Summer in Crested Butte: Alpine Vistas and Colorful Wildflowers in the Colorado Rockies
with Russ Burden and Nat Coalson

July 18-July 23, 2011

Join us for a photo workshop in the Colorado Rockies this summer!

We'll photograph wildflowers, aspen groves, pristine rivers and lakes against the spectacular mountain scenery around Crested Butte, Kebler and Ohio Passes and the ghost town of Gothic.

Your instructors are professional photographers Russ Burden and Nat Coalson, both of whom are experienced, caring teachers who have led successful photography workshops and classes for many years.

In the field, Russ and Nat will help you develop the skills needed to make photographs that fully express your vision. We'll focus on composition and creativity as well as mastering your camera's many functions. In the classroom, you'll learn how to use Adobe and Nik software for the ultimate creative control over your images. Throughout the workshop, hands-on demonstrations, lessons and group critique sessions will help you refine your image-making skills.

This workshop is open to photographers working at any level, however, you'll gain the greatest benefit if you have a good working knowledge of your camera. There will be plenty of personal attention for each student. Private and group critiques will be done throughout the workshop to help you develop your work significantly throughout the week. Every participant will learn professional tips and tricks that will take your photography to the next level!

Russ and Nat invite you to join us for a week of photography, friendship and fun in one of America's most beautiful locations!

Introduction to Color Management (for Photographers!)
Can you trust how your photos look on your monitor? Are all your prints coming out too dark, or with incorrect color? When you upload a file to a web site, do the colors tend to shift?

These are just a few of the problems many photographers face without adequate color management. Put simply, color management is a system of computer hardware and software working together to ensure consistent color from your photographs, regardless of the method used to view them.

In this free seminar, pro photographer and color management expert Nat Coalson will de-mystify color management and give you the knowledge and skills you need to get accurate, predictable, consistent color … all the time!

• Color Management Systems (CMS)
• Calibrating and profiling your displays
• Color spaces and device profiles
• … and much more.

With proper equipment and techniques, you CAN expect good color from your photos – quickly and easily!
