Member’s Forum: (In Person) Into the Great Unknown: Grand Canyon River Rafting Photography Tour with Art and Deb Rose

Join Art and Deb as they share their preparation and experience rafting through the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River. Over 8 days they traveled 182 miles through 33 rapids, hiked canyons and plateaus, slept under the stars along the river, all while capturing some iconic and beautiful photographs. This unique photography tour led by Colleen Miniuk and Hatch River Expeditions brought about a different way to think about taking photos, bringing camera gear into harsh environments and maybe, even just a little, about modern life itself.

Bio

Art and Deb’s interest in photography blossomed over 20 years ago during a family trip to Australia. Their passion for both travel and photography continued to grow. Once retired from their careers, they are living their dream to travel and capture their experiences through photography.

Their travels have taken them through North, Central and South America, Europe, and Asia. Domestic road trips include Utah & Arizona, Grand Canyon, Route 66, Louisiana, West Virginia, Maine (complete with puffins), the Oregon Coast and Covered Bridges from Maryland to the Finger Lakes of New York.

Their interests span many types of photography including landscape, street, night sky, and wildlife. Deb enjoys merging creativity with her photos. Using Photoshop, she blends watercolor painting and brush effects to create photo artistic pieces; and in a process she calls “Photo Alchemy,” combines differing images to create new artistic compositions. Art enjoys working in post processing to create realistic composites and impart a range of dramatic looks to his photos.
