"Photoshop Why and How" Workshop at Light Photographic Workshops
I'm pleased to announce I will be teaching a workshop entitled "Photoshop Why and How" at Light Photographic Workshops in California, March 22-26, 2010. Even better, if you register today (by close of business on Friday, January 22, 2010) you'll receive special "early bird" pricing.
In this workshop I'll help you better understand your images, gain insight into the motivation for a given image and the vision for that image, and then show you how to produce the very best results in Photoshop. In short, if you tend to focus on "how" to apply particular adjustments instead of thinking about the "why" for those adjustments, or if you have ever opened an image and didn't know where to begin, this is the workshop for you.
This workshop will include discussion of a wide variety of issues related to producing the best results for a photographic image, critique of your images in a group environment to help you better understand what is possible and how to best approach a variety of photographic situations, and a hands-on learning experience that will help ensure you leave feeling like a master of Photoshop and the workflow necessary to produce incredible results.
This will be an incredible workshop experience, and I look forward to sharing the experience with you in order to help you realize your photographic vision.

The Incredible Journey of the Butterflies
Tuesday, January 26 at 8 pm ET/PT on NOVA
Check your local listings as dates and times may vary.
Orange-and-black wings fill the sky as NOVA charts one of nature's most remarkable phenomena: the epic migration of monarch butterflies across North America. NOVA's filmmakers followed monarchs on the wing throughout their extraordinary odyssey. To capture a butterfly's point of view, camera operators used a helicopter, ultralight, and hot-air balloon for aerial views along the butterflies' transcontinental route. "The Incredible Journey of the Butterflies" director Nick de Pencier describes his attempts to fly like a butterfly and other adventures making the film.

Governor's Footguard Dog Show Feb 21 http://www.governorsfootguard.com/dogshow/
Feb, 21, 2010 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
XL Center Exhibition Hall 1 Civic Center Plaza Hartford, CT 06106
An AKC sanctioned all breed, obedience and junior dog show. Public is invited to watch the competition and meet the dog owners and handlers.
ADMISSION: Adults $8
About the Foot Guard Dog Show... Since the 1920’s, the First Company Governor’s Foot Guard Athletic Association has sponsored, with a small number of exceptions, an annual AKC sanctioned dog show. The current format of the show is All Breed, Obedience and Junior Showmanship (AB/O/JSHW). Dogs entered in our show compete for championship points. We generally have around 1200 dogs entered in our show representing all seven groups (Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding) and representing about 140 different breeds. These entrants come from all over the United States and Canada. Our show is held, generally, on the third Sunday in February of the year. We partner with the Elm City Kennel Club, who holds their show the day prior to ours and we use the same venue. For the past several years, that venue has been the XL Center in Hartford, CT. The Hartford Obedience Training Club runs the obedience trials at our show. Our dog show superintendent is MB-F, Inc. of Greensboro, NC, one of the premier dog show producers and managers in the United States. Some of the proceeds of our dog show are used to fund two scholarships that are given to pre-veterinary students at the University of Connecticut; one attending the School of Agriculture and one attending the School of Natural Resources. In addition to our AKC sanctioned show, we also hold a match dog show sometime in late September or early October. This is an informal or ‘practice’ show so no championship points are awarded. Instead, it is an opportunity for dogs and handlers to learn how to show. Our match show is held and the First Company Governor’s Horse Guard reservation in Avon, CT. Questions or comments?

"Capture the Possibilities" George D. Lepp seminar May 23, 2010
In the age of digital, photography is still the same—but everything’s different! Exciting new equipment, capture techniques, and software programs are redefining the field by overcoming the limitations previously set by film and expanding the possibilities for expression of every photographer’s creative vision.Today’s digital photography involves mastering the inter-related processes of image capture and optimization. How we approach each subject determines the range of possibility for its portrayal, so get it right from the start. As George will demonstrate, there are no limits! You’ll learn how to create magnificent panoramas (even macro panoramas) and high-resolution “gigaramas,” maximize your options with expanded ISO, photograph lightning in the daytime, get unlimited depth of field for landscape and macro applications, and achieve perfect exposure with HDR composites or multiple-processing of a single image. And it’s time to embrace action—and stop action—with time-lapse movies created with your DSLR and the high-resolution video capabilities of many of the new cameras. It’s a whole new approach made easy with your familiar lenses and simple, efficient editing software!In this seminar, George Lepp will share his many creative approaches to landscape, macro, and wildlife subjects to help you get every shoot right from the very beginning. Illustrated by George’s masterful imagery and seasoned with wit, this program is a must-see for nature and outdoor photographers who are ready to embrace all the possibilities of digital capture and composition. You’ll be inspired and energized, and ready to get better results and more enjoyment from your photography!
