Friday, September 10, 2010 (1:15 - 3:30)
Capturing and Creating
Amazing Digital Nature Photography.
presented by Kathy Keller Matejek and Linda Lalewicz of Amazing Sites Adventures
They will cover topics such as keys to exquisite composition, macro photography, working with depth of field
to get that Texas Highways look, shadows, panoramas, High Dynamic Range photography, painting with light, and more.
They also believe critique is key to the learning experience. Bring 3 or 4 photos on a thumb drive and they'll
look at what you did right, what you could have done and what you still can do with a little software assistance.
Amazing Sites Adventures offers digital photo workshops at some of the most awe-inspiring parks and natural areas
of Texas. They like pristine wilderness, comfortable accommodations and gourmet cooking. Their package includes a
variety of training modules covering technical and artistic techniques for capturing and creating amazing nature
photography.
