Prerequisites: Photoshop® for Beginners or equivalent experience


Description

Learn to capture a scene and process it so that it more closely resembles how your eye would interpret the scene. That means capturing full detail in the shadows and highlights in the image instead of allowing them to become under or over exposed. You can even transform your images into something that more resembles a drawing than a photograph since the image will contain an amazing amount of detail in the deepest shadows.

This three-day workshop will cover:

1) Shooting for HDR: Learn how to choose appropriate subject matter, setup your camera to capture the full brightness range of a high contrast scene (this includes how to shoot in the midday sun while capturing full shadow detail).

2) Merging Exposures: You’ll learn to combine multiple exposures into a single HDR file. This includes batch processing and the secrets to merging images that were shot hand-held.

3) Processing HDR Files: You’ll learn all the tricks needed to produce exceptional results from your HDR files including many “secrets” that you will not find in any books or web sites.

4) Finishing Techniques: Learn how to direct the viewer's eye through the scene and eliminate distractions as well as create a unique mood using techniques in Photoshop.
