Rick Sammon's
"Exploring Digital Imaging"
In this informative and fun-filled presentation, Canon Explorer of Light Rick Sammon will begin by sharing his pictures from around the globe - some of which have appeared in his 34 books and thousands of newspaper and magazine articles. For every image, Rick will share a photographic technique, digital darkroom tip, or a photo philosophy.
After Rick "takes" us to Antarctica, the Arctic, Bhutan, Botswana, Cambodia, Costa Rica, India, Venice, Mexico, Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam, as well as to his favorite National Parks and wildlife centers here in the United States, he will share some of his favorite Photoshop CS4 enhancements.
Bonus Presentation "HDR"
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a revolutionary technique that transforms traditional photographs into eye popping images, revealing a wide range of exposures and tones that bring a scene to life. Overcoming the challenge of photographing details in extreme highlights and shadows is possible through HDR processes such as tone mapping and bracketing exposures. Come discover the magic of HDR by joining the legendary Rick Sammon as he shares his favorite HDR images, and his personal techniques for creating them. Rick will provide a basic overview of HDR imaging, followed by a demonstration of programs and plug-ins, including Photomatix, Topaz Adjust and Luic. If you're new to HDR, or would like to hone your existing skills, then this is the perfect inspirational and instructional Sunday lecture for you.
