Many people consider flash photography too tricky or difficult to learn or find the light too harsh and glaring. In most instances, hotspots and over exposure through the use of flash is often simply down to a lack of understanding.
During the session you will learn when and how to use your flash in a variety of situations and light levels from full daylight to night, banish the shadows forever with a simple guide to using fill flash, balancing foreground and background light, how on camera flash can change your image, compensating flash output to achieve accurate white balance and much more.
SUNDAY 22 AUG
8AM - 1.30PM - Post Production course in Lightroom/Photoshop - Portraiture, landscapes & composites: 6 hour workshop - $300pp
This workshop is designed to cover more advanced processes, editing and tools in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop in just one day. Both of these programs are the industry standard for post production of images today.
In particular, what most people don’t realise is that Lightroom is so much more than a piece of processing software, it’s a complete image management and filing system. The course will teach you the introduction to Lightroom, how it works, setup, importing, exporting, the develop module and it’s tools and advanced processing with going out of Lightroom into Photoshop. When concentrating on Photoshop, we provide a full introduction to the basic Photoshop tools for photographers. The key topics are based around Photoshop and its relationship with Lightroom, which to use, when and how to make them work together to supercharge your image editing.
Our course is designed as an overview of how to work with the software to make it the very hub of your post production workflow.
