12.27.08 - HDR Workshop



HDR Workshop with
Chris Alvanas
for photographers interested in learning about 
"High Dynamic Range" imaging

High Dynamic Range has become increasing popular with fine art and architectural photographers this year. This workshop is for anyone who uses Photoshop to process his or her images.It will consist of a lecture, presentation and demonstration on HDR by fine art and commercial photographer Chris Alvanas. Chris will define the terms, and explain how they are used as well as samples of why photographers' seek out a higher dynamic range in their images. 

Mr. Alvanas will talk through the set up process on how to set up the camera to bracket and when to use a tripod or cable release.  He will also discuss things to consider when defining your exposures and how much is enough. 

Finally, Chris will look at a couple of different ways to generate an HDR image and then tone mapping it into something that can be processed later in photoshop.  He will also discus how to achieve different looks depending on client or personal desires. 

Questions are encouraged.
