_CAPTURE THE BEAUTY OF COLORADO'S FLOWERS..._
PHOTOGRAPHING WILDFLOWERS IS AN AMAZING WAY TO COMBINE FUN, NATURE AND
YOUR PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE EVER TRIED TO
PHOTOGRAPH WILDFLOWERS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW THIS IS EASIER SAID THAN
DONE. LIGHTING IS OFTEN VERY DIFFICULT, MOTION BLUR BECOMES AN ISSUE
AS THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS BREEZE BLOWS YOUR FLOWERS TO AND FRO, TINY
FLOWERS BECOME TINY SUBJECTS IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPH, ETC ETC ETC.
EVENTUALLY YOU FIND THAT CAPTURING THE STUNNING BEAUTY YOU SAW IN
PERSON IS NOT POSSIBLE. CAN THIS BE FIXED? WELL, OF COURSE IT CAN
AND YOU DON'T NEED A WHOLE LOT OF EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT TO DO IT EITHER.
IN THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO MAKE YOUR IMAGES MORE
REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT JEWEL IN THE GRASS YOU SAW WITH YOUR EYES.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO OVERCOME THOSE PESKY TROUBLES IN THE FIELD
USING INEXPENSIVE (OR OFTEN FREE HOME-MADE TOOLS). YOU WILL BE
INTRODUCED TO MANY SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES ASSOCIATED WITH MACRO
PHOTOGRAPHY (DUE TO THE SMALL NATURE OF COLORADO WILDFLOWERS). BY THE
END OF THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL HAVE A NICE COLLECTION OF WILDFLOWER
PHOTOS VASTLY IMPROVED FROM WHAT YOU WERE SHOOTING JUST ONE DAY
EARLIER.
MY WORKSHOPS ARE SMALL, INTIMATE AND HIGHLY FLEXIBLE BASED ON THE
NEEDS OF THE CLASS AND EACH STUDENT. IF YOU STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
SOMETHING AFTER THE WORKSHOP IS COMPLETED, THEN I'LL HELP YOU AFTER
CLASS (JUST LIKE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL).
TOPICS INCLUDE:
* TECHNIQUES:
* Working with shallow depth of field.
* Dealing with motion and wind.
* Modifying poor lighting in small spaces.
* Composition in the macro world.
* and much more...
* EQUIPMENT:
* Building your own:
* reflectors
* diffusers
* wind blocks
* camera and subject stablizers
WHAT TO BRING:
* You will of course need a camera (Any kind will do. There are
advantages and disadvantages to each type)
* A macro lens (if you have it). If not then bring what you have
(long zoom if you have one). If you have neither then bring whatever
lens you have that has the shortest focus distance.
* A tripod is HIGHLY recommended but not necessary. A tripod that
can go low to the ground is preferable as most colorado wildflower
tend to be low to the ground.
* Knee pads if you have them (you won't regret it).
* Cloths you don't mind getting dirty (you'll need to lie on the
ground).
LOCATION: Golden, CO (start), Then we will move to locations along
the front range or in mountains (just depends where the flowers are at
their prime).
