CW2* Jackie Kramer (FL) Artistic Floral
Post-Processing Techniques (laptops*) Friday 12:30-3:15pm All skill levels. Watch how you can take a good
image & make it stellar using a variety of editing techniques ranging from
a short five-minute Lightroom edit to a composite in Photoshop. Guaranteed to
ensure your creative juices flow long after your initial captures in the field as
you upload & edit later at your computer. You will walk away expanding the
universe of potential images and broadening your vision.
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.

parts: INFORM (presentation), PRACTICE (hands-on macro shoot) & FEEDBACK
(image review). You will learn to design images, not just take them, using
visual design building blocks. The Clinic enhances your awareness of subjects,

what you learn, & receive gentle, but honest feedback. It might just change
your photographic life! Freeman Patterson’s Visual Design Workshops inspired
