About the Course
This course will focus on unique methods for creating unusual images in the landscape.
  
Click on images for full-size view.
You will learn how to use long exposures, paint with light, compose with color and black and white and last but not least when and why to use certain focal length lenses. For example, Marc will teach his unique method for how he uses his tilt/shift lenses to build a composition.
Marc will be sharing his photoshop experience as well to obtain full dynamic range fine art prints of the chosen images.
You will learn the power of the sliders in ACR as well as quick masking techniques combined with curves to enhance such images so no one else will notice.
