SANTA BARBARA AND THE SANTA YNEZ VALLEY

This two-day photography adventure winds photographers down the historic streets of Santa Barbara and into the Santa Ynez Valley. Photographic opportunities abound at the Santa Barbara Mission, the picturesque Santa Barbara County Courthouse, the El Presidio de Santa Barbara, and in the bucolic Santa Ynez Valley-famous for its wineries, symmetrical rows of grapes, and stunning mountainscape. The Spanish Mission architecture at one of California's oldest Spanish missions, La Purisima Mission, offers a wide-range of creative photographic possibilities.

OREGON - THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE AND THE PAINTED HILLS
AUGUST 29 - SEPTEMBER 2, 2012
Under the light of a full Blue Moon, Keith Skelton will lead the third annual photo workshop in his home state of Oregon. Late summer is arguably the best time of year in Oregon with chances of rain being minimal. Photo shooting locations include: the Palouse-like rolling wheat fields of north central Oregon; the rows of fruit orchards with backdrops of alpine views in Hood River Valley; the picturesque Painted Hills at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument; and the stunning Columbia River Gorge waterfalls.

ANTELOPE SLOT CANYON, MONUMENT VALLEY & NATURAL BRIDGES
SEPTEMBER 26-30, 2012
Join Keith Skelton on this five-day photo workshop that explores the majestic free-standing sandstone rock formations that rise 1,000 feet from the desert floor at the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. We will be photographing sculptured slot canyons; Horseshoe Bend; the unique Natural Bridges National Monument; the Anasazi Ruins "House on Fire"; and the Valley of the Gods. This once-in-a-lifetime place to see and photograph should be on everyone's "Bucket List."
