Join me in Uncertain Texas on Caddo Lake for one of the most unique photo workshops out there. On this workshop we will explore and photograph the hauntingly beautiful flooded cypress swamps. The Bald Cypress at this time of the year are cloaked in stunning fall colors and it is simply a photographers paradise. Workshop includes all tour costs including boat and kayak rentals.
From shore and boat, we will have opportunities to capture the quiet mystery of the second-largest non-oxbow natural lake in the south and one of the largest flooded cypress forests in the US. This location is one of the most unique natural areas in the United States and should be on every photographers bucket list. It is simply amazing!!
