HAZ Fall Photo Workshop

JoelHazelton · Post by **JoelHazelton** » Aug 17 2010 11:14 pm

EDIT 9-13-10: After hiking Kachina Trail with Jake yesterday, we determined the original planned photographing spot isn't very good in the evening... Nearby ridges block the best of the evening light. So, the new, tentative plan is Hart Prairie Saturday evening. After shooting through sunset there, we'll hop on fr522 off Snowbowl road and find a place to car camp near Freidlen Prairie. Sunday morning we'll wake up bright and early (more like dark and early) and hike no more than 2 miles on the Kachina Trail to find some aspens and meadows. Plans still subject to change, of course, as we do more scouting.

Hey HAZ photographers!

Jake (hippiepunkpirate), Jon (jonnybackpack) and I are putting together an autumn photography workshop/group hike/camping trip at the Peaks, October 9th and 10th.

The plan, as of now, is to meet up late morning on Saturday, October 9th, and drive to the Freidlein Prairie trailhead. Hike the lower portion of the Kachina Trail and photograph the beautiful Kachina meadows in the evening. Car-camp somewhere nearby Saturday night, wake up pre-sunrise Sunday morning and head to Lockett Meadow. Photograph the Lockett Meadow area for sunrise, then head into the Inner Basin to capture the rest of the morning light.

Although this is obviously organized like a normal group hike, the focus will be on photography. Bring a camera and tripod! We'll be visiting prime locations during the best light, so there should be plenty of opportunity for some awesome photos... Not to mention the sharing of knowledge from fellow photographers ;)

I hope some of you are interested!

Sorry I'm on late...that will be fine! Angela PM'd me phone numbers just in case. I'm about to send out PMs with my cell #, hopefully everyone will check the site tonight or in the morning.

Paul, totally PM me! It's amazing how much you can learn just from internet articles (and of course actual people on websites like this one). I'm excited for you!

This event was totally awesome

. The young guns :thanx: did a great job in finding a great photo shoot that included snow on the mountain and fall foliage.

And to top it off, we had a great campsite for the evening festivities. Chumley made a killer fire (including chain sawing the aspen wood), birthday boy Jonny and his crew made an awesome chili and everyone else filled in whatever might be needed. And I don't care what they say Janelle, the box was fine for me ;) .

It was great fun all the way around and everyone had a pumpkin good time. We had people of all different ages and of all different photography levels. We shared all kinds of stories but mostly enjoyed our commonalities with HAZ and I think we all now know how to pronounce "bartels".

I look forward to the next event; you won't want to miss it!

Great to meet everyone; I'll be able to say I met the young Ansel Adams' in the making---- non stop laughs around the campfire, music and plenty of libations. Sorry I ducked out on the Sun hike but I answered some questions I had near Burro Creek.
Hope to get to one of these again soon.

Since we got Joe's name cleared up, here's the other mystery of the weekend...

Letty, it was great to meet you. Your photos from Hart Prairie are spectacular!

What a great weekend! The shots so far are amazing...wow! That was such a great mix of people, couldn't have asked for more. I feel VERY virile after this trip, there will certainly be more of these in the future.

And remember what happens in Hart Prairie stays in Hart Prairie

Looks like you all had a great time out there ... I was for sure there with you all in spirit as I baked

in 90+ heat in a rock bowl on Courthouse Rock ( my prior commitment

) Thought of your "cool" trip kept me occupied....I am looking forward to seeing the images produced on this workshop. There is always so much to learn!!!!

What a great weekend that was! I'm glad I came up to hike and hang out with you all. Very festive indeed!!

I've done a lot of partying around the campfire this year, but this one was tops. Thanks guys for putting this together!

hippiepunkpirate · Post by **hippiepunkpirate** » Oct 12 2010 12:29 pm

Thanks everyone for coming out! It was a new experience for Joel, Jon and I to do this sort of thing, and I'm glad that everyone had a good time. The company was great, the food was great, the photography was great. Definitely turned out to be one of the highlights of my year! Somehow got my triplogs done, now I just have to get through editing all those photos....

Great photo sets from everybody! Amazing. I'm sorry I missed it. I hope the J3 Gang does this again, I'll be sure and make it!

Because there was fun going on: Here's a couple of videos I shot. I apologize in advance for the motion-sickness you are sure to experience while viewing these.

And I'm also sorry that I didn't have the effort to edit these in any way. No titles, soundtracks, fades, etc. Just raw video. But they are in HD if you choose that option...
