One main shot and a few beach frames. The beach frames were taken from each side of the bridge I am standing on, so I could hide the bridge I am standing on in the final photograph. The exposures were stitched using PTGui software.
Course Part 1 – Photography
The workshop starts by covering photography. What makes a good photograph. How to reduce the scene into a series of logical problems and exposures: Base image, technical exposures for contrast control and print quality, then artistic exposures for the creative content. Aesthetic and composition subjects.

Cropping For The Composition
Fine Art Photography & Photoshop Course: Part 1
The canvas is cropped to lock off the composition, finding a balance to keep the island small and dominated by the sky, but not so small the island looses its hero status and focus of the picture. The story is the ‘island in the environment’.

Next, we understand how the camera alters the tones of the scene. If we understand the tonal defects the camera causes, then we know how to counteract the defects. We study the camera response curve, how it relates to the camera histogram and how we use both to take maximum quality exposures without noise.

Mask Making For Extreme Detail
Fine Art Photography & Photoshop Course: Part 1
The very detailed, high quality mask is now created, so it is ready for use when we drop in the new sky next. The mask quality is critical to avoid edge artifacts while retaining the smallest detail of the spires and sky through the windows.

Last, we concentrate on equipment: Tripods, cameras, camera settings and presets, everything we can do to capture the highest technical quality in our exposures. Finally, calibration of the complete workflow from the camera to monitor and finally, print. This is important for achieving consistent results through the workflow.
