Thoughts from Gavin…
Making a great photograph is something more than just clicking the shutter, buying new software, or pushing the buttons. It’s something that goes deeper. To really master it is about understanding light and tone in subtle ways. HDR is not a style in itself. And that’s why this workshop is different. We’re going to look, not just at various ways to use HDR, but at how to control dynamic range so you can make it work for you.
We’ll be looking at various approaches to dynamic range. Tone-mapping in programs like Photomatix and Photoshop. Single file manipulation in software like Lightroom, Aperture or Camera Raw. We’ll be discussing the tools and techniques to get the job done right. no matter what that job is. Not just the buttons to push, but how to understand and mange dynamic range.
This is a series for photographers of all genres and skill levels. I love the study of light and dynamic range and today I get to share the ideas and techniques I’ve discovered in recent years to control light and pixels on bold or subtle levels. Whether you need the essentials of making HDR and managing dynamic range, or you’re looking for fresh ideas to help you manage light your way. You’ll get something valuable from HDR magic.. Gavin Seim.
