    Instructors: Mike Murray, Cassius Callender, Dave Miess


    There are few places in North America that are as iconic as the Badlands of South Dakota. From the multi-colored spires and cliffs to the wildlife, grasslands, and some of the darkest skies anywhere - the Badlands have it all. It's a photographer's dream.


    We will explore iconic locations within the park with this photo workshop, as well as some lesser-known spots. In addition, the Badlands Workshop will take advantage of the park's dark skies to do some night sky photography (depending on weather conditions).
