THE WINTER LANDSCAPE
A one day creative photo workshop for Valentines. All levels are welcome.
Winter 2011
Photographing winter landscapes can be one of the most difficult, yet rewarding types of photography. Whether you are shooting a wide landscape or a single snowflake, less than ideal conditions can challenge even the most experienced photographer. The workshop’s main purpose is to learn how to make a great photograph in less than ideal conditions and to learn how to make something out of nothing.
Topics we will covered include:
Simplifying subject matter.
Using motion to your advantage.
Seeing monochromic color.
Using harmonious colors.
Controlling contrast.
Proper Outdoor Exposure
Working in Low Light
Black and White or Color?
Time Exposure
Composition
Depth-of-field - Sense of Depth
RAW vs. JPEG
Leading Lines and S-Curves
The Rule of Thirds
Balance in Landscape Photography
The workshop will be in the Tejon Pass, California.
Most people drive through the area on Interstate 5 as fast as possible trying to get north or south. However, the scenery in the area is outstanding and includes the Tejon Ranch preserve.
We will meet in Frazier Park, CA. at 11AM. I will contact you with the exact location. We will try to carpool if possible either from Los Angeles or once we meet in Frazier Park.
The day will begin by discussing the topics above before heading out to shoot photos. We will be looking for winter scenery and shoot various scenes within the Tejon Pass area. Exact locations will be determined by the weather and light. Even in Southern California the weather can be wild in February. Especially at the 5,000 foot elevations.
The workshop will end after sunset about 6:30 PM.
