September 23rd 2026 Tip & Techniques: Where to Photograph Fall Foliage
Everyone in Colorado knows the place to shoot great fall aspen is Kenosha Pass, right? ….Not!
The reality is when leaf peeping starts, the one place you don’t want to be is waiting in traffic on your way out of Georgetown to get a view of the changing colors. The fact is, our mountains have thousands of beautiful passes, hill sides and valleys filled with fall splendor.
For this T&T, ECC members will discuss their favorite haunts for getting great fall shots.

September 26th 2026 Field Trip: SOUL OF THE CITY – A Soul Road Trips WalkAbout with Jeff Johnson
Finding Beauty in the Forgotten Corners
A Photographic Walk-About with Master Photographer Jeff Johnson
Step off the beaten path and into the heart of a small town’s soul. In this immersive three-hour workshop, we’ll explore the alleys, old storefronts, worn facades, and quiet corners of a rural city — places brimming with untold stories, unexpected textures, and the poetry of everyday life.
Led by Master photographer Jeff Johnson, this WalkAbout isn’t just about taking pictures — it’s about seeing differently. You’ll learn to spot the visual metaphors hiding in decay, the elegance of aging architecture, and the human touch etched into brick and rust. With a mix of technical guidance and emotional inspiration, Jeff will help you move beyond snapshots into soulful imagery.
Whether you’re shooting with a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or smartphone, you’ll leave this experience seeing the world (and your photography) in a new light.
Workshop Overview
Price: $49 Per Session
Session 1: 9a – 12:00p
Session 1: 4p – 7:00p
Includes:
• Guided photo walk with creative direction and live instruction
• Artistic prompts and visual storytelling encouragement
• Optional group lunch/dinner after WalkAbout (on your dime)
• A follow-up 2-hour Zoom post-processing session the next week to reflect, share, and refine your images

Our own Tom Goldberg will go over Basic Photo Editing using Lightroom in a hands-on workshop. We will talk about basic steps to take a RAW photo (jpeg will work too, the results won’t be as good) from its unadjusted state to ready-to-use. Bring your device (laptop, tablet or IPad) with Lightroom installed, and a few photos you want to work on. You’re welcome to just come and watch, but you’ll get the most out of this by doing!
