The Desert Landscape: From Capture to Print

 

March 18 - 22, 2009

$1,195 tuition

 

Visit Moab. Photograph Arches & Canyonlands National Parks. Learn Lightroom and Photoshop. Make beautiful prints.

All of this and more are packed into one, intensive five-day photography workshop that’s uniquely designed to

take your photography to higher levels.

 

During this personal, comprehensive workshop you’ll photograph the dramatic canyons, impossibly perched arches

and towering sandstone spires of Arches and Canyonlands, guided by pro photographers/instructors Bret Edge and

Nathaniel Coalson.

 

We’ll shoot the landscape in the sweet light of sunrise and sunset. Then, during the day, we’ll work in a

comfortable meeting room helping you master the digital darkroom using Lightroom and Photoshop.

 

Throughout the workshop, hands-on demonstrations and critique sessions will help you refine your image-making

skills. And you’ll come home with prints of your favorite images that will dazzle your family and friends.

 

This workshop is open to digital photographers working at any level and is limited to 10 participants. Visit

www.moabphotoworkshops.com to register for this exciting workshop!

Just a reminder that I will be co-leading a photo workshop with Nat Coalson in Moab Oct 23-26. In addition to

photographing amazing locations (some of which are relatively unknown) and great fall colors, we'll also be doing

workflow classes using Lightroom and Photoshop and lots of critique sessions. Participants will come home with

fantastic images and vastly expanded digital photography knowledge.

 

We've only got a couple of spots left so if you're interested visit www.moabphotoworkshops.com to register soon!

This is a common issue with wide angle lenses and polarizers. Many companies make ultra-thin polarizers designed for use on wide-angle lenses to minimize the vignetting effect. I use the Singh-Ray ultra-wide on a 17mm lens and the vignetting is very minimal, and easily corrected in post processing.

I use them on a fairly regular basis instead of fill flash. I use the Adorama 5 in 1 portable reflector, which has a gold and silver side, as well as a diffuser helpful for photographing small scenes and macro. This reflector is cheap (less than $50) and folds up to fit neatly inside your pack. They're great for adding natural looking light to foreground elements (i.e. wildflowers, etc.) when you're composing a near/far image and they're easier to use than fill flash.
