Attention!
To make our workshops MORE affordable and easy to join for new members!

This is Special, LOWERED price workshop  – $5 only because we consider it NOT for everybody –  it’s will be at remote location! (Participants need to be in a good shape to get there by bicycle (30-40 min) – because by feet it’s will takes about 2,5 hrs from parking lot and same time back…)

Plus you need to drive upstate NY about 110 miles….( transportation and meals NOT included in the price for workshop, but share rides can be provided, and local diners are great !)

This meetup fee was set to SYMBOLIC price – just $5 (!!!) and we did not set any limit for attendees ( bring friends)!

Want to meet new cool ppl and spend beautiful day at national park?

Join us! We’ll guide you through all logistic and can organize share car rides!

TECHNICAL PART:
Bicycles, Yoga and Sportswear  SHOOT EXPERIENCE AT MINNEWASKA STATE PARK  NY  1-day photography workshop teaches:

– Location logistic scouting/ lighting setups with speedlight flashes at hi speed sync, reflectors – exposure bracketing techniques, – Raw vs Jpeg (Adobe RGB or S-RGB color space settings)
– using ND & Polarizing filters with Slow shutter speed or Open  aperture setting to achieve special DOF effects,

– how to use HDR feature shoots two frames in a single shutter release: one brighter and one darker. The camera then automatically combines them to create an image covering a broader dynamic range while retaining full saturation and tonality – an effective option for landscape photographers. (Tripod & Camera with HDR feature required)

In camera HDR mode or using Photomatix Pro 4.2 software with RAW files or JPG bracketing +/- 1,5 stop exposure – 3 images….

Check this photo from past workshop:

– practical skills to communicate with models during shoot and posing advice for them

–  advice on navigating the photography business… and much more!

2stops hdr was set at Nikon D810 camera (36mpx) and images was combined INSIDE camera at HDR mode without ant 3rd party software or bracketing in camera and combining at Adobe Photoshop later! Not bad result ( using tripod and freeze model pose for 1/2 sec) as you can see by shadow on the rock it was “back-light” situation , but face and body part was in the shade DEVELOPED correctly. Clouds at the sky also not overexposed….

We have many models who actively doing workout, Yoga and ride Bicycles. So we’ll make perfect cast, Guarantee!
