TWO DAY SEMINARS
The Process of Photography: from Vision to Capture to Output
The first day of the seminar is an all-day lecture presentation on obtaining the best quality photos with either film or digital cameras. This is a concentrated course based on John's field photography techniques outlined in his books. Topics include a discussion of cameras and lenses; exposure and metering (including his method of using a zone system for color); the best tripods for field work; closeup and macro techniques; adding flash for both main and fill light, and tips for capturing specific subjects such as birds, insects, flowers, landscapes, and wildlife.
The second day is devoted to digital capture, culminating in using Adobe's Lightroom and Photoshop to optimize images. Topics include RAW versus jpeg formats, image file naming conventions, downloading and cataloging images, software recommendations, file storage, and computer equipment. Lightroom and Photoshop topics include RAW file conversion, color management, understanding histograms, using adjustment layers, making and using masks, creating panoramic images, and setting up your printer using the correct paper profiles. John will walk you through his own digital workflow step-by-step, from capture to final file.
