Mastery of Landscape Series with Stephen Johnson - Iceland

The Details
The advent of the digital age of photography provides unique opportunities for field photography instruction, reviewing work on camera screens as it is made, examining digital exposure, composition and emotional impact. Topics covered will be optimal digital camera use in a variety of formats, file size and printing considerations. We will open files, review success, constantly going back in the field putting into practice lessons learned.
Group evening reviews will also be conducted using digital projection. Digital exposure and dynamic range, RAW processing, color management, printers, papers and pigments, b&w and color, composition, and amazement-all will be part of our ambitious excursion into the evolving world of digital photography.
We'll spend our activity packed week out and about in the landscape, sometimes rising before dawn and lingering for the last moment of twilight. Vistas encompassing hundreds of square miles of volcanic mountains to much more intimate settings will make the trip very worthwhile for photography.
The trip is designed to be a complete immersion in landscape photography and its digital evolution. We will discuss technical and aesthetic issues, tapping into your emotional response to this landscape, working toward images that are uniquely your own.
Individual problem solving is a high priority in my workshop program. Plan to bring some of your work to give me an idea of how you see, what you are happy with, and photographs that indicate problems you are encountering.
