Our workshop leader is a professional nature photographer, writer, teacher and much sought-after speaker. His work has been published in books and magazines, on calendars and posters, and in advertising media. He recently released a new instructional video, Multiple Exposures for Maximum Landscapes. Mark is a staff instructor for the Adirondack Photography Institute-ADKPI and leads photography workshops and seminars for camera clubs and other groups.

In this 3 ½-hour, live seminar, Mark will cover some of his favorite field craft and processing techniques for creating artistic landscape images. Your time will be divided between multimedia presentations and hands-on processing sessions, with the emphasis on the processing.

The presentations will cover topics including:

·      the art of seeing creatively & attaining critical focus
·      possibilities presented by various weather and lighting conditions
·      composing for feel & fine-tuning compositions
·      creating visual flow, compositional balance and dynamic tension
·      recognizing opportunities specific to various environments
·      photographing trees, forests, water, long exposures
·      abstract techniques for expressionistic imagery
·      shooting and blending multiple exposures for exposure and depth of field

In the processing sessions, you’ll follow along on your computer using example images Mark will provide, as he demonstrates state-of-the-art processing workflows step-by-step.

Mark plans to cover:

·      expressing your vision from capture through processing
·      processing for feel, mood & atmosphere, & image softening techniques
·      white balance, contrast and color refinements, highlight and shadow control
·      noise reduction and pre-sharpening
·      global adjustments & making selections in Lightroom and Photoshop
·      local adjustments using Lightroom’s masking tools
·      depth of field adjustments using Lightroom’s new Lens Blur tool
·      spot removal, and the new Remove Tool in Photoshop
·      layer masking in Photoshop – globally and locally
·      selective dodging & burning; B&W conversion in Lightroom and Photoshop
·      image and exposure blending using Photoshop’s blend modes

The seminar is tailored to all skill levels — from beginner to advanced. A working knowledge of Lightroom, Photoshop or other RAW processing software will be helpful. You will need a laptop/computer loaded with your image processing software. Assistants will be available to help during the processing sessions and you’ll receive step-by-step notes on the processing techniques, so you can apply them to your own images after the event.

You’ll come away from the event with the ability to look at the possibilities of landscapes afresh, with a wide range of tips and techniques for capturing them, and a well-rounded set of state-of-the-art processing techniques to elevate your imagery to new artistic levels. It’s a power-packed seminar. Fun. Educational. Inspiring. With information you can put to use immediately
