Chincoteague, Virginia "All Digital" Workshop

The new and unique two-day "All Digital" workshops are just what people have been asking for. With so many new digital shooters these days there are very few opportunities to learn the nuances of digital nature photography in a small, informal setting.

Whether you're new to digital photography or just feel overwhelmed with all the things you have to learn, these workshops are the answer to getting a boost in your digital photography skills.

With intensive lessons on digital imaging, digital workflow and digital editing techniques, we will cover a lot of ground in two days! Plus, with in-the-field instruction at one of the most beautiful locations on the east coast this one is not to be missed!

Topics to be discussed during this workshop include:

  • Getting the most out of your digital camera.
  • The histogram and how to interpret accurate exposures.
  • Image transfer and storage considerations.
  • Archival strategies.
  • Setting up a digital darkroom, calibrating etc.
  • Optimizing your image - dynamic range and color balance.
  • Working with adjustment layers.
  • Sizing photos and understanding resolution.
  • Sharpening.
  • Printing demonstrations.

    And more!

We will have a complete state-of-the art desktop system on site as well as an epson archival printer. Demonstrations will be done on a digital projector and students will be able to follow along on their laptops. Printing and sharpening demonstrations will be done on screen and concurrently with a calibrated LCD monitor.

In the field we will have opportunities to photograph the famous Chincoteague ponies as well as some resident deer and of course lots of birds!
