Image Critique & Post Processing

On several evenings we’ll gather as a group in our accommodation, in a relaxing environment and critique and edit some images. In the critique sessions we’ll take a few images from each of the participants on the tour and critique them. This offers a couple of benefits. The first being you’re able to see how others view the world, and helps us to open our eye to other possibilities. The second is to understand ways that you can see or approach your photography, a different way to look at things.

We’ll also do some editing. From basic techniques in Lightroom / Camera Raw, to some more advanced techniques in Photoshop. We’ll edit images to draw out the intended story in the capture and bring further life to our images.

These will be informal sessions, done in a relaxed setting on my / our computers without projectors.
