$80.00 workshop fee, includes manual and resource links
Tom Easop has spent a lifetime photographing the underwater world. From this experience, he has developed Core Concepts and Cardinal Rules to optimize underwater image making. Using these concepts and rules led to unique, optimized practices, techniques and workflows. In this workshop I will teach you my concepts and rules as well as the resulting “hands-on” skills you can immediately put into practice. Organized chronologically before, during, and after a dive trip the topics include:
- What to prioritize in your equipment budget
- Preparing your equipment for travel and use
- Best practices before and after the dive
- Speed light vs. continuous light, tripods, backscatter tactics
- White point(s)
- Focus tactics – not wasting depth of field
- Automatic vs. manual exposure tactics
- Recognizing your luck, learning from ‘mistakes’
- Making ‘mistakes’, making your own ‘luck’
- Combining techniques
- Safe capture storage
- File types, Pixel Geography, color space & ‘The Color Dimension’
- Lightroom vs. Photoshop, and other applications for post-processing
- Combining digital tools
- HDR, image masking
- HRLA USM, sharpening
- Non destructive workflow
- Cataloguing images & session folders
- Plus planning, testing, and practicing
This is by far the most valuable workshop I have ever developed, imparting the most important information I’ve learned through photography and retouching schools, shooting and print making workshops, research, underwater camera building, and most of all – 45 years of experience of underwater photography. It will be time well spent for any underwater photographer or videographer regardless of skill level.
