Please join me at Caddo Lake where you will add some fantastic images to your portfolio. But you will also experience....

  • Peace and solitude on the water
  • You will have more fun than your favorite Disney ride as we take a swamp boat to remote locations.
  • Some unexpected entertainment
  • Camaraderie
  • Housing at the lake. No early morning drives from Shreveport or Marshall.
  • Down home soul food
  • Instruction on the unique settings for swamp photography and shooting wildlife photography from a boat.
  • Some of your favorite captures ever!

My job will to be sure you have the most successful, fun trip with great photography results. My job is not to take lots of pictures for myself but to help you get your shots. My job is to get you to productive locations at the right time. Part of that is by using guides who operate boats made just for these waters. Part is also getting you to locations where we will launch two person canoes or single person kayaks that you will paddle...don't worry, it is easy. 

Here are some other things to expect:

We will work on improving your style so it is gallery level. Okay, if it's already there, we will use it as an example for other participants.

We will pay particular attention to creating depth to your images.

We will demonstrate post processing techniques that are especially useful for swamp photography. 

We will review some of your favorite captures to make sure you are successful. If your images are out of focus, we will fix the problem on the first day, not the last day! Many of the techniques you will use are different from landscape photography.

This workshop offers more bang for your buck and likely more fun than any other workshop at Caddo Lake. 

To discover more about what to expect, be sure to look at some of the images below (in my style, not necessarily yours). 

WARM SUNRISES & SUNSETS

Caddo Lake Sunset

While overcast presents us with nice soft colors, we will also search out sunrises and sunsets, especially when out on the boat trips. We will find many more intimate scenes along the bayou and tucked away sloughs.

Nov 7-Nov 12

YOU WON'T STOP SEEING THINGS! THE SWAMP WILL LOOK BACK AT YOU!

Sit quietly along the bayou and capture the autumn mood of the swamp,

Without colored leaves, there are still fantastic compositions as the barren trees seemingly interact with one another.

Spanish moss hangs from just about every tree. There will be opportunities to make the moss the center of attention.

Wildlife is abundant, but you are unlikely to see any gators at this time of year. We will cover photography and post processing techniques to get the most out of your wildlife images.

Your eye will get tuned into the denizens of the swamp where you can capture their many poses.

We will cover how to find compositions that create stories.

Canoeing or kayaking gives us great opportunities to be stealth photographers.

Fog may occur when the water temperature is considerably above the air temperature. No matter the conditions, there are great opportunities.

You will learn much of the history of the Caddo Lake area. The history alone makes this a very interesting and worthwhile trip.

We will get to remote locations few others can access. There you will discover original compositions and maybe catch sight of Bigfoot!

Finding "animated" compositions will be part of our goal.
