We always like to end DLWS with a grand finale of a shoot and boy did we produce with this one! Moose’s son Jake found our last shooting location at an antique car junk yard. He even found a couple of great models for the students to photograph, working on improving their flash skills that Joe has been teaching this week. Moose & Kevin worked another model with the group and I worked with students who were photographing the classic cars themselves.
I honestly can’t remember being this tired after the week with long, yet, very satisfying days. The students and my DLWS family insprie me and keep me going and I think my images from the last night sum up my week.
Anything is possible when you reach for the skies and let your dreams take flight.
The front of this Chevy makes me smile…don’t forget to KEEP SMILING!

It’s always fun to get the opportunity to revisit a location and find new subjects. That’s just what we did. We headed back to last night’s location. Working with students at the boxcars I challenged myself to come up with three very different images of the same subject…
Using a variety of focal lengths, angles and creative Photoshop techniques to finish the images gave me three distinctively different images of the same subject. It was fun working it and coming up with the results I did.

We took the group to an amazing location this evening where the big decision was whether to start with the train yard or the ghost town. Since I spent time in the train yard last visit I decided to work the ghost town this time…

The photo gods smiled upon us this morning with one of the nicest sunrises I have seen in a long time bathing the Bridgers in a warm glow… Needless to say, the shutters were clicking madly as the light just kept getting better and better.

This afternoon found us at the stockyard in Bozeman which is a very cool place to shoot. There were all these really great weathered buildings and the stockyard itself. The Stockyard Calfe caught my attention. With the colors, the weathered and kind of derelict look to the building I knew exactly what I was goin to do in the digital darkroom…
