Intro To Studio Lighting & Metering: 2 of 2  $35

Wednesday, February 4th, 7-8pm Pacific

This is a continuation of the first Webinar.  We'll use the knowledge we learned last week on metering and setting up a basic two-light scenario.  We'll add another light, change our backdrop and show you different lighting effects.  Then we'll delve into one of the most challenging lighting set-ups:  High-Key.  We'll take the mystery out of this popular look and show you how simple it really can be.

• A Three Light Set-Up for Textured or Colored Backgrounds
• Working with High-Key

Image Review & Critique $35 (class size limited to 10)

Wednesday, February 11th, 7-8pm Pacific

When you sign up for one of these special Webinar sessions, you can submit 1-3 images prior to the start of the session.  During the Webinar, I review as many of the images as I can for the benefit of the entire group.  I'll talk about what works with the image, what doesn't work, how it can be improved, and show you how to make the best of the image in Photoshop.

(Depending on the number of participants, I may or may not get to review every image that is submitted, but I will review at least one image from each participant.)

I'll cover a few methods to convert your images to black and white, and I'll show you how to make your color images pop, both with and without the use of actions.  Speaking of Actions, I'll show you how to find them, install them, use them, even create your own to speed up your workflow.

HI. I know that it said post comments here, I hope questions are ok too. I am really excited about taking some of the webinars, especially the studio lighting class. 35$ is a great price. However, I am SO incredibly strapped for cash, that I know that I will have to wait until it will be offered for viewing at the cheaper price. I guess I am wondering what that cheaper price is and when it will be offered. Thanks.
