Sun to Moon Gallery is proud to present this
one-day lecture and demonstration by renowned photographer, master printer and educator Alan Ross.
He practices Ansel Adams' philosophy and techniques perhaps better than any other photographer today.
In recent years, Alan has been shooting digital color and b&w photography in addition to his traditional large-format black-and-white film photography and he will bring all of these experiences to the classroom. It doesn't matter whether you shoot film or digital, color or black-and-white; this one-day workshop will provide useful information for anyone wanting to push his or her photography forward.
Alan's workshop will feature equal parts photo philosophy and technical details. As an added bonus, participants' images will be screened, discussed & critiqued throughout the day.
Topics to be covered include:
Visualization, Ansel Adams-style. You can do it!
* Capturing a nice scene on your sensor or film is great, but how do you take it to the next level and make a statement with 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
* Performance magic - Using Photoshop and/or Lightroom, or the darkroom, to refine your statement
Basic Elements of Photography, for Digital and Film
* How do light meters work? Whether in your camera or in your hand, you need to know. It does make a difference.
* Nail the Exposure - Know your limits and understand the histogram. It is your friend!
* 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?
* Understanding filters - for B&W and color
In addition to discussion of technical issues for making better digital or film images, there will be:
* Real-time demos of making tonal enhancements
* Discussions and critique of participants' images submitted in advance for on-screen review throughout the day
* A digital presentation, "Ansel Adams, at Home and On the Road"
Notebooks and pens/pencils are encouraged and laptops are welcome, but not necessary. Please note that we will not have tables set up and there will be limited access to power outlets.
The class size of 20 will allow for great opportunities to interact with Alan.
