Gatorland is pleased to announce the first 2010 Workshop Weekend for beginner to intermediate photographers. On April 24-25 we will be hosting two seperate workshops to help you not only capture the best images possible, but how to make them better through post-processing techniques. Our guest instructor for our April Workshop Weekend will be Robert Amoruso of Wildscape Images, an Arthur Morris “Birds as Art” approved instructor and workshop leader.

Day 1 - Saturday April 24, 2010 - Field Technique (in-the-field and classroom training)

The Field Technique workshop has been specially designed to help photographers improve their image quality; both in composition and exposure under the direction of an experienced professional nature photographer. This workshop will help you to understand the importance of certain outdoor photography techniques such as composition, backgrounds, image edges, head and light angle, how to use fill-flash to tame high-contrast images, and how to use your camera’s histogram and exposure compensation to obtain the correct exposure.

Day 2 - Sunday April 25, 2010 - Workflow Technique (classroom training)

The Workflow Technique workshop has been specifically designed to help photographers improve their image quality through post processing techniques under the direction of an experienced professional nature photographer. This workshop will help you to understand which images are keepers and which are not, image editing, RAW conversion, and Photoshop post-processing and resizing techniques.

Workshop pricing is set at a special introductory rate of only $50 per person (per day) and includes access to the Gatorland Rookery for that day. You may purchase one day or both, however; space is limited and tickets will be sold on a first-come, first served basis. For your convenience, tickets may be purchased on-line at our webstore… simply bring in a printout of your confirmation upon arrival. Be sure to choose the Free Shipping option when purchasing on-line, as we will not be mailing the tickets to you. Tickets will also be available at our Admissions Gate at the entrance to Gatorland (subject to availablity).
