Technical Workshop Series in
Bosque, NM The response to the Tech Series Workshops
have been overwhelming, and I am proud to again offer this series The STL Technical Workshop Series is guaranteed to be an unparalled learning resource. Each photography workshop includes extensive photographic instruction, daily image critiques, and more.
Metering- Nov 26 Visual Design and Impact in the Field- Nov 27 Flash- Nov 28 Post-production-Lightroom 2/3 & CS5- Nov 29 Bosque del Apache is alive with subjects and is one the best place I know of to practice and perfect fill flash and exposure techniques, as well as learning when to and not to take an image. Learn how to effectively compress the lighting ratio to that of your capture medium, and to recognize what makes an effective image. Instruction will include Advanced Manual Exposure and Flash Techniques, Post Production and more. If you can do it here, and you will, you can do it anywhere! An Outstanding Image is one with Visual and Emotional Impact. Composition, lighting, exposure, selective focus, etc. all come together by our hands to invoke a response (pleasant or not) whereby the viewer is transcended from his world to the world we have put before them. If we remove the creative aspect of photography, we become documentaries. In photography, there is no separation of aesthetics and technique, the creative process providing the viewer with an interpretive/communicative vision of our choosing. To consistently transpose the images we see in
our mind, to the capture medium, it is necessary to pre-visualize
the result. Pre-visualization is possible when one has gained
technical proficiency. Knowing the photographic fundamentals
and being able to see and understand light, its quality and
quantity, physical properties, etc, and how they relate to your
subject and capture medium will allow you to take control of
your imagery. Being aware of the lighting direction relative
to the subject will allow you to choose a camera position that
will enhance your unique vision. Flash remains a mystery to
most, as does obtaining correct exposure. Composition, and backgrounds
sometimes overlooked in the heat of the moment can make or break
an image. Testimonials
- The STLTechnical Workshop Series is guaranteed to make you a better photographer, but don’t take our word for it. See what past participants say about STL and Tech Series workshops. Metering This workshop will provide you with the tools necessary to control and achieve consistent exposure regardless of the subject and background tonality. Understanding Exposure Theory;
aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure values (EV) - how they
relate to each other and easy to implement methods for quick
alteration in the field Metering Methods; reflected (in-camera)
and incident (handheld), Sunny f/16 rule, reference points for
substitute metering, and more. Compensation; when and how much to apply to render the subject as desired This workshop will consist of both classroom and in-field instruction. . Flash This workshop will provide you with the tools
and understanding necessary to control and achieve consistent
flash exposure. Flash is a different animal, especially when
combined with ambient light. Many find this area of photography
perplexing. When determining whether your strobe will be used
for main, balanced or fill, it is always necessary to consider
its relationship to the ambient light present. Moreover, the
ambient light need always be assesd first; its direction, intensity,
color temp, etc. as it relates to the subject. I highly recommend
taking the Metering workshop before this one. Flash meter; how to use the flash meter to determine exposure Manual flash; why, how and when to use it for consistent results!!!! Flash as Main, Balanced, and Fill; how to determine and use each method Compensation; how to determine the right amount of compensation The Better Beamer; how and when to use it for maximum results Multiple flash; how to ratio and set-up multiple lighting Participants will conduct in-field tests with their own equipment using both high and low tonality subjects in various lighting conditions. Results will be evaluated both in the field and in the classroom. This workshop will consist of both classroom and in-field instruction. Post-production...LR2/3 & PhotoShop CS4/5 You will learn tons of shortcuts, and advanced applications
specifically tailored to help you make the most of your images
for both web and print. Guaranteed to further your image making
ability and creatively expand your photographic horizons. Every

specfic tools combined with mode changes can make difficult
tasks much easier. Visual Design in the
Field This workshop is designed to enhance your visionary
skills, as well as your technical execution. Special emphasis
is placed on creating images with Visual Impact. Increase your
proficiency while using creative techniques, compositional elements
and light to design in-camera images that are a cut above. Creative control; Composition and Visual Impact: Lodging recommendation and classroom (Comet Meeting room) instruction; In field instruction to
