Expanding Your Creativity with Time/Motion Techniques |
Photography Seminar
Meeting Location: Celebration Hall at St. Anastasia, 5205 A1A South
WEDNESDAY 10 TO 11:30 A.M.
Price: $25 | Max. No. People: 30 | Difficulty Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Today’s outdoor photographer has many options for expanding your creativity
beyond that of a simple exposure. Using techniques such as Long Exposures, both
day and night, we can now make photographs that dazzle the viewer. By using
strong neutral density filters in the day we can capture motion in still images. Time
lapse allows us to condense time and show a view of our world that is lost to the
normal observer. In this session you will learn about different options for neutral
density filters and how to calculate exposure when using them. You will learn how to
shoot time lapse that you process and put together as well as in camera time lapse.

Meeting Location: Celebration Hall at St. Anastasia, 5205 A1A South
WEDNESDAY 1 TO 2:30 P.M.
Price: $25 | Max. No. People: 30 | Difficulty Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Learn how to use the Graduated Filter, Adjustment Brush, and the Radial Filter to set
your images apart from the crowd. Ansel Adams used to say, “the negative is the score
and print is the performance.” In today’s digital world, the raw file is the score and your
post processing is the performance. Learn how to use the tools found in both Adobe
Camera Raw and Lightroom to turn your score into a performance that will dazzle your
audiences! Learn how to use these tools to accentuate the stars in your pictures and to
control the lighting of your images. Lewis will demonstrate his technique for “flipping
the light” to make your subject the strongest visual element in your pictures. Take the
ordinary and make it extraordinary with these tips and techniques.

Photography isn’t rocket science! If you pay attention to the basics of light, color

it is a matter of seeing and capturing what you want to convey. Stepping back and
reinforcing how to get great captures will elevate your images to the next level.
