Backyard Fine Art

 It is a Small World After All  

“If you want a rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.”

Where to focus on the why to of how, when your focus is Fine Art.

September 22 to 24

 

Sometimes all it takes is slowing down to the speed of life that allows us to see the bigger picture of the world around us. I have found that one of the biggest life lessons is that there is just as much grandeur in a simple plainness, the confines of our backyard, as there is in a sweeping gesture like the Grand Canyon or the Taj Mahal.

 

The goal of this workshop is to see a small moment in a big way, to learn the considerations needed to capture that moment, and how to create an image from that capture to a file ready for output. It’s taking that moment “that takes you” and making it into an image that causes others to accuse your expression of being “Art”. Simply put, the focus is shooting and then editing images ranging from single capture to multiple captures as we explore just how big a small world is. 

 

The workshop will be a shooting intensive/shooting theory intensive workshop with the focus being primarily on capturing and documenting the “art” to be found as close as your backyard. Because in reality, you do not have to travel to faraway and exotic places to create beautiful images. A breathtaking image is as close to you as just opening the back door.

 

NOTE: we will be working in the studio of the Palm Beach Photographic Centre and depending on circumstances on the ground potentially in the field.

 

We will endeavor to explore the tools, from the expensive to simple, affordable solutions, the capture techniques, from complex to simple, and what considerations you need to make at the point of capture to generate files to create images that will take the viewer the way the image took you.

 

*Please note Lightroom will not be harmed in this workshop though that cannot be said for other Adobe products and other image editing software.*

  • Camera and lens capable of focusing close in (not Macro)  Suggested lenses, 105mm f1.4, 85mm f1.8 70-200mm 2.8.

Note:  See examples of the equipment if you have a question don’t be afraid to ask first.
