Online Star Photography Post Processing Group Workshops

So you're ready to fully unleash the power of Photoshop & Lightroom, allowing you to take your star photography post processing to the next level?

This interactive online group workshop teaches all of the skills required to take an image ( straight out of the camera ) as shown on the left, and turn it into a finished product, as seen on the right. Upon signing up you'll even receive the photo we'll be working on during the workshop, allowing you to follow along at home.

A new photo is selected and post processed / edited for each workshop. This one is from a past workshop.

What You Will Learn

During our time together we will go through my entire star photography post processing workflow covering the skill sets as denoted below. Some of these skill sets may sound complicated, but I promise to make it an easy and educational learning experience.

Artistic Vision and Composition 

• Although many photographers consider this topic something you should only think about while out shooting, I truly believe it is important to apply it at all times during the photographic & creative process. 
• During our time together I'll touch on key ideas, and through processes that I use every time I sit down to post process a new photo.
• I'll also be discussing key points that I use while out shooting star photos as well. 
• You are of course free to ask questions at any time!

Learning Format

The class length will run approximately 2 hours.

I will be teaching this workshop in the form of a Google Hangout Video Conference. Google Hangouts allows me to share my screen, my voice, and important information with everyone as we work. ( It's like Skype, but better! )

I'll send you an email upon signup thoroughly explaining how to set everything up and how to prepare for the workshop. It's all very easy!

You will also receive a RAW photo file, the same as the one I'll be working on during the workshop. This will allow you to work along at home, as I teach the workshop.

Along the way we will stop for questions, discussion and further learning. You are free to stop me at any time during the workshop to ask questions or make comments.

There will be a question and answer session / overview at the end of the class where you can ask anything you like. We usually all talk, share photos, discuss photography, travel locations, and other fun stuff like that!
