HDR (High Dynamic Range) Workshop
with Branch Watkins and Nancy Ori
December 10, 10-4pm
Get rid of those blown out white skies.
Bring more detail into shadow areas.
Photograph interiors without complex lighting equipment.
Create dramatic night shots.
Improve the contrast of black and white conversions.
Add drama and mystery to mundane scenes.
This workshop will demonstrate how to make a range of exposures to capture details in both highlights and shadows and then use software and your judgment to process them into a single image. Included: a review of the camera work needed and techniques necessary to do a series of images with a variety of exposures. Some questions answered: when and why do you want to use HDR, how do you deal with image capture and metering, will auto bracketing work or do you need manual, and how can I do HDR with a single image?
Once you have captured the images, what's the best way to process them to get the results you want? The HDR approach can be used conservatively to produce realistic images or aggressively to push images into the fantasy world. We will discuss the pros and cons of several of software options and compare results: Photoshop CS4, Photoshop CS5, Bracketeer, Photomatix, as well as some newer software.
Space is limited so there is a lot of one-on-one attention.
Location: Berkeley Heights.
Laptops are not necessary.
Fee: $175
