{Casa Noble} Follow Up from Shooters Workshop in Tequila, Mexico

I never got a chance to post some of the behind the scenes shots of my trip to Tequila, Mexico for the Shooters workshop I won last month. It was one of the highlights of 2010, so I couldn't let it go unrecognized. Not only was it an amazing workshop, it was an incredible experience staying at the Cofradia Hacienda and getting to know the people behind the scenes. And the tequila was flippin' delicious too. :)

I'm super excited to announce that I'll be hosting the next Shooters workshop in Long Beach, CA at my studio January 27th-28th, 2011. Go HERE to register. It's a phenomenal price for the amount of training, shooting, and one-on-one time you get with the instructors. You can visit my first post for more information on the workshop and to see some of the shots I got.

A glimpse at one of the private casitas that I got to stay in during my stay there. I can't emphasize enough how spoiled I was during my stay by the staff of the hacienda. They were so generous and kind. It's one of the reasons why I love Mexico so much. They really know how to spoil you!

 Everywhere on the hacienda there were fruit trees. You could pick them and eat them right off the vine. It was pretty awesome.

The workshop took place in the barrel room on the hacienda. 

How cool of a backdrop for a workshop is this?

This is Danny,  a photographer & Shooter founder from Chihuahua, Mexico. I liked him! Especially since he was a fellow Nikon shooter and Lightroom user.

 Deep in concentration. The workshop was mostly in Spanish, so I learned so much photography jargon in Spanish that I had not known before. 

Willy, a videographer, captured the entire workshop on video. I can't wait to see what he creates.

And let the shooting begin. 

The night skies were just magical.

And a full moon over the casitas to end my stay on the Hacienda.
