Apostle Islands Sea Cave Photography Workshop

Sept 3-8, 2017

 

This is a workshop designed to provide you with an incredible photo experience combined with hands on digital processing of your images using Adobe Lightroom. The workshop will include a day trip on a chartered boat to photograph the Apostle Islands sea caves from up close and personal. Centuries of wave action, freezing, and thawing have sculpted shorelines throughout the Apostles. Some of the Great Lakes’ most spectacular scenery occurs where nature has carved delicate arches, vaulted chambers, and hidden passageways into sandstone of the Devil’s Island Formation.

We will cover very basic info and some advanced techniques, as well as how to get out of automatic, and into creative photography. You will learn many creative photography techniques, correct exposure and good composition. Learn to transfer your images to the computer and basic digital workflow. There will be multiple location photo shoots in the Northwood’s, followed by image post processing techniques and digital workflow with image review and critique sessions.

Composition is basically the pleasing arrangement of subject matter and elements within the picture area. Good composition is essential in photography because the camera does not record a scene the same way that we see it. Our brain isolates information that it does not consider important, the camera however records everything, often creating problems with the composition. We will learn how to deal with these limitations to create great photos.

We have two eyes which give us the ability to see depth and spatial relationships. The camera records everything in only two dimensions which can cause further problems with composition in an image.
