In this limited seating hands-on class you'll learn about the hottest thing to hit digital photography in years — HDR (High-Dynamic Range). We'll cover every aspect of HDR, from how to shoot great HDR photos all the way through to hands-on processing them in Photomatix and Photoshop.

You'll learn:

Why HDR has become so important
What to do in the camera to get the best HDR photos
A quick photo walk so you can take your own HDR photos to work with in class
Hands-on processing in Photomatix (and how it's much easier then you thought)
How to organize and post-process your HDR photos in Adobe Photoshop, and seamlessly fit HDR into your workflow
Whether you're looking to learn HDR to help capture a realistic natural look to your photos, or you're looking to learn that surreal/grungy style, this class will make you an HDR pro by the end of the day.

Note: For this pre-con you'll need your DSLR camera, a card reader, a tripod, your laptop, and Photoshop or Lightroom. You'll also need Photomatix Pro 3. This is a 3rd-party plug-in. You are required to have it installed (the free trial version) before you come to the conference. We'll also provide a discount code for purchase to all attendees of the workshop. 
Limited to 60 participants.
