Central Oregon Coast Photo Tour

Thor's Well, Oregon

There are several reasons why the Oregon Coast is one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon, and we explore them all on this incredible, all-inclusive photography tour. We photograph dramatic seascapes, gorgeous vistas, beautiful beaches, stunning sea stacks, colorful tide pools, historic lighthouses, breathtaking sunsets, and some fantastic waterfalls, too. 

With only 6 spots available, you will improve your photo skills with personalized, professional photography instruction, and enhance your digital workflow and editing skills with one-on-one post processing instruction. You will use various exposure techniques and filters and learn ways to improve your compositions. You will also do some focus stacking, Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), HDR processing, and image reviews, as well. Aside from the technical stuff, you will rest well in award-winning hotels, enjoy delicious gourmet cuisine, travel comfortably in private transportation, and have a ton of fun!

Photographers of all skill levels are welcome. The only requirement is a basic understanding of your DSLR, SLR, or mirrorless camera.

Physical Requirements
Participation requires that travelers be able to walk unassisted for two miles over uneven, potentially muddy and slippery trails, and up-and-down inclines with moderate altitude gain. There are hikes over a variety of terrain including pavement, gravel, and dirt trails with large roots, rocks, and stairs and daily excursions can be more difficult during inclement weather.
