Shoot, Capture, Create - Lightroom 5 and Photomatix Pro 5 Workshop

 

Creating amazing digital photographs requires the mastery of both in-camera techniques as well as a solid understanding of the capabilities of RAW image capture and post-processing in image making. Shoot, Capture, Create is a unique workshop that will show you how to capture imagery with post-production in mind and how you can take advantage of the gamut of features available in Lightroom and Photomatix Pro to transform your captured image into a work of fine art!

This is a very hands-on workshop that will see you photographing a coastal sunrise (yes, you read it right, it’s a 6.40am start) and then working on your images using Adobe Lightroom 5 and Photomatix Pro 5 at our practical session later in the morning. A laptop with Lightroom and Photomatix Pro installed is a must (if you don’t have a laptop, you can also follow the post-processing session with the notes provided).

By completing this workshop, you will learn:

  • How to visualise a scene before you photograph it.
  • How to set your camera up to capture the dynamic range of the scene.
  • Techniques for shooting to Expose to the Right (ETTR).
  • Using Exposure Bracketing to capture high dynamic range scenes.
  • The advantages of shooting in Raw image format.
  • The Lightroom RAW image post-processing workflow.
  • Importing your RAW images into the Lightroom catalogue.
  • The value of keywording.
  • Processing single-frame RAW images in Lightroom’s Develop Module.
  • The impact of using local adjustment tools in Lightroom.
  • Colour grading and modulation in Lightroom.
  • Applying automatic and manual lens correction in Lightroom.
  • Fusing exposures using Lightroom and Photomatix Pro.
  • The power of the Exposure Fusion mode in Photomatix Pro.
  • Best output values (colour space and resolution) for display on the Web and for printing.

This is a workshop that will give you the skills to pursue image making end-to-end, from image capture to post-production completion!
