From an extraordinary sunset on a quaint Greek Island to the bustling scene of gondolas on the busy Grand Canal in Venice, the memories of our favorite travel experiences are a complex blend of all five senses. The sights, sounds, smells, and feelings coalesce to create our visual memory as perfect “Moments in Time”.
Spend the day with internationally recognized travel photographer Elia Locardi, as he guides you through the traditional in-camera and digital post-processing techniques he uses to capture and translate those Moments in Time into emotional visual scenes.
This hands-on workshop will build upon core photography principles and techniques, and introduce you to powerful post-processing methods in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, including Tips for using Wacom devices, Color Calibration and Profiles, Editing in Adobe Camera RAW, Manual Exposure Blending, Nested Layering, Creating Compound Selections, Luminance Masking, Color Correction, Detail Enhancement, Sharpening and Finishing
This is a classroom environment where students will get to work hands-on with supplied RAW Image files under Elia’s guided instruction. Workshop attendees will get the opportunity to use the full line of Wacom products including, Cintiq HDs, Cintiq Companion Hybrids, and Intuos tablets.
