Most people using HDR are making over edited underwhelming images that will never wow viewers. Because of that HDR has gotten a stigma. In reality HDR is the little understood power tool that if used correctly gives you control of the light and produces results that are astounding. How to make it happen is exactly what you’ll learn at this relaxed small group workshop led by photographer Gavin Seim.

Gavin’s is a young photographer renown for his experience with elegant yet bold high dynamic range images. He has has been featured in published works Such as Rick Sammon’s Digital Wedding Secrets and various podcasts discussing HDR technique. Gavin also writes HDR column on Pro Photo Show. You’ll learn more than HDR basic technique however. Cinematic composition, when and where to use HDR and making the most of your image without over editing.

The group will be working in the field on shooting excursions throughout the region and following thru to final edits that make your images come to life. You’ll learn techniques for simply and efficiently editing HDR’s and adding tricks to your arsenal to give your images a cinematic feel that goes beyond a photo and into the realm of fine art.

Shooting will take place in and around the region of the workshop. Meals, lodging and gear are not provided. There are specific no requirements, but ideally you should have a digital SLR, a tripod, a computer and some basic editing skills. We also recommend a photo editing program like Photoshop (or similar) and an HDR rendering tool like Photomatix (You can save 15% with code: PPS15)
