Triple D wildlife Winter Workshop Feb 6-10, 2020

Escape to Nature Photography Workshops is proud to offer our February 2019 winter wildlife workshop at the Triple D Ranch, Montana. The group will meet at 7PM at the Triple D Ranch classroom for instruction. We will cover camera setting for the morning shoot and ansewer all questions.

We will photography large mammals in natural snowy habitats. Their will be (6) six location shoots giving a wonderful opportunity to capture these magnicifant animals.

No need to have big lens, most images can be captured with a 70-200mm telephoto. Typical lens selection that I carry are, 70-200 f/2.8, 80-400, 200-500, 24-70, for up close and personal shots that look like you were in the wild.

Kalispell Montana is beautiful this time of year. The event is just west of Glacier National Park and our location shoots should have snow at that time of year. Don't worry, Kalispell and the surrounding area's are great at snow removal and Triple D Ranch has safely completed these type of events for many years.

The event runs from February 6 ( we will meet in that evening ) to the 10th. For weather, we allow 4 full days of shooting to get in our six location shoots. Their will be the opportunity to add additional shoots for a additional cost by Triple D. Escape to Nature does not add additional fees to work with you at add on events. We are there with you until the workshop is complete.
