A True Rocky Mountain Photographic Adventure

Leave a comment
To all of you photographers out there, whether you are just starting out, or you are pretty skilled in your photography, we want to highlight our Summer and Fall Rocky Mountain Photography Workshops coming up in July and September!

NOW IS THE TIME TO REGISTER!!

(lodging options are filling up fast!)
EARLY REGISTRATION DISCOUNTS STILL AVAILABLE!

As one of last year’s  Rocky Mountain Photography Workshop participants said, it was “truly an unforgettable experience.”   Over the years, many of our participants have made similar comments, some returning 2, 3, even 4 times!

We go as photographers and we come back as good friends.
It happens every time! 
Gain great skills, create some great images,
and share in this fun experience.

We go to a lot of excellent photography locations at the best times when the lighting is optimal and when wildlife photo opportunities are most likely, but also a part of the fun is simply being around others who love photography.  Plus Kevin will be there to help you with camera settings and suggestions on how to get the best shots.

We have a great time together!  The shared experience of getting up early and going out into this magnificent national treasure called Rocky Mountain National Park, hiking together, photographing wildlife, waterfalls, mountains, and sunrises makes the experience truly memorable.

I have included a few photographs (below) of some of our previous participants enjoying this fun experience.

I hope you’ll join us for the fun and adventure!   The 2019 Rocky Mountain Photography Workshops are close to full, so now is the time to be signing up! 

CLICK HERE to learn more about the workshops and to register.

  • “The workshop was outstanding because we had total access to Kevin and Gail’s knowledge and experience in photography. We were presented with multiple shooting locations and lighting situations from which to learn. Kevin was always available to provide advice and help resolve any problems with camera settings or answer questions. The availability of daily photo reviewspermitted one to make any adjustments to shooting techniques before the next day. This was the most hands-on learning experience I have had and I look forward to more with Kevin.”

“A 5 star experience from beginning to end…”

  • “This workshop provided a broad depth of experiences in the RMNP because Kevin is so knowledgeable about the area and about the best way to photograph it. I really appreciated the care given to maximize each student’s experience, no matter their skill level. I will definitely consider taking other trips with Kevin and Gail.”

  • “Could not be happier with how the workshop turned out. Everyone involved was so nice and easy to get along with. Kevin was an excellent teacher – patient, explained well, relaxed and never felt rushed or that I may be holding others back. It was very rewarding and would highly recommend Kevin’s workshops!!”

  • “Kevin is a natural-born teacher and superbly facilitated the group while providing one-on-one attention. I learned a lot without feeling overwhelmed with technical details and had fun in the process. I highly recommend this workshop!”

  • “This exceeded all my expectations!”

  • “The natural beauty of RMNP was enhanced by Kevin’s knowledge of the park and locations that were custom picked for great photographic shots. Kevin’s calm, patient and knowledgeable teaching style meant that everyone, at whatever level they were at, felt comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, learning from them and then getting immeasurably better pictures as a result. The improvement in my photography from Day 1 to Day 4 was unbelievable. I came thinking the auto settings on my camera really took better pictures than I did, and I left seeing and believing that the pictures I now understood how to take were vastly superior to anything the camera could capture in auto mode. It was a 5 star experience from beginning to end.“

  • “This is a workshop you can’t afford to miss! I came to the workshop with a goal of never using Auto settings again… I achieved that and more. Kevin is such a great teacher and is able to work with photographers of all levels. He made everyone comfortable, I am from Virginia and did not know anyone in the group (as were several others) by the end of the work shop I had made a group of new friends! We were able to get so many landscape and wildlife pictures. The whole experience was amazing. I’m ready to sign up for the next workshop! Thank you Kevin” 

  • “The Rocky Mountain Summer Photography Workshop was an amazing experience! The success of the workshop begins with the organization and preparation of the instructor. Kevin and Gail were superbly organized and prepared! It was a treat to be lead to the best spots at the optimum time of the day to photograph the spectacular beauty and wildlife in the park. They demonstrated great flexibility and adaptability in meeting the needs of the group with the ever changing clouds, weather, and wildlife. It was also an incredible learning experience having a photography professional available to coach and instruct on the best methods for creatively composing a scene, capturing stunning images, and the correct use of a wide range of photographic equipment. Not only can I wholeheartedly recommend this workshop, but I’m already scheduled for a Rocky Mountain Fall Photography Workshop with Kevin!”

  • “Thanks for another spectacularly successful workshop in Rocky Mountain National Park! The conditions were even more challenging than last Summer, yet everything progressed flawlessly. We were at the right place at the right time to capture some incredible images. Thanks for everything!”

  • “I am a true beginner to photography. I took Kevin’s Photography 101, which I highly recommend for beginners, which explained a lot of the technical side of photography. I am a hands on/visual learner and being able to apply what I had learned in the 101 class at this workshop really helped me be able to take better/sharper pictures. Kevin is an extremely thorough and patient instructor. This workshop provided fantastic learning opportunities everyday with breathtaking views. I look forward to the next workshop.”

  • “Attending a workshop with Kevin is absolutely wonderful… so wonderful in fact that I did the same workshop twice. Kevin is very knowledgeable of the park as well as techniques to make us capture the best photos we possibly could. Kevin is very patient, kind, funny, passionate about teaching others how to take the best photos, considerate, extremely organized, etc. You won’t find a kinder, patient, and talented person to not only plan an awesome itinerary for the group, but to also be a tour guide of the park and provide facts about the different sights… AND provide constant photographic tips and instructions and reminders that were extremely helpful. Thank you Kevin. The workshop is worth the expense.”

The Bottom Line

Register for this workshop.  You will be glad you did!  You’ll end up with new photographic skills, great images, wonderful memories, and new friends.  But you need to register NOW.  Lodging options are filling up rapidly and space is limited!  Click on this link to learn more about the Summer and Fall workshops!

Photographers: What will be your 2019?

Leave a comment

As 2018 comes to a close and we are taking down our Christmas trees and putting away lights and decorations and the festivities are winding down, what do you have in store for 2019?

Some people make “New Years Resolutions” but I tend to not worry about doing that.  I DO reflect on what I am doing with my life and the direction I am heading and re-assess my priorities.

This is more than a once every year event though. I think we are sometimes doomed to fail if we think we’ll somehow magically make everything right on January 1. Things often start out good, but by February 1, how many of us have already failed in keeping our New Years Resolution? 

Rather than a once-a-year thing, let’s just make it a once-a-day thing. If we fail in some way today, let’s just strive to make tomorrow better. Or don’t even wait until tomorrow, let’s start now.

When it comes to photography, I know so many people who have grown in their photographic and artistic skills by choosing to do the work to improve.  Photography is so multidimensional.  It is not just about understanding shutter speed and aperture and ISO and depth of field, and focus points, and all that other techno-jargon.  That is just a starting point. We also must understand light and how it is the single most important ingredient in every photograph. And then there is composition and other artistic factors, not to mention creativity and personal expression. Then there are the computer skills involved with software tools such as Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, etc. 

There is SO much to learn to master this craft of “photography” in today’s digital world that it can sometimes seem overwhelming. 

My advice to you is to simply start from where you are and push to do more, whether it is to better learn your camera’s features, or study composition, or light, or creativity.  Just start somewhere. The main point is that you will only grow in your skills if you start working at it now.  Keep at it every day. Challenge yourself. 

Especially important, I encourage you to push yourself to the point of failing. Get out of your comfort zone, to the point of failure, and then learn from your mistakes.  I totally believe the best way to learn something is to fail and then learn from your failure. At least that has been my experience. The lessons I learned through failure are the lessons I’ll never forget.

If you need a “coach” to help guide you in a direction to become a better photographer, don’t hesitate to contact me (). I am more than happy to talk to you and help you assess some “next steps” in your pursuit in becoming a better photographer.  Let’s meet and talk sometime!

Remember, I offer a variety of classes throughout the year, and I also offer private instruction where we can focus on your specific needs.  If you’re into studio photography, or want to learn about it, I am happy to even let you rent my studio space for a supervised photo shoot where I’ll help you get the best shots possible.

Let’s explore opportunities for ways I can help you in 2019!

Also, note: I have a group that intermittently meets on Monday evenings at my studio, called the LifeInsights group.  It is totally FREE to attend.  We do book discussions, and anyone is invited.  Our next session is “Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits” by Gretchen Rubin.   We’ll meet on Monday Nights 7pm-9pm   January 14, 21, 28  Feb 4,11.    Click Here to learn more.

I wish you all a wonderful 2019!

Oh, and by the way, I have several classes starting soon in 2019 that are still open for registration and if you sign up by December 31st, you can SAVE UP TO $100!  And note my Rocky Mountain Photography Workshops still have space available with special offers that can save you up to $400 if you sign up soon!

Dare to Make This World Better

Leave a comment

Any of you who have participated in my photography classes know, that I am an absolute believer that each of us can make this world a better place. 

You can even use your photography skills to make this world better by serving the community, whether it is volunteering for some nonprofit community organization or taking on some personal project to help others.  I occasionally post volunteer opportunities on my website.  

I believe we all have opportunities to make this world a better place, even through simple actions.  Actually, you don’t even necessarily  have to seek out those opportunities.  I believe those opportunities find us. We just have to be aware and open to the possibilities.

For example, if you volunteer at an animal shelter, you could volunteer to photograph the animals to help them find loving homes.  Or you could volunteer to photography homeless individuals and families like we did last year. The opportunities are endless.

These opportunities go way beyond just photography. With some friends, we decided to create a group at my studio that meets on Monday nights to discuss different books, TED talks, etc. and share our various insights.  It is open to anyone, and we’ll be starting a new session in January. The group is called LifeInsights, all are welcome.

An Example of Someone Who Is Making the World a Better Place

Over this past year, I had the privilege to meet and photograph Darius Pettway at my studio.  I just finished reading his book “A Chance To…” today.  From the moment I started reading, I could not put it down.

Darius was so open and honest about his tough life journey growing up on the streets of Detroit, and his persistence to overcome adversity and pursue choices that ultimately have led him to help  young adults by providing them with tools of leadership, self-empowerment and conflict resolution to unlock their hidden potential.


To be honest, by the time I reached the end of his book, I was deeply moved and had to wipe away a tear.  I am so extremely proud of Darius in all that he is doing. I respect him so much.

As he says in his message at the end of the book, “It is not where you start as much as it is about how you finish.” Darius had a tough start, yet he has overcome so much, to shape him in to the leader he is today.

I encourage you to support Darius in his Youth Leadership Conferences, and buy his book and read it. His website is wallsoflife.com.

Each of us have opportunities to make choices that will make this world better for us all.

Go out and make this world better.

Seeing Past the Blur at Christmas

Leave a comment

Hi friends,

I don’t know about you, but when it gets to this time of the year, it seems like life gets to be so hectic. Once we get into the second week in December, it’s like time somehow accelerates.  The checklist of things to do gets longer, with shorter time to get them all done.

People are busy shopping, waiting in long lines, shopping on Amazon, mailing packages, buying supplies at the grocery store… (wow, the baking goods aisle at the grocery store was packed with people today).  Neighbors dropping off gifts of cookies.  Driving through the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights.  Friends going to homes and caroling. A fruitcake might arrive in the mail. We go through the “routine” of the holidays one more time. 

Of course now we apparently can’t listen to “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, on the radio but that whole thing has backfired, at least for me, because now I can’t get that song out of my mind!  But I digress…

Anyway… 

Regardless of your religious background (including no religious affiliation at all), it is hard to not get caught up in the magic of this time of year.  People of various faith traditions observe different holidays.  The days of Hanukkah have already ended, and Christmas is just about here.  We celebrate in different ways, religious or not.

We say “Happy Holidays,” “Happy Hanukkah,” “Merry Christmas,”, “Seasons Greetings,” and we put a smile on our faces.

I love Christmas, but I hate how I end up feeling “rushed” through this season.  I would enjoy it more if I could just hit the pause button and briefly take it all in… the memories that are being made at this moment, the family get-togethers, and everything else happening around us.

Unfortunately, sometimes it all feels like just a blur, as these times woosh past.  And then seemingly in an instant, we are taking down a Christmas lights and a tree, putting away decorations, and embark on our journey into a new year.

My hope for you is that you can enjoy these holidays. Find peace in whatever way you need peace, find comfort if you are feeling lonely or have lost a loved one in the past year (I know how hard that is).  If you are going through a hard time, I encourage you to do something brighten someone else’s life and I bet it will brighten your life as well. At least I have sure found that to be true in my own life.

I know this is supposed to be a blog about photography, but I honestly can’t seem to separate photography from “life.”  Our life experience so much shapes how we see the world around us, and that affects the photographs we create.  So my best photography advice is to see past this “blur” and photograph those special important moments you’ll want to remember.

I was listening to some of the Christmas classic songs on the radio in my car on the way home earlier, and I started feeling so sentimental as I reflected on my life, and the memories of Christmases past, and then I started thinking about how blessed I feel in my life.  My photography business is more than just a business to me.  Photography is something central to who I am. And words could never express how much I have grown to love all the people who have passed through my studio and through my classes over the years.  You are truly wonderful people and I am grateful beyond words for you all.

Through the diversity of all of you, I have come to truly appreciate you all, especially in our differences.  My friends of other faiths, I love how you live your faith.  My atheist friends, I appreciate how you sometimes challenge me in my beliefs, and I am actually grateful for that.  My Christian friends, I am grateful for the love you have shown me over the years.

As some of you might know, I am a Christian.  Having spent the first half of my life agnostic (and sometimes atheist), I definitely can see how people come to different conclusions about matters of faith and religion.  I have found a “home” in Christianity. At its core, it is what makes sense to me, and honestly it has reshaped my life so much, and my life is better for it. And my friends at my church feel more like family than just friends. I could not imagine my life without them. 

An Invitation: If you don’t have a church home, or even if you don’t have much interest in “church” at all, but would like to go to a Christmas Eve Candlelight service somewhere, my church is Bethany United Methodist Church in NW Austin.  If you might be interested, here is a link to the Christmas Eve Services info. If that’s not for you, that’s totally ok.  I just thought I’d extend the invitation.

Regardless of how you observe these holidays, my hope is that it is something more than a “blur.” I hope you find peace.

To all of you, my friends…
I love you.  

Most sincerely,
Kevin Gourley

Say “Wow” More

Leave a comment

Some of you may have heard of Enchroma Glasses. With these special glasses, people with red-green color-blindness can suddenly discriminate between colors they couldn’t see before.  There are a lot of videos posted on youtube of people trying Enchroma Glasses for the first time.  Here is one below.

This blog post is not really just about Enchroma Glasses, though.

I wanted to pose a question to you:  What if you could see the world in a fresh new way, where the seemingly mundane was suddenly amazing, where you were brought to tears by what you saw, where you couldn’t help but say “oh my God” over and over again?   And to think this amazing world was always there, you just could not see it.

Well for color-blindness, there are those special glasses.  But we have other kinds of blindness, where we might not see our world all that clearly simply because we often overlook the things that are most familiar to us. In a sense, we don’t really see what is around us, we see past it, and miss out on so much.

We take so much for granted in life. I wish there were some special glasses I could put on, where suddenly I was saying “wow, oh wow” over and over again. With more appreciation of the beauty that surrounds us, ALL around us, the more we can create stunning images of even the most mundane things. 

Watch for early morning light coming through a window as it caresses a plant with its warmth. Follow a butterfly on its ever-changing path and see where it leads you. Look into the eyes of someone you love… seriously, stop and look at them. Think about what your life would be like if they were no longer here.  Appreciate the world around you more.

If you ever feel uninspired and feel like there is nothing around you to photograph, put on the glasses of “gratitude” and see what you have been missing, overlooking.  Photograph that.  Try to tell a photographic story about your world and what you love.

Say “wow” more.

What Do You See? – The Wisdom of an Owl

Leave a comment

I have taught so many photographers over the years. The first photography class I ever taught was right around 40 years ago. While I teach, I also consider myself a perpetual student of photography as well.  My most important advice I can give any photographer is to “remain teachable,” always strive to learn more.

We photographers face an interesting challenge because the images we create are impacted by three distinct factors:

  • The scene – what we are photographing
  • Our eyes – what we see
  • Our camera – the device we use to create the photograph

The Scene – What We Are Photographing

Whether the “scene” is a person (a portrait) or some mountain (landscape), what’s in front of the camera obviously has a direct effect on the images we create. For portraits, we have decisions to make: who to photograph, how to pose them, etc. For landscapes, we choose the time, the location, and so many other factors. The scene is what is out there in front of the camera.  It is not a camera setting. For example, one question every photographer must consider is whether the light is right.

The quality of the light on a scene, whatever the scene, is a critical consideration for all photographers.  For photographs of people, if you know how to manage light, manipulate it, soften it, diffuse it, reflect it, shape it, you can create better portraits.  If you know how to use electronic flashes / speedlights or studio lighting such as monolights, you open the door to better photographs,   Light is critical for all photography, though.  Not just portraits.  That includes mountain landscapes, nature, anything really.

How do you improve the lighting on a mountain?  Come back at a different time of day, or different time of year. The more you take control of choices involving the scene being photographed and the lighting of that scene, the better your photographs will be.   Note I have a class that takes a very comprehensive look at Light & Photography that will ensure you have the skills to manage light more effectively.

Our Eyes – What We See

We don’t necessarily photograph what is there. We photograph what we see.  If we don’t “see” it, we won’t photograph it. Sometimes we miss the perfect shot simply because we did not see it. 

“The owl,” he was saying, “is one of the most curious creatures. A bird that stays awake when the rest of the world sleeps. They can see in the dark. I find that so interesting, to be mired in reality when the rest of the world is dreaming. What does he see and what does he know that the rest of the world is missing?” 
― M.J. Rose

What might you see that the rest of the world is missing? That is actually an intriguing question to ask yourself. In fact, that is an essential question to ask.  Your answer to that question is the key to your distinct view of the world, and is what separates your photographs from any other person’s photographs. I encourage you to spend more time pondering this question and your unique answer. Your photography WILL improve if you do this.

Think about any famous photographer, whose work you admire. Are they really just great because they had a better camera than you?  Not likely.

Our Camera – The Device We Use to Create the Photograph

The camera is the intermediary between your eyes and the world around you. It is the device, though which, you interpret and express your art as you capture images of what you see. 

You can choose to photograph beautiful things, people, and places.  You can choose to add magnificent lighting, but still you have to know how to most effectively use your camera’s many features to create the best images possible.  There is no getting around that.

The fully automatic modes just won’t always deliver the results you envision. Every serious photographer must choose to learn the important fundamentals of photography and the features of their camera if they want to create outstanding photographs. 

Of course I have classes that will help a LOT with that, such as my Photography 101 – Fundamentals of Great Photography class, or my Photographers Weekend Boot Camp.  I also offer Private Instruction on almost all aspects of photography.

Wisdom

Owls are often associated with “wisdom” perhaps going back to the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena, who had an owl as her symbol. Some say owls came to represent wisdom because of their large eyes and their success in hunting at night and catching creatures that humans weren’t able to detect.

The WISEST steps you, as a photographer, could take are to:

  • Seek out the beauty of the world around you… find those scenes, those places, those moments, those people you find beautiful and photograph them. And I don’t just mean physical beauty.  I mean “beauty” in a deeper sense.  Photograph what you love.
  • Take time to pause and see the world more deeply. If you carelessly rush through life, you might miss out on what really matters.
  • Master your camera skills and light, otherwise you’ll miss so many wonderful opportunities to create your own outstanding images.

What do you see that the rest of the world is missing?  Photograph that, and do it well.

Most sincerely, 
A Perpetual Student of Photography… and Teacher

Now what do I do?

Leave a comment

Have you ever encountered one of those moments, where you just sit and wonder what you should be doing with your life?  We all experience those times.   Sometimes that happens an existential level, how am I going to live?  Where am I heading?  What is the meaning of life?  What do I do next?  Am I in the right job?  Am I in the right relationship?  

Wow, those are big questions.  I am not sure I have an answer for you for that, but I am always happy to have a cup of coffee and talk, if you ever need a listening ear.

But this is a photography blog, and I DO have some answers for what you can do next in your life in photography.  Make a plan to challenge yourself to improve your skills. 

Most photographers find themselves in phases where they feel uninspired.  The best way to move out of that is to take some steps to do things differently.  Push yourself out of your comfort zone.

First make sure you know your camera.  If you don’t, that is the obvious starting place.  Consider either of these classes (and note there is a $50 discount if you register before December 31st!).

If you already know your camera pretty well, then consider improving your photo editing skills.  I offer great classes on Adobe Lightroom Classic CC and Photoshop CC.  They are currently sold out, but I am happy to add more.  Just let me know you are interested!

I highly recommend you also become a student of LIGHT.  Photography is all about light.  Light is not a camera setting. Light is what is happening in front of your camera!  I am about to add another Light & Photography Workshop in early 2019 (probably February).   Let me know if you are interested!  People who contact me early will get the first chance to register!!  

Or here’s another idea, hire me as your photography coach! We can meet regularly, go over new techniques, help you with your various challenges and take you to a new level in your photography!  I offer private instruction on almost all aspects of photography.

I love to help people step out of their photographic “comfort zones” and push themselves to improve their photography.

Get off the bench.  Let’s do this.

Kevin

It’s All About Gratitude

Leave a comment

Seriously take the time to watch these two videos… today… now.

We are all saying “Happy Thanksgiving” to each other today.  Anyone who knows me, knows just how much I believe living a life of gratitude is the key to an abundant life.  

However much or little you have in terms of possessions has little to do with your happiness.  Happiness is an awareness of all of the blessings we have experienced. 

Never taking life or granted. 
Never take the people in your life for granted.

Our friends at SoulPancake share the best insights about this.
I am grateful for these wonderful creative people who are making this world a better place.

Watch these two videos… today.

Never Take Life for Granted

6 Comments

I know, this is supposed to be a photography blog.  You’ll find all kinds of blogs out there where they’ll try to convince you that if you just buy this camera, this lens, this fancy piece of photography gear, your photographs will be so much more amazing.  I am finding, at this time of my life especially, that the most important “tip” I can give you is to cherish each moment in your life, and take photos along the way to remember it all.

Sometimes (actually all the time) we take so much for granted in our lives.  You woke up this morning.  You opened your eyes and could see.  You got out of bed. You spoke to someone you love.  You heard their voice. You held your child.  You fed your pets. You stepped out into this amazing world for another day.  We actually take for granted most all of these things, and yet any one of those could have NOT happened today.

The “routine” of it all gives us a familiarity that leads to an assumption it will all still be there tomorrow, and we instead focus all of our attention on the stresses of the day, the outrageous political fighting, social media, worries about our finances, petty differences with others, all the while ignoring those things we are most familiar with and matter the most to us.   They can be so close to us, we don’t really see them. 

For many people, there are those moments where the “routine” comes to a very abrupt, harsh, unavoidable STOP:  “you have cancer”, “your son has cancer”, “your child was in a severe accident”, “I can’t move my right arm”, “I just found him lying there”, “I don’t love you any more”, “I hit the brakes but couldn’t stop in time.” …

We take so much in life for granted, and even when we start focusing very intently on being thankful for everything in our lives as a gift, we still end up taking so much for granted.

It’s those darn distractions about what is wrong with our world that keep us from seeing all that is right in our world and being thankful for those things, even the smallest of things.  (And in most cases, they are not “things”).

I urge you to take time to practice a life of gratitude. Love the people in your life a little more.  Wake up each day with a little more appreciation that you have one more day on this amazing planet.

Make each day a great day.  It won’t be perfect. Not everything will go according to plans. That’s ok. Don’t lose sight of what REALLY matters, and choose to live this day, not just exist in it.

And back to photography… how you feel about this world around you totally shapes how you see the world, and how you see the world totally shapes how you photograph it.  Practice your photography with a sense of wonder and gratitude for each and every moment.

Take more time to just sit on a park bench and reflect on this amazing life you have been given. Do it now.  Not tomorrow.

All you really have is now.
