CW3* Clifford Pickett (NY) Lightroom Post-Processing Magic (laptops*) Saturday 12:30-3pm A Foundational Masterclass on Leveraging the Full Power of Lightroom Using A Visual Roadmap. This class is very different than others you have taken. Lightroom is a powerful tool but the most powerful tool available to you as a photographer is knowledge. Have you ever wondered what actually makes an image better and why? Come gain that knowledge. Clifford will share his Visual Roadmap, a framework for understanding & applying the various tools available in LR. Basically, when you look at your photo, you’ll know what to do & how to do it. Most photographers, even those who have been using LR for a while, have no idea of the real power under the hood. Whether you’re a total beginner or advanced, you’re going to walk away knowing how to do things you never knew of or thought about before, that you didn’t even know was possible inside LR. We’re going to go way beyond just what the sliders do here! All skill levels.
* For CW2 and CW3 You may share a laptop with a friend or just come and /follow along. If you bring your laptop, you are expected to have the following software pre-installed. Kramer; Lightroom and Photoshop CS6 or PS CC; Pickett: Lightoom
CW4 George Fellner (CT) -- Imaginary Realms: Macro Photography of Stones & Crystals (Optimizing Depth of Field in Photography). Hands-on with PS demo. Friday 12:30-3:30 The realities of depth of field may pose limitations for certain types of photography. 3-Dimensional subjects, particularly in macro photography (also in landscape and architectural scenes), are challenging with regard to establishing sharp focus throughout. Focus stacking involves taking a series of photos at multiple focus points which are combined in post-processing into a single optimized depth of field image. Bring camera, macro lens, tripod, shutter release cable. Skill Level: intermediate

CW9 Scott Kelby (FL) How to critique your own work Friday 6:30-7:30pm. Scott shares his tools for evaluating photographs across a wide variety of genres. This class was born from Scott’s experience hosting blind photo critiques on the Grid, where he discovered that many submitted photos suffer from a range of technical issues that every photographer should be trying to avoid. Gain a strong foundation in understanding the technical problems we all encounter, whether you are shooting landscapes, portraits, sports, travel, or in the studio, and learn how to use that information to evaluate the photos you plan to share with the world. By the end of this class you’ll have a new way to see your photos, and new tools to help you curate a portfolio of your strongest work.
