Little River Canyon Fall Photography Trip
Please join us for a day of Fall Photography at the beautiful Little River Canyon. Our host for this event is Master Photographer John Dersham.
As described on his website, John’s Photography specializes in rural, large cities, small towns, and wilderness with a majority of his work in black and white. Today, his photographs can be enjoyed as fine art. “Black and white photography lends itself to portraying moods. It has always been important in my work to create an image that is as special as the scene itself,” added Dersham. “The primary elements that contribute to making a particular image stand apart from others are the contributing elements to the scene, such as a special angle of light, rain, fog, mist, big beautiful clouds, dark rich blue sky, snow, ice, and most importantly, a well thought out composition and good technical discipline.”HPS is excited to have John as host at a location near and dear to his heart. For nature photographers, this surely will be a day to enhance your outdoor photography skills and creativity.
