          HDR Workshop on Cape Cod October 19-21st

          Picture
          Professional photographer, Judy G. Rolfe, shows you step by step how to master High Dynamic Range (HDR). HDR is the process of taking a sequence of exposures, allowing you to lighten your underexposed areas and darken your overexposed areas to better simulate what your eye would actually see. You will see how to best choose subjects for HDR, such as watching for movement, clouds, sensor dust, and when you can find the ideal light to master HDR. HDR can enhance and improve your images, often adding drama and details. Judy will show you how to merge exposures to enhance your photographs.

          Note: This course requires PhotoMatix. We can load up the 30-day free 
          trail for the class. Special discount code for purchases after class. 
          will recommend several different books on HDR to read before class starts.
