Photography Seminar

Welcome to 2011 from Imagetree. It’s going to be a great year, more seminars, some changes to what we do and how we’re doing it. I’ll be doing more photography seminars this year as well as my Photoshop courses. Stay tuned.

This is a posting of new images including a digital painting I did using the new brush tools in Photoshop CS5. Amazing tools. I’ll let you work out which image from this post is the digital painting. Click any image to go large :) For those who know Photoshop this isn’t an applied filter it’s made using the new mixer and paint tools (and a Wacom, which is essential). I think Adobe are running out of things to put into Photoshop so maybe they’re trying to emulate some of the functionality of Corel Painter right inside Photoshop.

New Photoshop course dates will be are up on the website very soon now for those who’ve been asking me. I’m waiting to confirm some dates for my photography seminars so I can sort Photoshop courses out. I’ve been busy with other graphic design and website building tasks too. Again, stay tuned!

Lots of new images for you in this post all refined with Photoshop of course. A little bit of HDR, portrait manipulation, landscape and a grungy Winthrop Hall at UWA. Nothing straight from the camera. I’ve even squeezed in a macro shot.  BTW I’ve been lucky with some glorious cloudy skies to shoot – the first image below looked to me like sand thrown down by a cosmic hand (no, I’m not a believer in any cosmic deity but it’s a beautiful sky gifted by nature :)  Comments and queries welcome about any of my images. Enjoy. Pete.

Wheatbelt Photography Seminar

by Pete on November 10, 2010 · 4 comments

Thanks to all those who came from far and wide to the photography and Photoshop seminar in Shackleton on Sunday. Kathy Morris and I had the pleasure of spending a fabulous, long day amongst a terrific group of enthusiastic digital photographers on a very cloudy but fine Sunday. All of you who were there have already heard from me via email but this blog post is a nice way to showcase some of the pictures we set up and experimented with, including the shots we took in the wheat paddock when it was almost too dark to see! Thank goodness for high ISO sensors.

Big thanks from me to everyone who made it a huge success. An event like this took a lot of organising and there were many, many of you who contributed. Kathy’s spacious photography studio was the perfect venue and access to areas outside gave us plenty of areas to practice our photography.

Wheatbelt Imagetree Photography SeminarMel was our amazing first time model who made it easy for everyone to shoot, learn and get great images. You all saw just how lovely she is when I projected and edited a couple of images in Photoshop after the shoot. The finished images are on this page to click and enlarge (including the orange backlight flare shot which is a lucky accident that’s too nice not to use :)

I’ve included a landscape image I took on the drive out from Perth on Sunday morning. Next time I’ll give myself more time to shoot—there are photo opportunities around every bend that I didn’t have time to stop for.

See you all for the next seminar.

Stay tuned.
