The Incredible HDR. Three Day Workshop In WA:

Gavin Seim: I write a lot about HDR photography here on Pro Photo Show. It’s an often misunderstood animal, that when used correctly is incredibly powerful.

This has been in the works for some time, but it’s finally official. My 3 day HDR workshop will be held in Fall of 2009 in Central WA, we’re going to cover everything from basic HDR landscapes to using HDR for amazing people pictures.

This is a small workshop limited to about 15 participants. Seats are first come first serve. You can learn more over on KungFu Photo.

Itoya Profolio Review: Cool Product Of The Week

This weeks cool product is the Itoya Art Profolio series. I really like these for presenting and storing prints. They solve the problem of displaying images in an easy and portable fashion. Having images in print simply makes a better impression than looking on a screen.

Profolio’s come in various styles, but the bottom line is that their a reasonably priced simple way to present your work. Coming in a broad range of sizes such as 5×7, 8×10, 11×14, and even 13×19 (which is the odd print size that comes out of my Canon Pro 9000 Printer).

Here’s a few available styles and some Amazon links. I also found them on B&H Photo.

Standard Art Profilio: This has a simple hard plastic cover with plastic sleeves inside. It’s not the most finished and while I would not sell it as a client album, but it’s simple and clean looking for a REALLY low price. This is basic presentation that’s inexpensive enough to double as print storage.

Photographers Are Criminals?

It’s no secret that photographers are sometimes treated as criminals for doing nothing more than taking pictures. This video will make you laugh, as well as make photographer criminalization look pretty stupid.

It’s about Duane Kerzik, who was arrested for taking pictures at Penn station. For their photo contest no less. I’m glad I’m not on the PR team for Amtrak, because it looks like their on a one way rail to stupidity. I could say more, but instead, just watch the video.

Update: Sorry to our non US readers. I realized that this Hulu video is not available outside the US. Hopefully it will show up on other sites soon… Gav
