Enrollment is limited—reserve your space today! Registration at the door is limited to available seats. Day 1—Nature Photography An entire day is devoted to capturing the best nature images possible on digital camera or film. John draws upon his decades of experience as a photographer, teacher and author to offer concrete, easyto- understand methods for improved nature photography. Through slide-illustrated lectures John will share numerous proven techniques—from basic to advanced—that you can put to use right away. Among the areas covered are exposure/ metering; pre-visualizing images and composing better shots; lens selection for a variety of situations; close-up and macro nature photography; using flash and fill-flash; creating dramatic, high-impact landscape photographs; tips on photographing wildlife and much more. You’ll leave with many new ideas to take your photography to the next, higher level! Day 2—The Digital Workflow and Photoshop Everyone who uses a digital camera quickly learns one fact: We’re producing many more images than we ever did with film cameras. How to deal with the overload of image files is this day’s topic. John has been shooting digital cameras for the past eight years, and has been using Photoshop even longer—since version 4 became available. He will discuss which file formats to shoot, and how to interpret the camera’s histogram. Then he will teach you step-by-step his process for handling these files: how to download and correctly rename files; the use of browsing and cataloging software and the differences between them; how to process images in RAW file converters; the efficient storage and retrieval of files; and the use of third-party software. During the afternoon session he will show you how to work with Photoshop to polish your images. You’ll learn about color management; the use of adjustment layers; dodging and burning techniques; and stitching panoramic images. John will teach you how to get optimal results when printing your images through proper printer setup and selection of paper profiles. In short, this day will cover how John deals with the digital workflow, from capture to final presentation.
