-SCOTT CROTHERS - Spring 2016 Astrophotography Workshop Participant
"I had really high hopes and expectations going into your Big Bend Advanced Astrophotography workshop, and it exceeded every one of them.
This was truly a 'workshop' versus a 'photo tour' in that Jason gave us tutorials on his digital workflow which was extremely helpful to me. Jason also helped us all by getting us in the best position to shoot the Milky Way, and by suggesting starting points for our exposure settings.
The photos I came home with just blew me away. I shared my favorites on Facebook and the reaction from my friends and their friends was overwhelming."
