High Dynamic Range Photography
The human eye is incredibly adaptable to light; however, today’s digital SLRs are not. Your camera cannot capture in one frame, what you see with your eyes. To overcome this, High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography allows us to reproduce the full dynamic range of the scene and later use software to combine the images and reveal the scene as you saw it. HDR has a somewhat negative reputation due to the “over-processing” some photographers apply to their images. This is completely unnecessary as you can make your images look totally natural using HDR. Sign up here.

Light Painting
Light Painting refers to several types of photographic techniques. One such technique, involves making patterns with a light source, usually single or multiple LED lights and another involves lighting a scene with lamps of some sort. This Workshop covers the latter. You will learn how to make interesting and engaging photographs where you have complete control of the light. You decide the intensity, angle and of course what gets lit and what does not get lit. Often the most interesting photos involve scenes where different parts of the frame receive different amounts of light. Sign up here.

Photoshop®
This Workshop is designed to get you up and running with a solid understanding of the most used features in Photoshop®. It has been described as a 800 lb gorilla and can seem somewhat intimidating when you first launch the software. Often this is when people give up. Most users only access a small percentage (less than 5%) of the application. This Workshop will get you up and running and make Photoshop® a powerful tool in your post-processing toolbox. Sign up here.
