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. Really mastering it is about understanding light and tone in subtle ways.
HDR Is Not a Style: This one gets people. You see HDR is often thought of as a particular look. And yes, it can be that look. But HDR is really about understanding your dynamic range. In any situation – That’s what makes HDR Magic so different from other workshops. We’re going to look, not just at how to master HDR, but at how to control dynamic range in any image and make it work for you.
Tools & Techniques: It’s not about pushing buttons, but about how to understand and mange dynamic range. We’re be focusing on the HDR side of light, but we’ll also going beyond that. Looking at various approaches to dynamic range. Tone-mapping in programs like Photomatix and Photoshop. Single file manipulation in software like Lightroom, layer blending, burning, dodging and better capture in the field.
All genres, All skill levels: I love to study light. Today I get to share the ideas and techniques I’ve refined over fifteen years. Whether you need the essentials of making HDR images or you’re looking for fresh ideas to help you manage light your way. You’ll get something valuable from HDR magic. Guaranteed – Gavin Seim.
