skip the first five minutes and then you will get into the actual tutorial. The first five minutes is a soap box, but after that the tutorial is useful. Lisa

All Photos Are Manipulated
All Photos Are Manipulated
There is no such thing as absolute truth in photography. Understanding how and why photos are edited will make you a better shooter and a smarter viewer. Written by Ben Long on August 3, 2011
"Manipulation Starts in the Viewfinder"
Read the whole article here
"All images are Photoshopped. Or Lightroomed, or iPhoto'd, or dodged, burned, re-touched, cross-processed, developed with more or less agitation in the tank, at warmer or cooler temperatures, and so on and so forth. This has been true since the beginning of photography. Understanding the representational nature of photography will help you take better pictures because you'll better understand how to exploit the strengths and weaknesses of the medium. But perhaps more importantly, it's important to understand that all images are manipulated. Still photos are the dominant communication medium used for everything from entertainment to artistic expression, journalism to sales. Becoming a more informed, understanding viewer will make it easier to understand when and whether there's any "truth" in the images put before you."

Digital SLR Basics : Got a new camera? Always wanted to learn how to take better photographs? Want to improve your photographs for camera club competition? Want to learn how to take better photographs of your kids? Want to learn how to use some of those great features in your camera?
Then this workshop is for you! This workshop is designed to help you improve your SOOC (straight out of the camera) photographs. Learn about composition and the “rule of thirds”. Learn how to adjust depth of field even if you are “program mode” and learn how to preview your depth of field. Tom will show you how to take photographs using assorted camera settings (shutter speed, depth of field, etc.) and creating better compositions of landscapes, people, etc. At the end of the session some of the images taken by the workshop attendees will be viewed and discussed with regards to things that could have been done IN the camera to improve the image. Bring your camera and your lens/lenses and your camera manual. Tom will show you how to take better photographs.
Photoshop CS4/CS5: In this Photoshop workshop for the Beginner and Intermediate user Lisa will demonstrate “non-destructive” editing techniques which will enable you to make your "good" photograph "better". She will walk you thru layers and adjustment layers, show you some of the most often used filters and demonstrate some popular editing tools, such as crop, clone, patch, heal. In addition, the workshop will cover how to sharpen an image, how to create black and white and color images, and how to apply an effect to a selected area of your photograph via the use of layers and masks. Attendees must bring a laptop pre-loaded with Photoshop.
Photoshop Elements 9: For the Beginner and Intermediate Elements user. Begin with downloading your photos from your memory card to the Organizer in Elements. Hazel will review the workflow of your image, beginning with Layers - why they are important and what they do. She will demonstrate basic editing techniques - cropping, resizing, straightening; fixing color and lighting; fixing "problem" areas; a few basic filters; and finally, sharpening. If time allows we will move in to some of the more "creative" techniques. Detailed notes and sample photos will be supplied so you can also practice at home. Attendees must provide their own laptop pre-loaded with Adobe Photoshop Elements.

How to Paint with Light
How to Paint with Light
A Quick and Easy Guide to Light Painting.
Light Painting is all the rage these days. Or, more specifically, has been all the rage for the last few years. But here's a fun fact: did you know that Picasso did light painting as far back as 1949? Check it out right here.
What is a Light Painting exactly?
Well, friends, Light Painting is the process of using a bright, often colorful light source to draw in mid air while your camera's shutter is left open in a dark environment. The resulting long exposure captures the moving light as an often solid 3D image floating in the space of your composition.

Ilford and Canon Team to Offer You a Free Photo Print
I just sent my image in! Lisa
Ilford and Canon Team to Offer You a Free Photo Print
Higher end photo printers can be a hard sell for folks. Obviously, they're made specifically for the task, but convincing a casual photographer or even an enthusiast to shell out $500 for a printer when the local big box store has photo printers for $100 is a challenge.
Canon's latest idea to help promote their costlier printers is to allow people to see the results for themselves. For a limited time, you can submit a picture to Canon and they'll print it out for you on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl paper and send it on over to you for free. You don't even pay the shipping.
"Canon USA has long been a great partner for us here at Ilford and we look forward to helping photographers produce superb photographic prints through this new campaign," says Ilford president Tim Maher. " I'm confident that the prints they receive on our Galerie media, produced on the latest Canon professional inkjet printers, will really blow them away."
You can find out more and arrange to have your own photo printed at Try My Photo.

This tutorial covers the basics of masks in Photoshop. First we will quickly go through Layers, since you can not understand what a mask is or does before you understand what a layer is.

Southern Adirondack Fall Color Tour with Mark Bowie
Southern Adirondack Fall Color Tour
October 9-12
Lake George, New York
with Mark Bowie
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
Lake George, “The Queen of American Lakes”, is arguably the most beautiful lake in the United States. It’s a 32-mile long, fjord-shaped body dotted with over 300 islands. Black Mountain, Buck Mountain, the Tongue Mountain Range and others rise above it, carpeted with a unique mix of northern and southern tree species. The lake’s regal beauty has made it the most popular Adirondack destination since tourists began coming to the grand hotels that once graced its shores.
The lake is encompassed by the Lake George Wild Forest, over 71,000 acres of protected woodland: stately white pine, hemlock, cedar, spruce, and hardwoods — maple, beech, birch, oak, cherry — that explode with color in autumn.
The grand lake and nearby waters reflect the landscape’s many moods and increase the beauty through reflection. Photographically, there’s so much from which to choose. The tour is designed in a series of day loop trips with a variety of subjects, from grand to intimate. Depending on conditions, we can chase the colors along Lake George and on nearby Brant and Schroon Lakes. For more intimate settings we can visit the Hudson, Schroon and Sacandaga Rivers, and Luzerne and Buttermilk Falls, all with the goal of shooting great autumn color in great light.
Mark Bowie is an authority on the Lake George region. He grew up here. He worked for his famous grandfather, Richard Dean, whose photography business catered especially to Lake George tourism for 60 years. Mark has also photographed the area extensively for his three Adirondack books.

Lake George, New York

Overview
Lake George, “The Queen of American Lakes”, is arguably the most beautiful lake in the United States. It’s a 32-mile long, fjord-shaped body dotted with over 300 islands. Black Mountain, Buck Mountain, the Tongue Mountain Range and others rise above it, carpeted with a unique mix of northern and southern tree species. The lake’s regal beauty has made it the most popular Adirondack destination since tourists began coming to the grand hotels that once graced its shores.
The lake is encompassed by the Lake George Wild Forest, over 71,000 acres of protected woodland: stately white pine, hemlock, cedar, spruce, and hardwoods — maple, beech, birch, oak, cherry — that explode with color in autumn.
The grand lake and nearby waters reflect the landscape’s many moods and increase the beauty through reflection. Photographically, there’s so much from which to choose. The tour is designed in a series of day loop trips with a variety of subjects, from grand to intimate. Depending on conditions, we can chase the colors along Lake George and on nearby Brant and Schroon Lakes. For more intimate settings we can visit the Hudson, Schroon and Sacandaga Rivers, and Luzerne and Buttermilk Falls, all with the goal of shooting great autumn color in great light.
Mark Bowie is an authority on the Lake George region. He grew up here. He worked for his famous grandfather, Richard Dean, whose photography business catered especially to Lake George tourism for 60 years.
