Photo- and Art excursions into the California desert. 
For those who want to take better pictures and have more fun with their equipment.
I offer the experience of more than twenty years of frequenting the Death Valley region with intent to commit art. I have walked and scoured much of the Valley in search for aesthetic images with large, medium and small format cameras and with pencil and pad in hand. Tours are privately arranged and held to increments of three people because of off road and four wheel drive considerations.

You must provide your own gear, camera, at least a passenger car, camping equipment, food and drink. If you do not wish to camp there is usually opportunity to stay in motels along the way. I will instruct and discuss frequently during the course of the day.  We will explore many of the great spots in the right light at the right time of the day; and cover many aspects of photography and art; from the right cropping to the proper color temperature.
Instruction can be given in German and/or English
Tours cover typically 5 days in the desert and lead, depending on the usually somewhat temperamental winter weather through Death ValleyOwensValley and/or adjacent areas such as the Mojave Desert region.
If you drive you must be over 21, a good driver with a clean driving record, capable of autonomous action, have your own gear.
