Fall Colours in Colorado Photography Tour

Colorado Photography Tour - Colorado in Fall Landscape Photography
Over the ten days of our tour we will explore much of this region and will use three areas as our base whilst we do so. 

Beginning in the Aspen area there are too many locations we can visit to list them here. Maroon Bells is the most iconic, but there is so much more in this small area of Colorado. We will be exploring groves of trees around Independence Pass, Maroon Creek and Castle Creek road. All of these will give us opportunities to photograph aspens but also the bigger surrounding landscapes and mountains as well. This scenery can be photographed over beautiful alpine lakes with reflections of mountains and fall colours. With any luck the mountains will be white from the first snow of the season. 

Leaving Aspen we will spend a day heading over Mcclure Pass as we make our way towards our second accommodation in the Crested Butte region. From Crested Butte we will spend a couple of days of further exploration, concentrating mostly on the Kebbler Pass area. Kebbler pass is a high altitude gravel mountain pass around 35 miles long. The entire road offers epic views over incredible landscapes. From working on smaller intimate landscapes to some truly impressive large views, this road and region has it all. 

Colorado in Fall Photography Tour

Our final destination for the tour will be the San Juan Mountains from Telluride through to Ouray and Ridgeway. Once again there are just too many locations to list. We will explore Last Dollar road, Owl Creek Pass, Dallas Divide and many other county roads with hidden locations away from anyone else. 

The whole of this tour offers us variations in terms of altitude so it should always be possible to get up or down into the very best fall colours we can find. It is highly likely we will get snow at times which always offers a nice contrast to the varying shades of autumn. 

Photography will be the priority of the entire trip. We will aim to get back and eat in restaurants whenever possible. One or two of these locations will be relatively remote and will mean it won’t be possible to get back to a restaurant in time before they close for the evening. We will discuss this as a group and be prepared to eat alternatively. 

There will be some walking at altitude so each participant will need to be relatively fit although this will not be an overly strenuous tour. Full tour notes will be issued to each participant a couple of months before the tour commences.

Luxury Editions

Essentially, a Luxury Editions tour is an exclusive micro learning group with five star tuition and treatment in all aspects of the tour. Each year a small number of ‘Luxury Editions’ tours will run where the group numbers no more than four photographers per tutor. Here the learning approach is more intensive where the leader is able to offer constant ‘hands-on guidance’ allowing them an opportunity to work in depth with each individual photographer in addition to working with the group on a collective basis. In addition to this, the accommodation will be of a high standard and special extras will be included. These tours are only taught by our long standing leaders who have years of experience and are highly sought after. If you would like to join a Luxury Edition tour, then the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Off the Beaten Track

Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tours cater for those more adventurous photographers who would like to get off the beaten track and explore roads untrodden or delve into the culture of a place. Groups are small and you can be assured that although the tour leader will have an in-depth knowledge of the location, you may veer off track if an unplanned photography opportunity presents itself! The tuition is five star on these tours. The accommodation varies on these tours from mid range hotels, shared cabins on a ship to basic and clean camps. Our priority is to get you to the best locations in time for the best shot and if this means camping half way up a mountain then so be it! Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tutors will have experience and knowledge of the area, so you can be assured that you will be completely taken care off to allow you to concentrate on that award winning image. If you would like to join an ‘Off the Beaten Track’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. We do also ask that you have a good level of fitness as these tours could involve a large amount of walking. Check each tours description for requirements.

Classic

Our Classic tours are aimed at those who wish to discover unique locations, but at a more leisurely pace than the Off the Beaten Track tours. There will be ample time to immerse yourself in the location and spend time on your photography. Classic tours also focus on sunrise and sunset (which are optional for those who like to sleep in!) and have a slightly larger group size (max 8 per tutor) to allow the social side of photography to be appreciated. Tuition is five star and hotels are mid-high range depending on the tour. Every classic tour is different so do refer to the tour description for details of accommodation and locations visited. If you would like to join a ‘Classic’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

City Tours

Interested in architectural photography or street photography? Do you get a buzz from photographing city life? Then a city tour is for you. We have a range of tours catering to various styles of photography including People/Street, Intentional Camera Movement, Iphoneography or Architectural photography. Tours range in length from weekend breaks, ideal for those who don’t have may days holiday left, or longer tours to allow yourself to truly explore the city. Our tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the location and will take you to undiscovered spots to ensure you come away with a varied selection of images that you are proud of. If you would like to join a ‘City’ tour, the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

Easy - most locations are arrived at by vehicle, and most subjects and viewpoints are within easy reach. No particular level of fitness is required.

Moderate - these tours involve some walking, perhaps sometimes in towns, or on well developed trails. There may be a limited amount of uphill walking. Please advise if you have any fitness concerns.

Strenuous - these are tours which may include demanding levels of walking, including some prolonged or steep ascents and descents. Rough terrain (off the beaten track) may well be encountered. A reasonable level of fitness is required for these trips.
