The Palouse is the richest wheat growing area in the U.S. due to location, rainfall and rich soil.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Palouse country presents endless photographic opportunities. Bountiful, lush patterned-filled green hillsides are everywhere. Numerous old barns and classic scenes of rural America make up the landscape. This is not only one of the most beautiful areas in the world \u2026 it\u2019s a photographer\u2019s paradise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>June is the perfect month to be there as the rolling hills are deep green. The cloud patterns found in the springtime make it even better! From countless locations, you can literally look in every direction and see what may be described as a watercolor painting of different shades of green. The patterns of the hills, the old barns, fences and scenes of some of the small towns that dot the roadside serves as subject matter for our workshop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We will be based in Colfax, Washington. This is a central location with easy access to the surrounding region. (See lodging and travel information below).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We will drive through towns like Colfax, Garfield, Teoka, Dusty, and Steptoe and of course Palouse itself and view the landscape from Steptoe Butte and Kamiak Butte.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I can guarantee that this workshop will be informative and will produce many great images.

There\u2019s nothing like the Oregon Coast!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We will begin our photography experience in Ecola State Park, where old growth rain forests abound. Views of the ocean and Tillamook Lighthouse make this area a must. From there we head down the coast to Cannon Beach, known for Haystack Rock and fabulous sunsets.

(See below)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During the fall in North Eastern Ohio, the hardwoods offer a display of color that rivals New England. Additionally, this is the ONLY photography workshop I know of that features an entire day in the Amish country, with full access to an Amish farm. We\u2019ll be exploring the barns and fields of an Amish family, not from the roadside, but on the property of a wonderful Amish family, who have become good friends of Jack\u2019s over the years. (The meal at the end of the day isn\u2019t bad either!)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Because of its location, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park may not be as popular as the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone or Grand Tetons. However, the CVNP and adjacent locations offers some of the greatest fall color anywhere. We\u2019ll be working on many aspects of photography in these locations as well as some hidden gems in the area during our time in the field.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Screen-Shot-2014-07-09-at-5.43.45-PM.png\" rel=\"lightbox[12814]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Screen Shot 2014-07-09 at 5.43.45 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Screen-Shot-2014-07-09-at-5.43.45-PM-580x435.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Vinny Colucci Workshop<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>The South West Tour <\/strong><strong>\u00a0(Bryce Canyon N.P. , Zion N.P.,<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong> Lower Antelope Slot Canyon and The Paria Wilderness area)<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>November 4-8, 2015<\/p>\n<p>Starts and ends in Page, AZ<\/p>\n<p>Price:\u00a0 $995.\u00a0\u00a0 Limited to 12<\/p>\n<p>Instructors:\u00a0 Vinny Colucci &amp; Bill Fortney<\/p>\n<h3>To Register or for Info Contact Vinny Colucci at:<\/h3>\n<h3>www.escapetonaturephotography<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Or call (252)-349-1121<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A magical tour of the Golden Circle with two veteran Landscape artists!\u00a0 The Tour will start in Page Arizona, with a shoot at Horse Shoe Bend, and then a trip into Lower Antelope Slot Canyon, on to Bryce Canon N.P. and then a trip into Zion National Park.\u00a0 On the return to Page a shoot at Paria Canyon and our outrageous Bar \u2013B-Q dinner at the famous Paria Outpost!\u00a0 Killer shooting location at the perfect time of year, in the best company!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Screen-Shot-2014-07-09-at-5.51.49-PM.png\" rel=\"lightbox[12814]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Screen Shot 2014-07-09 at 5.51.49 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Screen-Shot-2014-07-09-at-5.51.49-PM-580x437.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"437\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A His Light Workshop<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Christmas in the Smokies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>December 2-6, 2015<\/p>\n<p>Townsend, TN<\/p>\n<p>Price:\u00a0 $799.\u00a0\u00a0 Limited to 12<\/p>\n<p>Instructors:\u00a0 Bill Fortney &amp; Jim Begley<\/p>\n<p>To Register or for Info Contact\u00a0 Bill Fortney @\u00a0 (606)-528-6119\u00a0 or billfortney@earthlink.net<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Start your Christmas season with Jim and Bill in the beautiful Cades Cove area in the quiet season.\u00a0 Deer will be in the rut, and their coats and racks beautiful, lots of fellowship around the fireplace and a great way to get your Christmas celebration started!\u00a0 Great fellowship, worship, celebration of our Saviors birth and photography what could be better!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>To Register or for Info Contact\u00a0 Bill Fortney @\u00a0 (606)-528-6119\u00a0 or billfortney@earthlink.net<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Personal Note:\u00a0 I will be doing Workshops under Three separate companies this year:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>His Light Workshops<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Jack Graham Workshops<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Vinny Colucci Workshops<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>I may add more under my own name later\u00a0 <strong>Bill Fortney<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Printable list of Photographic Events for 2015:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>February 4-8<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Workflow\/Slide Show Production \u2013 Corbin, KY\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>HIS LIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>March 12-15<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Peoria Camera Club Event\u00a0 &#8211; Peoria IL\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>PERSONAL\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>March 20-21<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nelson Ghost Town\/Neon Museum\u00a0 Las Vegas NV\u00a0 <strong>J.
