Digital photography has changed the industry and the practice of photography in very profound ways. The art and hobby of photography have been rejuvenated and more people are photographing today then ever before. It is certainly a liberating technology that democratizes photography in many ways and allows millions to enjoy photography for self expression, art, commercial endavours, and as a great hobby.
Inherent in this great technology is some level of increased complexity, primarily stemming from the amazing capabilities of today’s cameras and photo editing software. People interested in photography today can get information and support from variety of sources like the Internet, magazines, friends, local camera clubs and the like. A great opportunity to learn the techniques of digital photography and practice it with peers and professionals is coming to Boston. Digital Days Photography Workshops, which travels to 18 cities every year will hold a two-day event in April 18-19, 2009. It is a great opportunity for Rhode Island photographers, Boston is only an hour away and you will get a chance to work with and learn from three great instructors at the workshop.
The event is organized in two segments, the first day is about the digital fundamentals, photography basics like composition, and basic digital workflow after the shoot, and digital photography tips. The second day builds on the fundamentals covered on day one and continues with a live shoot session, image critique, setting up your workstation and workflow, and advanced editing.
The event is presented by the well-known photography magazine, Popular Photography, and sponsored in Boston by Hunt’s Photo and Video. Judging by the program and the workshop team, it promises to be a very rewarding experience for anyone wishing to get to the heart of the digital photography and its rich and enabling environment.
