PPSOP Online Landscape Photography Course
Techniques for Mastering Creative Landscape and Nature Photography
an 8-week on-line photography course and critique
Join Darwin Wiggett and Mark Degner for this on-line course designed to help you become a better landscape and nature photographer.
Course Description
Have you ever been on vacation in an amazingly beautiful location, snapped loads of photos of the impressive place you are visiting, only to find the resulting images you made to be utterly boring? What happened? Why didn't all that beauty translate into stunning photos?
It isn't enough to just be in a fantastic place to create exciting images; you also need to know how to translate your three dimensional (and five senses) experience of the place onto a two dimensional, visual medium called photography. This course will teach you the basic and advanced techniques for creating professional quality landscape, nature, macro and outdoor photos that will excite the eyes of other viewers and better represent your experience of the place.
In this course, Darwin Wiggett and Mark Degner will give you all the techniques necessary to take your photos from 'vacation snapshots' to mouth-watering, professional quality photographic imagery.
Best of all, great landscape and nature images can be made as easily in your own backyard as they can in the grand vistas of the National Parks. Darwin and Mark will show you how to take better outdoor photos no matter where your travels take you.
This 8-week course will cover the following topics:
The necessary and most appropriate gear needed to do professional landscape and nature work with the ultimate goal to sell your images for publication or as photographic prints.
Learning to see - The art of communicating with light - how to see photos in places where others see nothing.
Capturing the light - essential outdoor photography techniques including understanding contrast and learning to work with contrast for better photos, manipulating contrast by adding light to the shadows with fill flash, reflectors and light painting techniques, and manipulating contrast by subtracting light to the highlights through diffusion and filter use.
