March 27-March 31- Charleston, SC with Tony & Susan $1100, limit 10
This is a wonderful historic city with numerous photo venues. We'll be spending our time photographing Magnolia Plantation, where explosions of colorful flowers, huge oak trees draped with moss, and bald cyprus swamps signal the beginning of spring time. Historic Charleston architecture and the famous White Point Park full of azalea, along the waterfront. And various other locations. As with all of our workshops, there is ample field instruction and daily critiques. We'll touch on the various software that we use on images supplied for the critique sessions and there will be compositional and software presentations.
April 3-7 - Digital Edge Software/HDR
Charleston, SC with Tony
$1700, limit 5
Join Tony in Charleston, SC for this exclusive shooting & software workshop. We will be out photographing every day, but will reserve ample class time to work on images using Nik Software plug-ins, Alien Skin, Topaz, NIK HDR Efex Pro and Photomatix HDR software. There will be ample individual help with raw processing and workflow. Discussions will be conducted at each location on how to "shoot for the software" and pre-visualizing the final results, which may not be readily apparent when viewing a scene.
April 17-21 - Great Smoky Mountains, TN with Tony & Susan $1100, limit 10
This time frame should place us in the Smokies when dogwood are in bloom and the streams are beginning to run fully. Early spring skies can be quite dramatic, and fog rolls in and out of the landscape. Spring wildflowers are beginning to bloom, and we wouldn't be surprised if there is spring snow or hoar frost covering the mountain tops! There are layered mountain ridges and photogenic old historic settlements. As with all of our workshops, there is ample field instruction and daily critiques. We'll touch on the various software that we use on images supplied for the critique sessions and there will be compositional and software presentations.

$500, limit 10
June 24-26 Eastern State Penitentiary HDR-Philadelphia, PA with Tony
$500, limit 10
Eastern State Penitentiary is a national monument, a wonderful and graphic venue, and the location used in our new HDR DVD. This location provides texture and detail perfect for HDR: the colorful, cracked paint, rusty prison cell doors, towering guard towers, even Al Capone's "lavish" cell. The photo ops are tremendous and subject to interesting compositional and software driven interpretations. There will be an opening evening presentation on HDR to get you ready to hit the ground running the next day. We'll shoot from 10 am until mid-afternoon on Saturday, and Tony will be working with everyone individually on location. After dinner, we'll have class time to work on processing and technique. Sunday morning we'll critique the images and have final Q & A.

The White Mountains in NH is one of the best fall venues in the country, featuring brilliant reds and golds, colorful flowing streams, overlooks, birch forests, and numerous macro opportunities. This is a tour where class instruction will be plentiful, but field instruction will be minimal. We will be visiting our favorite locations, some very specific and generally not well known. The color window is very short and we'll be shooting along with the class, but will always be available for field help when needed. We'll touch on the various software that we use on images supplied for the critique sessions and there will be compositional and software presentations.
October 12-16 - Acadia, ME with Tony & Susan -- $1100, limit 10

Details
Prerequisites:
Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of exposure (f/stop and shutterspeed) and should know how to operate their equipment. Bring a laptop computer with RAW processing and image editing software in order to prepare images for critique. Any film shooters are encouraged to borrow a digital SLR to make images for critique sessions in order to maximize the workshop learning experience.
The Program:
This is a general itinerary; Each day's schedule varies due to which location we visit that day, how long we shoot, and can change depending on the weather. We could photograph all day if conditions are right, then have more class time the following day.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - Photograph sunrise and/or early morning, and late afternoon and/or sunset, and whenever the light is right. There will be presentations and critiques during the day.
Thursday - Photograph in the morning or class time, discussion and final thoughts over breakfast. We should be finished by checkout time.
* except Acadia, which begins on a Wednesday and ends on Sunday - and Eastern State Penitentiary which is a weekend workshop
Questions and problems will be addressed in the field whenever possible, which is the most effective way to learn nature photography.

2011 Workshop Schedule
contact Susan with any registration/workshop questions
March 27-March 31- Charleston, SC with Tony & Susan $1100, limit 10
This is a wonderful historic city with numerous photo venues. We'll be spending our time photographing Magnolia Plantation, where explosions of colorful flowers, huge oak trees draped with moss, and bald cyprus swamps signal the beginning of spring time. Historic Charleston architecture and the famous White Point Park full of azalea, along the waterfront. And various other locations. As with all of our workshops, there is ample field instruction and daily critiques. We'll touch on the various software that we use on images supplied for the critique sessions and there will be compositional and software presentations.
April 3-7 - Digital Edge Software/HDR
Charleston, SC with Tony
$1700, limit 5
Join Tony in Charleston, SC for this exclusive shooting & software workshop. We will be out photographing every day, but will reserve ample class time to work on images using Nik Software plug-ins, Alien Skin, Topaz, NIK HDR Efex Pro and Photomatix HDR software. There will be ample individual help with raw processing and workflow. Discussions will be conducted at each location on how to "shoot for the software" and pre-visualizing the final results, which may not be readily apparent when viewing a scene.
April 17-21 - Great Smoky Mountains, TN with Tony & Susan $1100, limit 10
This time frame should place us in the Smokies when dogwood are in bloom and the streams are beginning to run fully. Early spring skies can be quite dramatic, and fog rolls in and out of the landscape. Spring wildflowers are beginning to bloom, and we wouldn't be surprised if there is spring snow or hoar frost covering the mountain tops! There are layered mountain ridges and photogenic old historic settlements. As with all of our workshops, there is ample field instruction and daily critiques. We'll touch on the various software that we use on images supplied for the critique sessions and there will be compositional and software presentations.

$500, limit 10
June 24-26 Eastern State Penitentiary HDR-Philadelphia, PA with Tony
$500, limit 10
Eastern State Penitentiary is a national monument, a wonderful and graphic venue, and the location used in our new HDR DVD. This location provides texture and detail perfect for HDR: the colorful, cracked paint, rusty prison cell doors, towering guard towers, even Al Capone's "lavish" cell. The photo ops are tremendous and subject to interesting compositional and software driven interpretations. There will be an opening evening presentation on HDR to get you ready to hit the ground running the next day. We'll shoot from 10 am until mid-afternoon on Saturday, and Tony will be working with everyone individually on location. After dinner, we'll have class time to work on processing and technique. Sunday morning we'll critique the images and have final Q & A.

The White Mountains in NH is one of the best fall venues in the country, featuring brilliant reds and golds, colorful flowing streams, overlooks, birch forests, and numerous macro opportunities. This is a tour where class instruction will be plentiful, but field instruction will be minimal. We will be visiting our favorite locations, some very specific and generally not well known. The color window is very short and we'll be shooting along with the class, but will always be available for field help when needed. We'll touch on the various software that we use on images supplied for the critique sessions and there will be compositional and software presentations.
October 12-16 - Acadia, ME with Tony & Susan -- $1100, limit 10

DSLR Camera Lens Buying Guide
DSLR Camera Lens Buying Guide
Scott says "I get lots of "what camera should I buy" questions here at Photofocus. I personally don't enjoy that question since it's sort of like asking me "What sort of car should I buy?" I do have more sympathy for the next logical question: "What lens should I buy?" I am not talking about the "Is the Nikon 50 f/1.4 really better than the 50 f/1.8 lens?" questions, but the "What lens should I buy generally?" questions. Neither question is easy to answer. This is an updated version of my first attempt (back in June, 2009) to cover this question. I have seven basic questions here that should help make the process of selecting a lens easier. For those who just want me to pick a lens for them, skip to the bottom where I have some generic suggestions. If you're trying to decide which lens to buy, here are some questions that you should answer (on your own) before you decide to go to the camera store."

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: This post is an updated compilation of several shorter posts I wrote in the past trying to answer the question, "What camera should I buy?" This is a companion piece to my post DSLR Camera Lens Buying Guide. It’s still the most popular question I am asked. “What camera should I buy?” Lately there's a new twist to the question..."Is this brand camera better than that brand camera?" I tried to answer THAT question in THIS post: Canon v. Nikon DSLRs - Does It Really Matter? No matter how hard I try to tell people that there’s no perfect answer, they keep asking. So since I can’t convince anyone otherwise, at least know the answers to THESE questions before you ask me YOUR question.

in Berkeley Heights, NJ
November 14, 2010 10AM-4PM
The workshop will focus on using a variety of techniques and approaches with portable lighting as well as working with natural light to help you create unique images with personal style for whatever project you want to tackle. When photographing people, we don't always have the time to set up elaborate lighting. We will learn how to work quickly with a minimal amount of equipment and explore what to look for when using natural light. We will also discuss how to make people comfortable in front of the camera, as well posing and not posing people to create natural looking portraits. Other topics covered will be what equipment works the best and easiest and how to market yourself to get more work. Bring your cameras and up to 10 photographs you would like to share.
This fast paced workshop is for any level of photographer who wants to learn more about lighting for portraits, products or events. This is a great opportunity to study with a photographer especially known for his wedding and portrait work. Participants should already know how their cameras work.

Traveling around the world, he has captured portraits of diverse cultures of tribal, religious, indigenous and spiritual people. In addition to his role as a lecturer his photography has been exhibited throughout the United States.

NHCC's Centennial celectration -- Paul's Judging workshop was a resounding success!
Kudos to Paul Peterson for setting up and presenting the judging workshop that was held today in Branford, CT. It was a resounding success! This workshop was part of the New Haven Camera Club's Centennial celebration.
62 photographers (camera club judges, potential judges and interested parties) attended to learn about the strengths and weakness of judging photographs. It was an enlightening experience. We did not solve the world's problems (or should I say the world of camera club's problems) but we all came away with a better understanding of what makes a photograph less like a snapshot and more like Fine Art (technical aspects, the composition, the overall interest and the impact). We also learned about the inherent subjective nature of photography and how to make better comments (start with something positive and then move to a constructive criticism). After the mock judging portion of the program we split into four groups of 15. My group was only consistent with regard to their scores on 2 or 3 images, for many we were scoring 6 or 7 to 9 or 10, with impact (that "wow" factor) being the largest variable (and the hardest to make consistent)
We got to meet a lot of camera club members from across CT; some from as far away as Canton, Harwinton and Tolland, CT. Needless to say it was well received and we hope we can do it again next year. Someone suggested that we make this an annual event, with a different Connecticut camera club hosting each year. I think that would be awesome. I also learned that Bridegport meets an hour before their meeting to talk about aspects that make a photograph good and about judging and that Norwalk has a monthly judging forum.
Immense gratitude to Paul! Thanks to Linda Thomas, Bob and Laura Parisi for their help purchasing and setting up the food. A special thanks for Carmel for her hard work and the great coffee cake!

After the mock judging portion of the program we split into four groups of 15. My group was only consistent with regard to their scores on 2 or 3 images, for many we were scoring 6 or 7 to 9 or 10, with impact (that "wow" factor) being the largest variable (and the hardest to make consistent)
We got to meet a lot of camera club members from across CT; some from as far away as Canton, Harwinton and Tolland, CT. Needless to say it was well received and we hope we can do it again next year. Someone suggested that we make this an annual event, with a different Connecticut camera club hosting each year. I think that would be awesome. I also learned that Bridegport meets an hour before their meeting to talk about aspects that make a photograph good and about judging and that Norwalk has a monthly judging forum.
Immense gratitude to Paul! Thanks to Linda Thomas, Bob and Laura Parisi for their help purchasing and setting up the food. A special thanks for Carmel for her hard work and the great coffee cake!

Enhance Your Images As You Convert Your Raw Files
by Jack Neubart
How many times have you looked at a Raw digital image on your computer screen and thought that there is more to this shot than meets the eye? You may want to restore tonal values, enhance contrast, and maybe boost saturation in selected parts of the picture, or otherwise modify those pixels in a way that best expresses how you visualized the scene—during Raw processing itself. This type of workflow is available with numerous Raw processors. In this article I'll cover the use of Adjustment Brushes available in Adobe Camera Raw (CS4). Get The Full Story.

FREE Judging Symposium Saturday, November 6, 2010
Judging Symposium
Saturday, November 6, 2010
Why are we doing this?
Camera clubs depend on good judges to critique the work of their members. These days, clubs are finding it harder to get good qualified people who are willing to go out and serve as judges. We thought that perhaps bringing a number of interested people together to discuss the issue of camera club judging would be beneficial to all. Even less experienced photographers, not readyto become judges, may benefit from this symposium.
Paul Peterson will begin the morning with his updated program “Judging Photography In The Digital Age.” After the program, we will engage in a free-flowing discussion in which the participants are invited to share their ideas for improving the quality and number of camera club judges in our area.
Here are some of the questions we may try to answer:
There is no charge for the symposium.
We hope to see you there to share ideas and learn what others are thinking.
Light refreshments will be served.
An RSVP is not absolutely necessary but would be appreciated so we can determine the number of attendees. Email Paul Peterson at the following address: NHCCwin@yahoo.com or call 203-488-0267.
Directions from New Haven: I-95 north (east) to exit 56 Branford. Turn left. Go past Stop & Shop to Route 1 (Chowder Pot Restaurant will be across the street.) Turn right onto Route 1 (east). Follow one mile to the United Methodist Church, 811 East Main St, on the right (white church). Park anywhere in the lot.

The New Haven Camera Club is hosting a “Judging Symposium” on Saturday, November 6, at the United Methodist Church, 811 East Main Street, Branford, CT, from 9A.M. to 12 noon. Note: This is a different location from where the club normally meets. Directions are included at the bottom.

Here are some of the questions we may try to answer:
- What should judges look for in judging a photograph?
- How do clubs go about getting good judges?
- What makes a person qualified to be a judge?
- Is it more difficult to judge digital photography?
- What are the pet peeves that clubs have about judges and judging?
- Are there concerns that judges have about camera clubs?
- Can area clubs get an up-to-date list of camera club judges?
These are just some ideas for questions. We will discuss whatever the people in attendance want to discuss. If there is enough interest in this symposium, perhaps it can serve as a springboard for further discussions in the future.
Anyone can attend. You do not have to be a judge.There is no charge for the symposium.

Nik Software HDR Efex Pro
Just a personal note here. I pre-ordered the Nik Software HDR Efex Pro software because I love Nik software, and because I really enjoy all sorts of HDR. I got it on a Wednesday. I could not get it to work. I tried for two days, installed and re-installed, even re-downloaded. I called Nik that Friday morning. They said that there was a ahigh call volume and they took my number and said that they would keep my place in line and that they would have someone call me back (that day). No on called. I sent emails on Saturday and Sunday, got automated replies. I called on Monday but could not get through. OK, a new product, lots of calls I thought. Another week went by -- still no replies to the emails and still no return call. I call again and get told the same thing, someone will call me back. I explain all this and how I love my other Nik products they put me through to some queue to wait and wait and wait. Almost an hour later (remember I choose to wait rather than have them call me back) I get a live person. Wahoo! They ask me what operating system I am using. Windows XP. Silence. Their product only works on newer 64 bit operating systems. The regular vversion will not be out until Spring 2011. He tells me to try loading it as a Lightroom Plugin. OK, I can deal with that until the regular plugin comes out. I start installing the LR version and he gets me off the phone (I should have known better). That did not work either. Now I have to call them for a refund! Argh! I was looking forward using Nik Software HDR Efex Pro! So be careful if you order this, as this big limitation is not on their website! Shame on Nik. Just thought that people should be aware. ~Lisa

"Exploring High Dynamic Range Photography" with Rick Sammon
"Exploring High Dynamic Range Photography" with Rick Sammon
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 Lucis. If you're new to HDR, or would like to hone your existing skills, then this is the perfect inspirational and instructional seminar for you.
