We are bringing back another workshop from last year - our Hidden Gems of the Southwest! With so many people not being able to come last year due to conflicts with Thanksgiving, we hope you can make it this year: https://actionphototours.com/hidden-gems-southwest/ This workshop is designed for those who truly want to get off the beaten path and improve their photography skills. This shot was taken during our Nov 2018 workshop. With stormy skies, we figured the Grand Canyon would be the perfect place to setup for sunset. It's always so nice when Mother Nature delivers like this!

Hidden Gems of the Southwest

Waitlist - Nov 14-18, 2020

We had some really nice conditions in the morning after a furious windstorm the night before. These dunes are rarely visited so footprints aren't usually a concern. But the wind definitely help smooth out all the sand and created nice ripples to work with. I shot this with my 11mm lens since I wanted to capture a good amount of sky with the great clouds we had.

We sure had some great memories from our workshops this year! On this particular evening, the rain and wind created such mesmerizing textures and shapes in the clouds. It was simply icing on the cake when the sun poked through and illuminated this rainbow. I caught one of our workshop participants hurrying to setup a shot. I don't know about you, but I love having a human element in landscapes like this that look larger than life. We're already gearing up for lots more fun in 2020! Join us for an amazing photography adventure. Hurry since many are either sold out or close to full. Learn more here: https://actionphototours.com/utah-arizona-photo-workshops/

Beyond the Badlands - May

Waitlist - May 4-7, 2021

These rocks were named the 3 Sisters since they look like 3 young nuns standing together and receiving a lesson from an adult nun. This is always a fun place to shoot night skies - especially with some of the darkest skies in the lower 48!

Spring in the Grand Staircase

Waitlist - May 13-18, 2021

We have been having a blast on our Storm Chasing Workshops, especially with all the active monsoon activity over the past few days! Here is a shot from our chase last night. As sunset approached, a large rainbow appeared. But right as we started to photograph it, the rain began to fall in earnest. We quickly drove further away to escape the rain and got there just in time to catch the last of the giant rainbow. The wind was blowing and raindrops were quickly collecting on my lens. I hooked up my lightning trigger and this shot was captured right in-between when I was blowing off my lens! About 2 mins later, we were all running for cover as the rain started to pour down. Dramatic lightning shows continued all around us for several more hours. What a fun night we had!! 2021 Storm Chasing Dates will be announced soon to our email subscribers. We expect this to fill quickly, so make sure you join our newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/actionphototours/6xxbe3zqgj

Waitlist - July 30 - Aug 2 & Aug 7-10, 2021

This spot on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon was difficult to get out to, but the views were sure worth it as you could shoot in just about every direction! At sunset, several storms were moving through and it was tough to decide which one to concentrate on. This is a single shot image using my lightning trigger at 1/4sec shutter speed. The sound of the booming thunder all around me was an experience I won't soon forget. Within a few minutes of taking this shot, the rain began to fall in earnest. Even though I was completely soaked, I was grinning from ear to ear. What a magical evening. I'll have lots more to share from this night.

The North Slope of Alaska is one of the few places you can photograph musk oxen in the wild. This is the real deal - not like photographing them at the famous musk-oxen farm! I liked this shot since the oxen broke from their grazing pattern and turned in my direction at the same time. That doesn't happen very often!   We're offering a photo tour to the northern reaches of Alaska in Fall of 2016.
