Regarding Workshops in General, What Do We Actually Do There?

We will certainly get to these topics as well

Planning

Composition

Camera control

WORKING WITH FILTERS and a TRIPOD

HARMONY OF COLORS, LIGHTS AND SHADOWS

A RICH POSTPROCESS LESSON

PLANNING

We will show you how to get good photos, and not just by chance, for this we have a series of programs that I will be happy to show and explain.

BASICS OF COMPOSITION

Without composition, no photo is good enough. In short, it can be explained as the content and arrangement of elements within the space of the photograph. Well, what kind of landscape photo would it be without a "smooth" composition.

Simple examples of composition where the lines lead directly to the main object of the photo. This makes the photo more engaging and interesting.

CAMERA CONTROL

Iso, čas, clona, ale nie je len to. It is necessary to know your camera in detail. Today, cameras hide countless intelligent functions that are good to know because they can be used in landscape photography and simplify the process of taking photos.

WORKING WITH FILTERS AND A TRIPOD

But yes, you also need to know how to set up the tripod correctly, it's not a rule, and above all safely. You see the water surf and the owner ran away from it 😀. This time it turned out well, but the next day he was not so lucky. We will show you how to work with filters and explain from A to Z which filter affects what, and how to calculate the correct exposure time. How to creatively "stretch" exposure with or without a filter.

HARMONY OF COLORS, LIGHTS AND SHADOWS

Color, light and shadow are the spice of photography. Colors must "play" together, be in harmony. The light should be soft and diffused in the right "places", exactly where we want the viewer's eye to look. Shadows? On the contrary, the shadows should be where there is something that we would like to "throw away" from the photo.

A RICH POSTPROCESS LESSON

On the contrary, the shadows should be where there is something that we would like to "throw away" from the photo. Whether someone likes it or not. And it is not a product of this time, a long time ago when photographers were developing photos, they wanted to distinguish themselves by a different driver when developing, or they cut out mountain tops from cardboard or paper and tried to achieve some kind of exposure bracketing. The desire to have different, prettier and more interesting photos has been there since the beginning. However, it is necessary to be careful not to touch bad taste and kitsch, which can happen very easily with careless editing.

  • shot no. 1, the given foreground did not fit in the photo in portrait, it was too wide. So I decided to take pictures horizontally, with the fact that I move each part of the shot upwards
  • shot no. 2, with the fact that I moved the camera a bit higher
  • shot no. 3, again a little higher, so that I have the whole scene in the frame
  • shot no. 4, shot of the stars about 30 minutes later, in the same direction
  • shot No. 5, then an exact connection and adjustment to the desired format will occur, in this case 2:3
  • shot no. 6, when the blending is done, the actual process of adjusting the photo to the final will come

This is just one of the many examples that will be covered on the course. I will show all my know-how, without any secrets.

A few more examples of photos, before and after editing….
