<\/p>\n

During late October and early November, I spent seven\u00a0days in Yosemite Valley working with private students. \u00a0We explored many of my favorite locations along the Merced River and in the many meadows around the Valley.<\/p>\n

During these sessions, I worked closely with each student on refining their compositions, handling various lighting conditions and dealing with any technical issues that arose. \u00a0One of my main focuses while teaching is helping with aesthetic decisions to better enable them to express their own personal response and vision of the landscape before them. \u00a0When working one to one and side by side, I can show you my own decision-making process as I create new images. I also worked with those students interested in how I create my Impressions of Light<\/a> images.<\/p>\n

if you are interested in learning from me, see my Yosemite Private Workshops<\/a><\/strong>! \u00a0To see photographs by those who have attended my sessions, visit my Flickr group page which includes images from all seasons!<\/p>\n

Below is a small portfolio from our sessions. Please let me know your thoughts in the comment section below, tell your favorite photographs, and share with friends.<\/p>\n

To all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving Day, Happy Thanksgiving! \u00a0 I am so thankful for the love of my friends and family, and the profound beauty I see in the world around me everyday. \u00a0I am also thankful for the gift of being able to share my photographs with others for the past 30 years. \u00a0Thank you for following!<\/p>\n

Ride the Light, \u00a0Bill<\/p>\n
