Final Port of Call

Beached Boat  [Canon 5D]
Inverness, California -- June 25, 2008 
(click in the image for a larger version)

This old fishing boat, the Point Reyes, is in Inverness, California, beached near the main road that leads into the park. It provides a picturesque accent to the landscape around it and is also pretty cool in its own right. It's one of those things that you know has been photographed millions of times before you, but it's still fun to get out and make your own images of it. This is a pretty straight shot that was adjusted entirely in Lightroom.

New Workshop in Maine:
Leaping Into Digital, August 10 – 16

A new workshop has been added to my upcoming Maine itinerary. I'll be taking over the Leaping Into Digital class which is scheduled the week before my Real World Digital Photography workshop. I love teaching at the Maine Media Workshops. It's a great place the learn and share ideas and experiences with fellow photographers and the people who run the workshops are wonderful. To top it off, midcoast Maine offers so many beautiful and varied locations for photography that it is always a creatively stimulating experience. Here's a short description of this class:

"Learning how to store, edit and caption images in the field, and how to transport, transmit, and share images with clients and editors is mandatory for every working photographer. In this workshop, film photographers learn an essential digital workflow for organizing and managing their images and rejuvenate their passion for the imagemaking process.  Students gain an understanding of how things work technically and practically, theoretically, and photographically. Mornings are spent in the field, exploring Maine with digital cameras, chasing great light and capturing wonderful photographs. Afternoons are spent transferring images from cameras to laptops, organizing them with Photoshop Lightroom and incorporating them into searchable collections, web galleries and slideshows."

This is not a Photoshop workshop, but a working with digital cameras, photography, digital workflow and Lightroom workshop. Participants must provide their own digital camera, a laptop and have a version of Lightroom loaded on it (you can get the 30-day free trial version to use for the class). There's still some space left in this class but it is filling up. Click here to go to the registration page.
