This is my third workshop with Rock Light Photo tours and likely won't be my last! Colin was joined by Byran Haile (another excellent Moab photographer) on this workshop, and what a great combo it was! We were taken to remote locations where the skies were super dark and the conditions were perfect. Getting to these locations was also super fun! There was ample downtime during the day to process images or go for walks in and around Moab, or into Arches NP. Colin was on hand each day for assistance with Lightroom or Photoshop editing. I feel lucky to have joined the first Moab: Secrets of the Night Sky workshop and I hope it becomes a regular on the Rock Light Photography's website. Robin K.

This was my first workshop with Colin (Rock Light Photo), and it was absolutely fantastic. Loved that we got to stay in an AirBnB as a group when available, it afforded many opportunities to collaborate and learn from the other workshop attendees as well as from Colin. We had some weather struggles on this trip, particularly on the coast, but Colin helped us expand our skillsets and pushed us to see the beauty available regardless. Crater Lake is unreal, and staying in the park maximized our opportunities for beautiful sights, including some lovely nights under the Milky Way, which was visible to the naked eye. Colin did a great job scouting locations for us in advance, so we were able to maximize the night sky. I am definitely already making plans to attend, potentially one more trip in 2024, and definitely at least one in 2025. Thank you Colin, this trip was a treasure.

This was my third trip with Colin and arguably the most interesting given the diversity of locations, experiences and camaraderie of the course participants. The weather on the coast only partially cooperated, yet Colin was able to ensure the team stayed engaged and active, no easy feat when we were looking for images of the Milky Way and sunlit sea-stacks. As we moved to Crater Lake looking for Milky Way opportunities during unpredictable wildfires, fog and smoke, Colin came through finding opportunities where a normal instructor might have tossed in the towel. Colin's creative use of AirB&B houses and National Park Lodging allowed for multiple interactions amongst the participants and encouraging impromptu discussions and "sharing sessions" As an instructor Colin is a natural teacher as he can quickly assess the students' needs, skills and personality traits allowing for high degree of personal attention in a group setting. This is not something that typically comes naturally, yet it appeared to be quite natural for Colin. I eagerly look forward to my fourth course (I have already secured my spouse's permission for trips in 2025 and 2026 - Did I mention Iceland???? LoL) with Colin (and Niki) in 2025! As a final thought, for those looking for a genuine bargain, Colin's courses are extraordinary and under priced. Justin
