The monsoon workshops are similar to our safari style tours with a primary goal of getting you on locations that provide for beautiful images of active monsoon storms and brilliant lightning opportunities. The difference is that you’ll receive dedicated instruction.
Each workshop will include an introductory class on safety, weather apps and basic techniques. The rest of your instruction will take place in the field.
We’ll rendezvous each morning for breakfast, determine the targets for the day and then head out to position for storm development in the afternoon and evening hours.
We’ll wind it up with a virtual editing session via Facebook Live or Google Hangouts. This can be a group session or scheduled on a one on one basis. The group will decide.

Things to Consider
When determining which package to book, keep in mind that local AirBnB options are unavailable for July and August.
If you wish to secure lodging on your own we suggest that you check availability at Hotel El Capitan in Van Horn, Texas which is the closest option. The next closest would be in El Paso, TX or Carlsbad, NM.
There is also a local RV Park and camping options at Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
