Our Digital Complete Nature
Photo Courses have the answers.
Each year, Mary Ann and I offer several
week long courses where there is a dual emphasis upon instruction
and learning while making outstanding images. Our group size is
small, never more than 12 participants. All courses are taught
by Mary or Joe, with Mary usually assisting Joe in the field,
and Joe handling most of the classroom instruction.
Our courses are usually based out of our studio building, the
Hoot Hollow Institute of Photography, designed for group
instruction and for studio work. The Institute and our
shooting locales are in beautiful Central Pennsylvania, a land
of rolling hills, mountains, farmland, fields, lakes, and streams.
It's a gorgeous area, a 'target rich' environment where you'll
not only learn photography, you'll also make great photographs!
Meals, lodging, and some transportation is included on all courses.
For experienced shooters and especially for graduates of our
Digital CNPC, this course will delve further into flash - both
TTL and Manual Modes, and will involve much more field shooting,
with critiques, instruction, and assignments. We'll also be dealing
with digital management issues and in several ways to maximize
the digital potential of your images.
On the Advanced course, we concentrate upon flash photography.
You'll learn about Infrared trippers for remote or fast-action
events like the PhotoTrap and the Shutterbeam, high speed flash
photography, and manual mode setups for fool-proof exposures.
This is a 'hands-on' course designed to improve the quality of
your photography, especially with electronic flash. We'll cover
everything you need to know for flash, with manual units (for
infield use and for studio) and with automatic TTL flashes. We'll
also cover fine tuning exposure and macro photography as it applies
to this work, and doing setups both in the field and in studio.
Combining improving your photography
with the integration of digital, this course offers complete photographic
and digital workflow instruction. You'll learn exposure, composition,
lens selection both in the field and via lectures, and you'll
learn how to import images, manage files, EDIT, and RAW convert.
If you're interested in digital photography this is the course!
PRICE: $1,595 includes all food and
lodging.
Adobe Photoshop is an incredibly
powerful and complex program, but one with far more features than
the average nature or 'normal' photographer needs to know. This
course will deal with the essential tools and protocol for Photoshop,
covering everything you need to know not only to get started with
Photoshop but to master the basics and the essentials necessary
for working with digital files, sizing images, making prints,
and more.
