Happy Birthday, Nikon! In this day and age, it’s truly amazing a technology company has been around and moving forward for 100 years! They had to survive WWII and so much more to give us, whether you love or hate, the tools we can capture our amazing world and share it with others in our photographs. Thank you for that!

And when I first looked through a Nikon, if you told me I would be where I am today, I would have said no way. I was seven years old when my cousin came to our house with his Nikon F and 200f4, put them in my hands and I looked at the Union 76 Ball in the sky across the valley. I was hooked on photography and Nikon ever since. My got first Nikon was in 1978, a 1972 F2Phot with a 55f3.5 Micro. It was a matter of months I had the F3 and then F3T in my hands and there was no looking back. My first telephoto lens and long favorite was the 400f5.6 EDIF. The first “wildlife” photo I ever took with that combo is above and I’ve been in love with it ever since. It’s that passion that the brand has always nurtured in my photography back then and still today is why I’m so thankful and grateful to be one of their Ambassadors. So on this well and hard earned day, I thank Nikon for all the memories I have and will capture with their tools. Happy Birthday!

11-13 August 2017 at the historic Duxford Aerodrome, UK is going to be the most exciting photographic workshop we’ve ever presented, ever! Hosted by Historic Aircraft Collection, we will explore, imagine and immerse ourselves in the photography of WWII history!
It all starts Friday evening the 11th with a presentation on basics to advanced techniques in photography and photographing aircraft. We have a block of rooms right off the Duxford Aerodrome so it’s convenient and close. We then start bright and early Saturday morning the 12th (before sunrise) on the field photographing some amazing aircraft: Spitfire, Hawker & Hurricane! We’ll then move into the digital darkroom to explore ways we can finish our static images.

After all that, you’ll be served a great traditional English lunch and eat where the pilots ate during WWII Battle of Britain. Then we’ll really get busy with more classroom instruction, reenactor portraits and then planes turning props with ground-to-air and backfire at dusk photography. Saturday night we will gather again to continue on with the education, enlightenment, and comradery that photography creates.
Sunday the 13th we’re up with the sun and on the Duxford Aerodrome for more photography of aircraft and reenactors. And this is not just for still photographers! Brent will be there teaching the art and craft of video, shooting and post so the visual storytelling is open to all! We’ll conclude all of this fun around noon on Sunday, but you are more than welcome to spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying and photographing all the activities. Phew if that wasn’t enough there is more, but we’ve gotta keep a couple surprises … surprises. Twenty folks will receive all this instruction and photographic opportunities, the special Challenge Coin, lunch and much more during the weekend.
We have just four spots left open of the 20 slots! The price for all that’s listed above is $1495 (lodging and an air-to-air is not included in this price). There is no online registration, you need to either email Sharon (to register and pay) or give her a call at 661.204.1506. Once you have paid your registration you will receive lodging and other details (this info will not be provided without registration). Also upon registration, you will be sent PDFs of information about gear, aviation photography concepts, and techniques. We have never offered a workshop quite like this, we are incredibly excited and look forward to sharing it all with you!!!
