Description
A dark-sky adventure designed to elevate your night photography from capture to completion.
Step into the wild heart of the Ozarks where towering bluffs, ancient river bends, and dark skies collide in one of the most pristine nightscapes in America. Join 319 Photography, Bedford Camera, and Canon for an unforgettable 3-day adventure along the Buffalo National River, where the Milky Way arcs overhead in dazzling clarity.
Date: October 21-24, 2027
Location: Buffalo River Lodge, 215 Stick Horse Dr., St Joe, Arkansas 72675
Tickets: $3,500.00 per person, limit to first 15 people!
This UNIQUE / Workshop isn’t just about pointing your camera skyward - it’s about the full experience. Days will be spent exploring rugged river valleys and preparing for the night, while evenings bring in-depth, hands-on field instruction under the stars. You’ll photograph the Milky Way rising above dramatic landscapes, experiment with creative compositions, and harness the latest Canon gear (made available on-site thanks to our sponsors Canon & Bedford Camera & Video).
Back at the lodge, you’ll sharpen your images to perfection with the most in-depth, detailed, and comprehensive post-processing instruction offered at a photography workshop through our dedicated and curated classroom-style instruction - a hallmark of 319 Photography workshops. We’ll guide you step by step through workflows and exact techniques, not just theories, in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, so you leave with stunning, polished astro-landscapes ready for fine art printing.
What’s included:
✔ Three days of immersive instruction
✔ Lodging & meals included
✔ In-field shooting under excellent dark skies
✔ Canon & Bedford Camera & Video gear support
✔ Comprehensive post-processing sessions
If you’re ready for a workshop that’s equal parts adventure and artistry, join us on the Buffalo. Spots are limited. Secure yours before they vanish into the stars.
Speaker Bio: Tony Hebert is an award-winning photographer, educator, and adventurer whose passion for exploration has taken him from the deserts of the American Southwest to the Arctic landscapes of Scandinavia in pursuit of extraordinary light and compelling stories. As the founder and lead instructor of 319 Photography, Tony has spent more than twenty-five years refining both his artistic vision and his ability to help others unlock their own creative potential.
Known for his striking landscape, astro-landscape, and wildlife imagery, Tony's work has been exhibited at fine art shows and galleries across the United States. His photographs are recognized for their dramatic use of light, meticulous composition, and ability to convey the emotion and atmosphere of a moment. Whether capturing the Milky Way arching above an ancient desert formation or a fleeting encounter with wildlife, Tony approaches every image with equal parts patience, preparation, and artistic intent.
What truly sets Tony apart, however, is his ability to teach. Drawing from decades of professional speaking and instructional experience, he has developed a teaching style that is approachable, engaging, and remarkably effective. Complex photographic concepts are broken down into clear, practical lessons that photographers of all skill levels can understand and apply. Students consistently praise his ability to explain not only how a technique works, but why it matters and when to use it.
Through 319 Photography's UNIQUE / Workshops, Tony combines adventure, creativity, and comprehensive education into immersive learning experiences. Participants receive far more than a guided photography tour; they gain in-depth field instruction, detailed post-processing education, and personalized guidance designed to help them grow as artists. From camera settings and composition to advanced Photoshop techniques and fine art presentation, Tony is committed to helping photographers master the entire creative process.
For Tony, photography is about more than creating beautiful images - it's about experiencing remarkable places, embracing the adventure of discovery, and learning to see the world with a deeper sense of wonder. His mission is simple: help photographers create their strongest work while inspiring them to explore farther, dream bigger, and tell more meaningful visual stories.

Additional Information

We do not sell Grey Market Products
What is Grey Market?
Products that are imported and sold by anyone other than USA Authorized dealers are considered Grey Market products. These are often genuine products that were intended for other countries; therefore, they may not meet the manufacturer's specifications for US products or perform as expected, and they are not covered by a USA manufacture warranty or eligible for a USA repair service.
What are the differences as far as a customer is concerned?
In most cases, the main difference between a "USA" and a "Grey Market," or imported product is the cost of the item and the terms of the item’s warranty coverage. The products themselves are otherwise identical. As a rule, "Grey Market" items typically cost less than their USA counterparts. "Grey market" products never qualify for manufacturer's rebate programs and can not be price matched. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-333-4280.
