Workshop

Learn how to create both HDR (high dynamic range) and panoramic images. Your days at sea will include classes on both techniques as well as instruction on Photoshop and management of your images. Take your new knowledge on land during your days in port. Excursions will be suggested for their photographic potential with instructors leading excursions in each port of call. Evenings allow time for critique sessions and slideshows. You'll receive copies (a $320 value) of both Photomatix Pro Plus for HDR creation and PTGui Pro, a panoramic stitching program.
