Digital Photography Workshop at Sun to Moon Gallery
Elevating Your Photographic Vision with Alan Ross, Ansel Adams’ photographic assistant
A hands-on, creative workshop for all photographers
SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 2017
9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Workshop Cost: $350.00
Limited to 9 participants!
Sun to Moon Gallery is pleased to present an inspired day of learning with renowned photographer, master printer and educator Alan Ross.
Alan practices Ansel Adams' philosophy and techniques perhaps better than any other photographer today. We will even take time after lunch to venture out into the neighborhood to photograph!
In recent years, Alan has been shooting digital photography (color & infrared) and black-and-white film photography and will bring these experiences to the classroom. This workshop will provide useful information for anyone seeking to push his or her photography forward.
Alan's workshop will focus primarily on the front end of photography, featuring equal parts photo philosophy and technical details. Participants’ images will become part of the presentation. To enhance the experience and interaction with Alan, this workshop is limited to 9 participants.
A sampling of topics to be covered:
Visualization, Ansel Adams-style. You can do it!
– Transcending the Moment – Understanding the difference between the literal, what is in front of your lens vs. the reality of what is in your head, and how to use it to your advantage. 
Essentials of Photography
– Nailing the Exposure – Know your limits and understand the histogram. It is your friend! There’s no substitute for getting it right in the field.
– Understanding and Choosing Lenses – What are the “personalities” of different lenses and which lenses work best to help achieve the creative results you’re looking for?
– Creating Compelling Compositions – Evaluating the elements of a scene to make their relationships to each other most effective.
In addition to discussion of creative & technical issues
for creating better images, there will be:
– Discussions and critique of participants’ images submitted in advance for on-screen review.
– A short photography session in the neighborhood with Alan Ross and Scot Miller, followed by a review and critique of participants’ images captured in the field.
WHAT TO BRING TO THE WORKSHOP
We will spend some time after lunch photographing in the neighborhood around the gallery. Participants should bring a digital camera, a tripod, a laptop for downloading and working with images, and an image-editing software that you are familiar with, such as Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop (to prepare images taken in the field during the workshop). You’ll also need a USB memory stick to transfer your images to the classroom computer so they can be displayed on our digital projector or monitor.
The class size of 9 allows for great opportunities to interact with Alan.
Don't miss this opportunity to up your game!
Cost: $350.00 Lunch is included - Mastercard, Visa, checks accepted.
