Great Sand Dunes Photo Adventure with Mike's Camera

Join Mike's Camera and Olympus for a camping excursion to capture this exotic location full of photographic potential. Learn new techniques, borrow Olympus cameras and lenses, and be inspired as you wander through this otherworldly landscape. Capture the Milky Way at its brightest (clear Colorado skies permitting), find tiny details in the vastness, and seek out life in the barrenness of Great Sand Dunes National Park. 

‍

Overview:

Tucked away on the edge of the San Luis Valley, behind the majestic Sangre de Cristo Range, lies one of the most unique landscapes inColorado: The Great Sand Dunes. The tallest dunes in North America rise from a diverse array of biomes, creating unmatched surreal views. Tundra, forests, wetlands, and grasslands are an arm's reach from these sandy peaks that would look more at home on Mars than our lush home planet.

‍

What you’ll learn:

Instructors from Olympus will lead multiple workshops and photo excursions each day. Topics will cover Landscape, Macro, Astrophotography, and more - each offering unique twists from their own photographic styles. Hike with Olympus to hidden gems, then sit around the campfire (burn ban allowing) and get your questions answered in one on one and group settings.

A detailed itinerary will be available prior to the event. This event is co-hosted by Olympus, but users of all camera brands are welcome!
