Advanced Photoshop (Masking and Selections) - November 7-8, 2009 - FEW Spots Left : Advanced Photoshop | creative lightwork studio Advanced Photoshop (Selection & Masking) -- November 7 & 8, 2009 The heart of Photoshop is the use of selections and masks for localized editing. There are dozens of ways to designate a portion of an image for enhancement. The two day advance workshop will include demonstrations on some of the more effective approaches to selections and masking including: selecting vs. masking refining edges blend modes & advance blending modes alpha channels saving selections adjustment layers and masks workflow The workshop is limited to six participants with at least two instructors. During the workshop, participants will work on one of their images resulting in a final print. Participants should have a basic knowledge of selection tools and masking. Location: San Mateo, CA $445.00 - Nov 7-8 NOTE: Aug 22-23 workshop is SOLD OUT This two day highly intensive workshop will explore in great detail the most powerful tools available in Photoshop - masking and selections. We will carefully balance this technical exercise with the overall course emphasis of photography as an art form. Our mission is to help each participant realize their vision. Photography is a process that allows us to create an image based on our vision. If capture is the sketch then post processing is the paint. Our studio is the digital darkroom and Photoshop our tools for transforming our images into works of art. Better understanding of the tools gives us greater freedom to create whatever we can imagine. Understanding masking and selections gives us total control over our images. The use of these critical tools allows us to perform the most intricate editing such as controlling color and tone in a sky without affecting the rest of the image, removing distracting objects, or modifying a busy background no matter how difficult the selection. This is a hands-on workshop with an instructor/participant ratio of one to three and will culminate in a final pint. Lunches and snacks will be served during the two days. The following is our signature approach here at CreativeLightworkStudio Workshops: You spend time, one-on-one, with an instructor applying the course lessons to your work We teach creative vision by showing you what can be done to your work You will learn not only new tools, but also how to apply them successfully to improve your artwork We deliver a final product, your print Every question is answered We are looking forward to hosting you at this new workshop. feedback from past participants "Outstanding! I really appreciated the small size, the energetic faculty and the wornderful suggestions." / "Really provided an inviting atmosphere for the group to interact." Kate Games "Fantastic - extremely helpful - I've been to a faire number of workshops (ranging from technical to artistic in purpose) and I think you guys nailed the right level for this one. I learned a ton!" / "The great combination of 'see one - do one' alternation between demo/lectures with hands-on and having the chance to interact with really fun people who are passionate about photography!"

Bird Blind Photography Workshop - Monterey County PRIVATE Ranch (2010 Schedule) - Register Early : PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP Bird Blind Photography Ramrod Private Ranch (Monterey County) April 24-25, 2010May 8-9, 2010June 12-13, 2010 NOTE: Opportunities to photograph warblers in April and May. * ONLY 4 Participants * Register Early – All sessions sold out in 2009 * Featuring Wildlife Photographers Bruce Finocchio and Oliver Klink This is a complete photographic and spiritual experience. You will learn about photo techniques, bird behavior, and the history of the Ramrod Ranch. You’ll be blown away by the natural space just over one hour away from San Jose. Over sixty years ago, Bruce’s dad wanted a place of his own to go deer hunting. Thus, the ramrod ranch was born. A son’s duty is to follow his father footsteps in learning about guns and hunting—a rite of passage into adulthood. Somewhere along the way, around eighteen years of age, Bruce started to break from his father’s path. And today no hunting is allowed ;-) The property has been developed for nature photography; especially for bird photography by building a couple of permanent ponds on the property. If you feed birds, they will come, so we place perches and feeders around our little ponds--arranging the perches to obtain the best and cleanest backgrounds. From mid April on the rains stop and the country dries out, during the hot summer months our little ponds provide life sustaining and precious water for all the bird species around. In addition to food, water is a prime attraction for birds. How they do like to bath and clean their feathers! There are two ponds; each attracts its species, a few species only using one pond. Most species found at both ponds. Two different habitats; one pond is closer to the brush covered hillsides, the other in the more open oak grasslands near the cabin. We use photo blinds and place them next to the ponds, so with the right photographic equipment you can get frame filled images. It is just marvelous to watch birds in their nature habitat, going about their lives, acting completely natural. To hear a group of California quail calling around your blind is music to the senses. Sometimes a few mammals will surprise us and come to drink too. I love this place! It is in my heart—it is where I grew up and learned to love the natural world. It’s where I make “nature images that sing to your heart”. There is a maximum of 4 participants, so each will have the opportunity to receive individualized attention and instruction to ensure their photography workshop objectives are met. Bruce Finocchio Wildlife and Nature photographer www.dreamcatcherimages.net Workshop Agenda Through a combination of instruction, shooting from photography blinds and daily reviews, you will learn how to photograph the birds at Ramrod Ranch. Our lead instructor and ranch owner (Bruce Finocchio) has been taking award winning images at this place for many years.
