HDR High Dynamic Range  Exposure Bracketing

HDR High Dynamic Range Exposure Bracketing

Saturday 30 November
Newtown Linford - 4pm - 2 Hours
Leicester Photography Group
Anthony Tanton
Starting from the basics, this class will focus on how to take multiple images and then blend them into one final image. This is an essential skill for landscape, architecture, and interiors - and can be used in many other areas, even portraiture if you're patient enough!HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, so meaning there are a lot of values between the darkest and brightest parts of the final image. This allows you to have an image where ALL of the image is exposed correctly. Like when you're trying to photograph a sunset, but you have to choose which part is exposed correctly, the sunset, or the landscape. Perhaps photographing interiors you can't balance the outside in the windows, with the inside. We'll be going over how to manage these situations.

Getting out of Auto, Guide to Priority Modes, The Exposure Triangle, & Shooting in full Manual

Sunday 09 February
Newtown Linford - 10am - 3 Hours
Leicester Photography Group
Anthony Tanton
Teaching you how to fully control your images for correct exposure and some artistic expression and flare! We'll be starting out by looking at what your camera can do, and how you can make the camera do some of the work for you, while you still get to create the look you want.
Once we understand the two main settings for artistic expression, we'll talk about the exposure triangle - Aperture, Shutter Speed, and the third item we have been ignoring, ISO.
Once we understand the effect that Aperture and Shutter Speed can have on an image, and how we can use that to create a specific look, we'll add in ISO, and switch out to full manual.

The goal of this class is to teach you how to create the image you're looking for, getting proper exposure, what the main settings on your camera do, how to use those settings to control the image, and hopefully give you the ability and confidence to start shooting in manual mode more often.

This is a restored property in the RHS garden at Harlow Carr . Wonderful place but we were a little disappointed to find it wasn?t a pub and, after a warm day in the garden, that we couldn?t get a cold beer. Still it provided a nice subject for a pen and wash in m Yorkshire sketchbook.

Oil sketch, 11?x14?. This is my first attempt with oils after a 38 year career as an exhibit designer. Started with quick turp washes, then built up some detail. I was going to continue, but I kind of like it the way it is. Anxious to start another, and having fun.

Title or Location: Wooden Wave
This piece is acrylic on wood. I used some scrap pieces I had cut from the end of a wooden board I was using. The actual wave and cliff are from where the knot in the board had separated. As soon as I saw it I knew what I was going to do with it. This is two pieces of wood, individually painted and then screwed together. I love upcycling these scraps.
