Santa Fe Trail

Santa Fe Trail  [Canon 5D]
Santa Fe, New Mexico  July, 2006

This is a life size bronze sculpture depicting a wagon train that is at the entrance to Museum Hill in Santa Fe. The exposure time is 2.5 minutes at f/8, 100 ISO. In addition to the light from a nearly full moon and the lightning in the distance,  I used a flashlight to paint in some illumination in the foreground and also placed a small penlight in the cowboy's raised hand. The photo was taken last year during my week long workshop in Santa Fe.

Featured Workshop

The Creative Digital Darkroom
July 29 – August 4, 2007 Santa Fe Workshops

This week's featured workshop is still a ways off, but if you're interested in a week of creative Photoshop and digital photography (including panoramas, HDR, multiple image composites, diptychs, triptychs and more), then consider joining me in Santa Fe, New Mexico this summer for my Creative Digital Darkroom workshop.The workshop is based on concepts, philosophies and techniques that are covered the book I am currently finishing up with Katrin Eismann, The Creative Digital Darkroom, due out this fall from O'Reilly Media, Inc. The digital darkroom lab at the Santa Fe Workshops is one of the best I have ever taught in. Each student has a G5 Mac with a cinema display with access to an HP Designjet pigment printer. We'll be exploring all the cool new features in Adobe Photoshop CS3 as well as Photoshop Lightroom. We'll also have some photo excursions during the week for practicing creative camera and exposure techniques, including a foray into the magic of night photography.
