This exciting Hands-On class will be held on Friday, February 19th, and will be taught by the amazing Mark Johnson. High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography is a recent and thrilling
innovation in the world of photography. The human eye has always been
able to perceive a far greater tonal range than a camera can capture.
HDR was originally developed in an attempt to level the playing field between the camera and the
human eye. However, some photographers
now use HDR software to create breathtaking images that appear
painterly or surreal.
What You'll Learn:
-
What subjects and atmospheric conditions are most suitable to HDR
-
How to use your camera to capture exposure-bracketed images
-
How to tone map images in Photomatix Pro
-
Methods for using Photoshop to improve or enhance tone mapped files

This workshop, taught by well-known photographer Stephen Collector on December 9, will include numerous aspects of approach, ution and post-production with examples from the instructor's 35 years in photography shown. Approach will include discussion about preproduction, scouting, choosing a location, previsualization, and attention to details. Execution will explore how to dispel judgment and make the subject comfortable, with a focus on moving into the moment. We will discuss composition and simple lighting technique, using one light and reflectors.
Studio portrait lighting will not be demonstrated at this time, though principles demonstrated will apply. This demonstration will apply to the location portrait aimed at all photographers at all skill levels who may not have sophisticated lighting equipment.
Post-production will touch upon Photoshop tools that can enhance the final effect. We will not be going to go into this in-depth, as the intent of the course will be how to avoid the common mistakes in approach and maximizing success regardless of the situation. The instructor will also tailor the workshop to individual questions and problem solving as time allows.
