So, you’ve mastered your camera, the exposure triangle and your composition are solid.  Now, you’ve taken the weekend off, time away from work and your family, and have driven several miles to your favorite location.  You know the sunrises and sunsets will be magical over those mountains and that gorgeous waterfall, you can’t wait!  You shoot and you shoot and you shoot.  Then you look at your images on the camera’s monitor.  Your heart sinks.  You can’t believe your eyes . . . flat and lifeless.  You load them to your laptop, the same thing . . . boring!  They’re sharp and they’re well exposed, according to the histogram. Your composition seems creative and inviting, but they just look dead!  That pop and brilliance you expect are just not there. OMG . . . what have you missed?

As you drive back home your mind races between how you could have screwed up these images and maybe a career in plumbing or pest control would be more rewarding. STOP . . . HOLD ON . . . TAKE A BREATH! You’re only halfway done. You just need some good ol’ post-processing in the digital darkroom. Don’t worry . . . I can help!

As silly as this story may sound, I have heard it repeatedly. Shooting in RAW, images will appear flat, but that is a good thing because it you that you’ve captured a lot of data! All you must do now is bring out the best in each image. How you say? I’m glad you asked.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Career photographer and portrait artist, I have turned my weekend getaways into educational workshops. A friend once asked me if they could come along on one of my "Road Trips". The name just kinda stuck. So I invite you to join me on one of these adventures . . . you will have the time of your life.

I'll work with you at whatever level you are comfortable with. No matter your experience, I can help you with your equipment needs. I'll also help you with your camera habits including pre-visualization, composition, the exposure triangle and more. Then we can dig-in to post-processing and enhancing your images. I am thrilled to share with you my 40+ years of experience, tips, tricks, techniques, and bad jokes.

I have been a professional photographer for over 40+ years and have photographed almost everything from babies to brides, families to CEO's and bread knives to buildings. But my deepest passion is to spend time with Mother Nature. If you'd like to see what you might create check out my fine art web site at JeffJohnsonFineArt.com
