Sunrise & Waterfall Photography Workshop
Learn. Explore. Create.
Capture the quiet power of sunrise and the motion of waterfalls in this immersive outdoor photography workshop.
Join Scott Turnmeyer for a guided, small-group experience focused on shooting in early morning light and mastering long-exposure waterfall techniques. You’ll learn how to work with changing light, use shutter speed creatively, and compose compelling landscape images in real-world conditions.
This is hands-on learning in the field — where great images are actually made.
You’ll learn:
• How to expose properly during sunrise
• How to use shutter speed to create silky water effects
• Tripod techniques for sharp long exposures
• Composition strategies for waterfalls and landscapes
• How to adapt quickly as light changes
Bring your camera, tripod, and a willingness to get a little adventurous.

What You’ll Learn in This Workshop
Sunrise and waterfalls create dynamic light and movement — and both require thoughtful technique.
In this immersive session, you’ll learn:
- How to expose properly during sunrise transitions
- How to balance highlights and shadows in early light
- How to use shutter speed for silky, flowing water
- Tripod techniques for sharp long exposures
- Composition strategies for waterfalls and landscapes
- How to adapt quickly as light changes
You won’t just hear about these techniques — you’ll apply them in real time.
Why This Workshop Matters
Landscape photography can look simple.
It isn’t.
Changing light, moving water, and environmental variables make sunrise and waterfall shooting uniquely challenging. Learning in the field — with guidance — shortens the learning curve dramatically.
This workshop helps you build confidence in real conditions.
Who This Workshop Is For
- Photographers comfortable with basic camera operation
- Students who have taken Manual Mode (recommended but not required)
- Hobbyists ready to move into landscape photography
- Anyone wanting stronger long-exposure images
All skill levels are welcome, but comfort adjusting settings is helpful.
What To Bring
- DSLR or mirrorless camera
- Tripod (required for long exposures)
- Extra battery
- Appropriate footwear and clothing
- Water and small snacks
Location details and meeting instructions will be provided prior to the workshop.
What Makes This Different
This isn’t a classroom simulation.
You’ll work directly with natural light, terrain, and movement. Scott provides real-time feedback and practical adjustments as conditions shift — the way they always do outdoors.
That kind of experience builds lasting skill.
After This Class
Many students continue into:
- Learn To take Better Photos
