New England Color: Field Techniques for Great Pictures - Course Preview

Hi, I'm Jim Zuckerman. I've been taking pictures for 40 years, writing books, writing magazine articles, leading photo tours, giving seminars. In all that time I have tried to impart what I know to students in a very clear and concise manner. We're gonna go out into the field and I will be demonstrating several things: how I think, how I set my camera up, exposure situations and how I handle them, and I'd like you to think of this as a personal workshop between just you and me because in essence I'll be talking to you. I'll be going over the things that I think are the most important aspects of picture taking, both technical and artistic, that you need to know. And what I'd like to discuss the most are challenges that I faced and how I overcome them. And then I will also go into some Photoshop tips, some images that I have manipulated to try to stimulate your thinking along those lines because there is so much you can do in photography today. It's great time to be alive and to be a photographer.
