Description: Just like the spring Chincoteague workshop, participants will be challenged to think outside the box. However, a major focus of this workshop will be the digital darkroom. We will skip the afternoon shoot on Saturday to do an extended classroom session that will cover not only Nikhil's workflow but also various techiniques he uses to process images in Lightroom and Photoshop. Since regular workshops are focused more on field instruction this workshop is being offered for those with a high interest in learning more about digital workflow and post-processing techniques.
Conceptual photography and creating abstracts of common subjects will be points of discsussion. We will create abstract art with flowing water and photograph ocean views, beach scenes, patterns and textures in the sand, marshes and plant life. You can expect to see several migratory bird species at this time of year. There may be opportunities to photograph the fabled Chincoteague ponies, Sika Deer, and other wildlife that inhabits the island.
The workshop includes instructional presentations that will inspire and explain how to make dramatic and beautiful photographs at this location. There will be plenty of field instruction that will cover techniques like capturing and freezing motion, long exposures and other creative aspects. A constructive critique of the participant's photographs will complete the workshop.
