Technical Workshop Series, Brevard
NC We have timed this workshop to make the most of the Appalachian Mtn Fall Color. The Blue Ridge Parkway is only minutes away from our location, providing Spectacular mtn sunrise/sunset views. We will visit many beautiful waterfalls located close to our hotel. The response to the Tech Series Workshops have been overwhelming, and I am once again proud to offer this series of workshops designed to enhance both your technical ability and visual sense. The workshops are for those photographers who wish to take their imagery to the next level. This series will consist of both comprehensive classroom and in-field instruction. Metering- Oct 16th Flash- Oct 17th Visual Design and Impact in the Field- Oct 18th Post-production...LR2 and PhotoShop- Oct 19th An Outstanding Image is one with Visual and Emotional Impact. Composition, lighting, exposure, selective focus, etc. all come together by our hands to invoke a response (pleasant or not) whereby the viewer is transcended from his world to the world we have put before them. If we remove the creative aspect of photography, we become documentaries. In photography, there is no separation of aesthetics and technique, the creative process providing the viewer with an interpretive/communicative vision of our choosing. To consistently transpose the images we see in
our mind, to the capture medium, it is necessary to pre-visualize
the result. Pre-visualization is possible when one has gained
technical proficiency. Knowing the photographic fundamentals
and being able to see and understand light, its quality and
quantity, physical properties, etc, and how they relate to your
subject and capture medium will allow you to take control of
your imagery. Being aware of the lighting direction relative
to the subject will allow you to choose a camera position that
will enhance your unique vision. Flash remains a mystery to
most, as does obtaining correct exposure. Composition, and backgrounds
sometimes overlooked in the heat of the moment can make or break
an image. Testimonials

Flash This workshop will provide you with the tools
and understanding necessary to control and achieve consistent
flash exposure. Flash is a different animal, especially when
combined with ambient light. Many find this area of photography
perplexing. When determining whether your strobe will be used
for main, balanced or fill, it is always necessary to consider
its relationship to the ambient light present. Moreover, the
ambient light need always be assesd first; its direction, intensity,
color temp, etc. as it relates to the subject. I highly recommend
taking the Metering workshop before this one. Flash meter; how to use the flash meter to determine exposure Manual flash; why, how and when to use it for consistent results!!!!
