One of the most mysterious and unique places in the state of Texas, Caddo Lake offers endless cypress tree forests that during the fall season, glow a vibrant orange, red and yellow. Not only are the cypress trees stunning, they are often filled with a variety of wildlife from birds, alligators and more. This workshop is timed for what is traditionally the best time based off my experience for the changing of the leaves, but please remember that this is nature at work, so we will take advantage of whatever colors she presents us with! During this workshop, we will venture out for both sunrise and evening shoots each day via boat, following the light and in search of the perfect fall colors. We will have access to some of the more remote locations on the lake, with the cypress trees dressed in beautiful Spanish moss and colorful leaves ranging from green to yellow to orange and red. If you’ve never experienced the swamp in the fall, now’s your chance to see it at it’s prime!
