A message from Bill:
“I am thrilled to be conducting a workshop right here in Ogden Valley.  June is a perfect time to capture both landscapes and wildflowers in bloom.”

Attendees of all skill levels are welcome to attend.  The workshop will be geared toward the level of attendees. It is recommended that you own and have at least a basic working knowledge of a digital SLR camera.  Here is what people are saying about Bill’s instruction:

“I’ve shot with Bill Singleton dozens of times on photography safaris, from wildlife to wildflowers, throughout Utah and north to Yellowstone, and can testify to his professionalism, his knowledge of cameras and all the technical facets of great photography.  His skills as a photographer are evident in his images.  Those images are well composed, professionally taken, and correctly processed – all steps that he articulately explains and teaches to those shooting with him.  Bill is a great teacher and those lucky enough to shoot in the field with him will come away with a new determination to improve the level of their own photography.”
Brent Paull, Professional Photographer, Tulare, CA

 “I have done two safaris with Bill. One was to Yellowstone National Park photographing wildlife and landscapes and the other was to the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve photographing wildflowers. He is a master of photography which is evident in his captivating photos! However, what sets Bill apart from other photographers I have worked with is his ability to teach. Being able to teach is an art form in its own! He does this in a gentle, encouraging manner whereby I felt totally relaxed and was able to improve my photographic skills tenfold. I also appreciated the tips along the way, such as using a noodle for my window when shooting wildlife, to the correct setting to use to capture a bald eagle in flight. Bill is awesome! I can’t wait till our next adventure!”
