Big Cottonwood Canyon

The Rivers and Shutters Photography Workshop meets at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. This workshop is held in warm summer months, because we get in the river. This is a perfect location to work on motion. You'll enjoy the beautiful scenery as you learn how to control motion in in your photographs using your shutter speeds.

All of our Workshops are small in size

Our workshops were designed for small groups, usually no more than 8 persons. With smaller groups there is much less pressure, more laid back, easier to ask questions and fun. Smaller groups allow for a more intimate setting and more one on one attention.

We work thru very separate exercises, ISO, Shutter, and Aperture settings. You're using your camera, you're pressing the buttons on your camera and your capturing photos with your camera. By using your camera you start to learn menus, what some of the buttons do and most important how ISO, Shutter and Aperture affect your photos. It's all about YOU!

What Camera Gear is Needed?

During the Shutter Speed workshop, your camera and a tripod are the only things you need. If you photograph kids sports, dogs or young kids, this is the workshop for you.
