 HDR Photography Workshop (2 days)
HDR has caught the imagination of a lot of people over the past few years, and with improved software and dropping prices just about anyone can create amazing photos with this process.
HDR photography can take many forms. It can be used simply as a way to increase the dynamic range of a photo giving more details than normal. On the other end of the spectrum it can be used to create utterly surreal imagery from even the most mundane objects. Learn how to create images with High Dynamic Range techniques allows you to see the world in a new and unique ways. It also allows you to capture images that you never though possible (and would not be possible without HDR).
- HDR camera techniques for best results.
- HDR composition techniques.
- Software training (HDR requires special software during post production).
- and more…
Day 1: "Field instruction" teaching camera techniques to gather your source images.
Day 2: Software techniques and HDR image processing.
