Between the Tides

Santa Cruz, CA

May 20–21, 2023

During this workshop, we will focus our cameras on the wonders of the intertidal zone. Monterey Bay features some of the most diverse tide pools along the California coast. They are amazing places full of life and photographic opportunities, but they are challenging to photograph unless you bring the right gear and know how to apply it.

Our workshop dates coincide with super-low tides at sunrise, when otherwise hard-to-reach habitats will be accessible. We will apply a range of tools, techniques and creative ideas to help you capture them in innovative ways. Past tide pool workshops have produced amazing results for our participants.

“It is advisable to look from the tide pool to the stars and then back to the tide pool again.”
—John Steinbeck
