Princeton Photo Workshop and more. . .

The workshop on Saturday was outstanding. We had a full house. As expected, Jack Resnicki did an outstanding presentation as did Steve Dreyer.  From the questions asked during my "Introduction To HDR Photography" talk, I believe it was well received. After the workshop ended most, if not all, the participants came over and thanked us. WOW. Can't wait until the next one.  Stay tuned.

On another note, Scott Kelby goes into great detail today about the Adobe Creative Cloud. You can find it on his blog post. http://scottkelby.com/. I'm going to have to think about this for a while to see which way I'll go.  I'll let you know when I make a decision.

Have a great week.

I just finished giving another HDR workshop

I want to thank professional photographer Frank Veronsky for inviting me to do this HDR workshop at his studio. You can find his outstanding work at http://www.frankveronsky.com/.
I always enjoy giving this "Introduction to HDR" lecture.  We had a full house and I feel that the group was totally engaged.
We'll be planning a follow up session in the near future. The next one will feature post-processing techniques.
