This class is designed to be physically not demanding with the largest distance covered being about 3 miles roundtrip. Most of the locations are off trails and aside from the sand dunes will be flat. For the one section climbing up from Arroyo Hondo I am happy to carry your photography gear.

If you are a beginner photographer I might suggest spending some time on understanding the fundamentals of the exposure triangle, and how to photograph in RAW mode, to be able to maximize your understanding of the techniques I will be teaching. If you want a private session before the workshop, please let me know and we can work something out. Your skills matter less than your desire to learn. With a class size of 7 people, there will be plenty of time for hands-on 1 on 1 instruction.

San Luis Obispo has lots of great options for all budgets. Some of our favorites are Hotel Cerro and Granada located downtown but close to my home there is also Marriott or Hampton Inns along with lots of AirBnb's. My home address is 411 Woodbridge Street, San Luis Obipso, CA 93401 so you can see what is close.

Each morning you will need to get to my home in San Luis Obispo either via Uber / Lyft or with your own vehicle. I will be able to drop you at your hotel if it is in San Luis Obispo or return you to my house and your car.

For the group dinners including the breakfast at the house, your spouse is invited. For the group dinners it would be a supplement of $75 that you can pay at the time. There is no charge for breakfast on Sunday.

Once you pay, there is no refund, but I don't keep any of your money. It just gets credited towards a future workshop if you should cancel. If you need to work something else out, please just email me [email protected] and I will be happy to help.
