Tonight I will be teaching what I call the digital darkroom or better known as the digital workflow. The digital workflow is really several basic steps
- Downloading your photos – Developing the film roll
- Critiquing the photos – printing the contact sheet
- Editing the photos – Working in the darkroom
- Printing the photos – Printing the final copy
These are the basic steps which I teach but there are several other steps needed in any good workflow.
- Backing up your photos
- Formating the card
I don’t teach these steps because although are important it is really up to the individual when and how they are going to use these steps. Anyway hope to see you all in class tonight and remember this.
- A bad photo begets an OK photo
- An OK photo begets a good photo
- A good photo begets a great photo
- A great photo begets a WOW photo
- A WOW photo begets a WHOA WOW photo.
Happy picture taking day.
Lyon Arboretum
Ginger flower from Lyon Arboretum
The Beginning Photography and the Applied Photography classes visited Lyon Arboretum in Manoa Valley, Oahu this past Saturday. Even though Cindy and I were not able to attend the photo shoot here is a photo taken from the last time I was at Lyon Arboretum.
The ginger flower was nicely back lit from the sun when I captured this shot. For those who have never been to Lyon Arboretum it is a beautiful place to visit and have tons of fun taking photos of the area. There are some simple trails and some harder trails which you can hike and capture some really great photos.
Scott Kelby’s Photographers Code of Ethic
Several years ago Scott Kelby came up with a “Photographers Code of Ethics“. Even though I don’t really agree 100% with what he says it is good reading and really a good guideline to start from to come up with your own code of ethics.
