 <title>Birds of Prey Workshop Added - February 25, 2012</title>
 <link>http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/nucleus/news.php?itemid=158</link>
<description><![CDATA[Put it on your calendars, we are heading back for another Birds of Prey Workshop, February 25, 2012.  Our group had so much fun, we just had to go back for another round! <br />
<br />
Join us for a unique opportunity to photograph birds of prey such as Bald Eagle, Great Horned Owl, Swallow-tailed Kite, Barred Owl, Short-tailed Hawk, Barn Owl, American Kestrel, Eastern Screech-owl, Red-shouldered Hawk, and Merlin as well as falconry birds such as the Peregrine Falcon and Harris' Hawk.  And, if weather allows, the Harris' Hawk and Peregrine Falcon will be free flown by the falconer!  Falconry tools such as jesses, gloves, and hoods will also be available to photograph.<br />
<br />
You will have two photography sessions with the birds, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, placing the birds in several different realistic situations with natural backgrounds. The hands-on, in-field instruction will allow you to transform your animal portraiture skills for not just birds, but all manner of widlife.  A mid-day classroom session is also included. <br />

 <title>&quot;Total Exposure&quot; Groupon, Round 2!</title>
 <link>http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/nucleus/news.php?itemid=153</link>
<description><![CDATA[This past December we launched our first "Total Exposure" courses, and the response was phenomenal! Although the initial round of feedback from our participants was very positive overall, we did receive some great ideas to make these classes even better. Some folks wanted a more advanced class, some wanted just time in the field, and some were just plain happy with the original class and wouldn't change a thing. So we have added a few new flavors to the original line up, and now have three different courses for you to pick from, "Fundamentals", "Advanced", and "In the Field".<br />
<br />
We are offering these classes again through Groupon for the price of $59 each (regularly $199), starting tomorrow, April 8, 2011, and running through April 9, 2011. Limit 3 Groupons per person, just enough to get you to all three classes! We have a added a bunch of dates through June, you can check out the complete details and schedule on our site at: <a href="http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/zen-cart/total-exposure-crash-course">http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/zen-cart/total-exposure-crash-course</a><br />
<br />
So sign on to Groupon bright and early and get your "Total Exposure" groupons!<br />
<br />
To get the deal you must purchase your class through Groupon at the link below from April 8 through April 9, 2011. This deal will only be available for 48 hours, so jump on it while it lasts.

<description><![CDATA[Whether you just got a new camera for Christmas, or want to learn a little more about nature photography, and how to get great shots, we have the perfect opportunity! <br />
 <br />
<div class="rightbox"><a href="http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/zen-cart/total-exposure-crash-course"><img src="http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/zen-cart/images/opw_events-total-exposure-crash-course.jpg" /></a></div>OPW has put together a brand new introductory course; <a href="http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/zen-cart/total-exposure-crash-course"><b>"Total Exposure - The Ultimate Nature Photography Crash Course"</b></a>.  This is a half day "crash course" covering techniques we know will help you immediately improve your nature photography, and help you get the shots you want.  We pair up an in depth classroom session with a in-field photography excursion, giving you a one of a kind introduction to nature photography!  Classes will be held in St. Pete, Florida, and we have a variety of dates from January through May available.<br />
 <br />
But, the really cool part is that <b>on Dec. 28th this class will be featured on </b><a href="http://www.groupon.com"><b>Groupon.com</b></a>, a great site to get deals on local events, dining, and other "cool things to do" in your area.

 <title>New T-Shirt Design!</title>
 <link>http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/nucleus/news.php?itemid=145</link>
<description><![CDATA[<div class="leftbox"><a href="http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/zen-cart/opw-wear/id-rather-be-checking-my-histogram-t--shirt"><img src="http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/zen-cart/bmz_cache/8/8470e0bffde87a28f1333b22609e995e.image.276x250.jpg" width=300 /></a></div>Just in time for the holidays we have added a brand new shirt design.  So, maybe only your fellow photographers will get this shirt, but honestly, what's more attractive than a curvaceous histogram.  Okay, a lot of things, but still, wouldn't you really rather be out behind your camera than doing whatever you're doing now?  Well, I guess there are some exceptions to that too...  <br />
<br />
Alright, let's start over, from the top.  Funny shirt, photographers will love it, buy a shirt, show off your love off all things photography, flaunt your perfectly shaped histogram.  <br />
<br />
Not sure what a histogram is or why you need to check it, then join us on one of our workshops and we'll get you up to speed!<br />
<br />
Perfect for in the field, or as a gift for your favorite photographer!  100% Preshrunk Cotton.<br />

First though, we have to thank our hosts, <a href="http://redoubtlodge.com/">Redoubt Mountain Lodge</a>, for their hospitality.  They went above and beyond anything we could have expected, providing great guides, food, and accommodations in one of the most beautiful settings I have ever been to.  We are definitely looking forward to next year!<br />
<br />
We will be posting many images in the next month from us and our workshop participants, so be sure to stop by our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/OutdoorPhotoWorkshops">Facebook page</a> to check them out!  We have also started taking registrations for our 2011 workshop, August 3-8, 2011, and offering an "Early Bird" Discount to anyone who signs up before October 1st.  So if you missed out on this year's adventure, be sure to sign up for a one of a kind experience photographing the legendary Alaskan Brown Bear at the height of the salmon spawning season. No platforms, no crowds, just our small group and the bears!  Our workshop will again be hosted by Redoubt Mountain Lodge, an exclusive retreat tucked deep into the heart of Lake Clark National Park that provides unparalleled access to the Alaskan wilderness and its wildlife.<br />
