This is one of the pictures I took in Santa Fe. "Mastering Your Flash" was the course title. Frankly, the picturesthat I took this week were the best ones I have ever taken in my life.
I was so ignorant of photography before I attended this workshop (and still somewhat ignorant). I took a couple of ohoto classes at MICA taught by a very nice man, but all he taught us was ISO and Photoshop. I wasn't considering shutter spped and F-stop because I didn't know to do so. The other MICA students obviously knew this because their pics looked great, while mine looked like shit. Now I know why.
The instructor for the Santa Fe workshop didn't want us to use Photoshop, so these aren't Photoshopped. She said, learn how to take a good pic, then use PS as an aid. Relying too much on Photoshop is the wrong way to become a photographer, she also told us.
Julia Dean was the instructor. A great teacher, take her if you ever get a chance.
