Then, Winston Hall heads to Texas for workshops in Dallas and Austin March 8-18. Steve Simon hits two big Canadian cities with Toronto (March 16-18) and Montreal (March 22-25).

Also during March, Michael Mariant runs his stunning Death Valley in Spring workshop where he'll be leading photographers to one of the most beautiful and austere places in North America. Join this group for phenomenal sunrise/sunset photos at famous locations such as the racetrack, Stovepipe Wells, Sand Dunes and Zabriski Point.

For those of you who are interested in photographing nature's spectacles during Spring, we encourage you to consider our photo workshops to California's Big Sur (April 19-22), Moab, Utah (May 7-10), Yosemite in Spring (May 24-27), Yellowstone Wildlife (June 2-5), Grand Teton Wildlife (June 6-9) and California's Giant Redwoods (June 21-24).

For our urban photographers, we have just created a new series titled Urban Photography led by photographer/architect Rick Hulbert. These 4-day workshops will be run in Seattle, WA (April 12-15) and Toronto, Ontario (May 3-5).

The focus will be using urban environments as both subjects and settings in your photography. The buzz for these new workshops is growing and people are excited to participate in this growing genre.

It's never too early to start planning for summer and Fall. The Nikonians Academy staff has already scheduled photo workshops to Tanzania, Alaska, Moab, Yellowstone, Eastern Sierra, Albuquerque and Acadia National Park. Join us for a photo adventure you'll never forget.
