Nature photographers can take great photos by learning "the rules," but the images tend to look alike at the end of the day. Learn how to get out of your rut, find your own vision, and what it takes to give your images that something "extra" that sets them apart from the norm!
After image capture, the fun starts! Learn how to ingest your images to the computer, get them sorted, edited, organized, and renamed and how to add keywords to your images quickly and consistently. Once the dirty work is done, you learn how to unleash the power of Adobe Camera Raw to make your images look their best!
An artist can be described as taking the ordinary and transforming it into the extraordinary. In this presentation on macro photography, Nancy will share the basic techniques and special secrets, which she has used for 20 years in her passion for discovering beauty in little worlds.
One of the most important elements in any artistic endeavor is the artist. In a blend of personal thoughts, anecdotes and imagery, Nancy will offer tools to help photographers to blossom into artists - to produce images that go beyond documentary reproductions and into interpretive reflections.
What do you do with your image after you have processed the raw file? Photoshop can be overwhelming in its complexity and lack of guidance. This course takes you on a narrowly focused slice through Photoshop, teaching you only what you need to know to make your images look and print great. The course is based on instructor-provided Photoshop actions which make the process, dare I say it, almost "easy?"
Nancy is a successful freelance writer, photographer and teacher, who earns her living through photography. In this presentation, she will share how to deal with editors, what sells, how to make a go of it, and how to keep the passion and yourself intact in the process. Bring all of the questions that you've ever wanted to know about living your life as a photographer.
Get the Most Out of Your Camera: Shooting Modes, Auto Focus, White Balance, Custom Functions and More! Seemingly, every 18 months DSLR cameras become more complicated. As a nature photographer, learn what is important and what is not.
Topics to include:
Main functions on DSLR you should NOT ignore
Keep from being overwhelmed - learn what is functional
Histograms and how shooting digitally is different than film
Using programs that will create the most flexibility
How many times have you heard yourself and others say: "I just didn't see that!" In this presentation, Nancy will help you to see more creatively - with mindfulness and awareness. Through images and discussion, Nancy will offer tips on recognizing visual design and how the juxtaposition of elements interact creating relationships in your images and compositions with greater impact.
Learn how to process your advanced digital images, including photomerges, HDR images, depth of field blending, time lapse photography, exposure blending, and image stacks! We will use many of the techniques discussed in the Digital Workflow courses as we take these images to completion.
