Photo Workflow Workout

Photo Workflow Workout

On May 1st and 2nd, I'll be leading a seminar titled "Outdoor Photography Workflow Workout." If you want to refine your skills in Photoshop and Lightroom and have some fun at the same time, this is the class for you. Here's the basic outline of the class:

1) Meet at the Hilton in Portsmouth, NH on Saturday at 8:30 a.m. and spend the morning going over basic workflow theories using Lightroom and Photoshop and discuss shooting techniques for creating HDR images, panos, and images with extended depth of field using photo stacking techniques.

2) After lunch, we'll then head out into the field to make images. Where and when we shoot will depend on weather conditions, but all locations will be within 10 or 15 minutes from downtown Portsmouth. If the weather is good we'll probably shoot at sunset on Saturday and/or sunrise on Sunday morning.

3) After shooting on Sunday morning, we'll return to the Hilton, where we will import and organize our photos in Lightroom, then learn the various editing techniques needed to turn your raw files into the most excellent images possible. We'll be sticking primarily to Lightroom, Photoshop and an HDR program (Photomatix.) I'll also introduce some Lightroom plug-ins that I have found to be a big help when exporting images.

4) If time permits, we'll also go over printing and web templates in Lightroom.

This should be a lot of fun, and all participants will receive a free copy of one of our AMC Discover guides. Your choice of Acadia, the White Mountains, or Southern NH.
