfalls have that 'flowing' look. I was able to work the shoot over toward a waterfall where she learned to make that kind of photograph," Wajda said. (It's done with a slow shutter speed.) "You don't get that from a book or in a classroom."
    
The cost for the morning photo shoot is $55 and limited to 8 participants/session. Interested photographers must call to reserve a space: 719-783-9283.
