SOLD OUT - - - -June 26,27-2010 -CAPTURING ALL THE LIGHT - THE HDR SOLUTION - LEARN THE PROPER WAYS OF APPLYING HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE CORRECTIONS TO YOUR IMAGES

SOLD OUT - - - - -Photographers don’t always have control over the range of light in their subject, particularly when photographing landscapes, and the range of light can be as high as 100,000 to 1 or 17 stops of light and sometimes higher. Even the latest cameras from Canon, Nikon, and other camera manufacturers can’t capture more than nine or ten stops of light. Using high dynamic range or HDR imaging, a photographer can capture and represent the full dynamic range of light found in a scene with high perceptual accuracy. The HDR process is theoretically simple: Capture a sequence of images at different exposures and combine those images into a HDR image. However, this process has numerous pitfalls and nuances and capturing a realistic HDR image can be very difficult. This workshop will include both field and classroom instruction time.
