We are happy to announce two Photo Workshops and two Geology Workshops for 2013!
2013 Field Seminar Programs
Nature Photography in Lassen Volcanic National Park
Instructor: Terry Nathan
Course Dates: July 19-20th
September 6-7th
Photography is among the most accessible art forms but among the most difficult to master. In this two-day photography workshop, we will use Lassen Volcanic National Park’s stunning landscape, rich history, and diversity of ecosystems to improve our skills making photographs. By combining in-class and hands-on photography experiences in the park, we will learn about compositional principles that will enable us to make more compelling photographs spanning a wide range of natural subjects. These subjects will include the park’s wildflowers, geologic features, and grand mountain views. The workshop will consist of a two-hour in class presentation on the principles of lighting and composition, a five-hour hands-on field excursion, two optional sessions, and a post photo-shoot critique session.
* Cost: $150. (Recieve a discount if you are a Lassen Association Member that brings the cost down to only $135)
* For more information or to register, please contact Melanie Allen by phone at (530) 378-1495, or e-mail at lassenassociation@yahoo.com or go to the "Items" tab and choose the workshop of your choice.
* You can also inquire about the program at the Loomis Museum or Kohm Yah-mah-nee bookstore
"The War Between the Rocks" Instructor: Jeff Dunn, Ph. D Course Dates: July 26-27th August 16-17th Lassen National Park is beautiful to see, during the split second of geologic time people walk on its seemingly quiet surface. But underground, a "battle zone" has existed for millions of years between two kinds of rocks -those that provide continents for us to live on, and those that undermine our homeland from beneath the seas. Employing analogies of warfare, this workshop will bring alive the interactions of two "armies" of transform- ational minerals that, along with a special "spy" working for both sides, have built landmarks of national significance. The workshop begins with a two-hour, in-class examination of the nature fo the "armies," the "spy," and how they interact. The next day, we go out in person ot the various parts of the the "battlefield" we can examine in detail to check out mineral bodies adn their resulting landforms. * Cost: $85. (Recieve a discount if you are a Lassen Association Member that brings the cost down to only $76.50) * For more information or to register, please contact Melanie Allen by phone at (530) 378-1495, or e-mail at lassenassociation@yahoo.com or go to the "Items" tab and choose the workshop of your choice. * You can also inquire about the program at the Loomis Museum or Kohm Yah-mah-nee bookstore
