We’ve just finished another of our Howick Photography and Photoshop Workshops held again at the delightful Yellowwood Cafe just outside town. We had some old friends along – Fran, Nick and Doug who have all done at least one of our workshops before, as well as a number of first timers that we hope will become old friends. Judging from some of the comments it was enjoyed by many and certainly Pat and I had a fun time. It always is when you in amongst people that are passionate about photography.
After sessions of photo theory and Photoshop we had a very pleasant afternoon working with two young models, Carmen Watson and Caroline Zuma. We did images indoors using the windows as a lovely soft light source and then went outside and in the late afternoon sun, experimented with reflectors as a way to light a model. The next morning we had a practical session in Photoshop, learning how to improve the texture of skin, take away a blemish or two, add a little sparkle to the eyes etc.
One of the interesting things on the workshop was the camera one of the participants – Maria Andrzejejewska – was using. A simple Sony point and shoot. It had virtually no controls and just look at 2 of the images she got! Who says that you need a camera with a gazillion pixels and more brain power than NASA when they put men on the moon! Have a look at the other images that were made on the workshop here.
