As a followup to last year, at the 2010 NMC Summer Conference, we offered an immersive pre-conference workshop in digital photography. Led by Sports Illustrated staff photographer Bill Frakes and Don Henderson (Apple, INc), 20 participants learned valuable photography and storytelling techniques while exploring the wonderful world of Disneyland. For this special workshop, Disney has granted unprecedented access to the park and provided production assistants who will guide the group through the park, including a prime rooftop vantage point for the nighttime fireworks.

The following day, the workshop continued with a hands-on editing session in Aperture 3.0.

This video shows the best photos as selected by participants, and you can see more of their photos shared in flickr.
