I’m pleased to announce a two-session workshop for February 2012 on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. My SHOOT – EDIT – POST – PRINT workshop will include a field instruction and photo walk session on February 18 at Burke’s Beach from 5 to 7PM. The emphasis will be on optimal camera settings and effective use of the DSLR camera for capturing skyscapes at sunset as well as close-up details of dunes and beach.

The second session, The Digital Photographer, will be on February 23 from 6 to 8:30PM at my studio location on Hilton Head. Here I will guide participants through my process for digital image file editing and management, step-by-step, using my favorite tools and techniques for optimal results when making fine art prints and posting to web sites. I will be utilizing the images captured by participants during session one at Burke’s Beach.

This is a complete workflow program that goes over tips and techniques for artistic composition and capture as well as the technical skills for beset use of both DSLR camera and image editing software. The sessions are limited to eight participants. The cost of each session is $45 or both for $80. Attendance at session one is not required for session two.

Call 843-842-9200 or jim@jimcrotty.com for more details or to register for the workshop.

The Moon plays a prominent role in some of my most popular landscape photographs. I’m always eager to see where the full Moon will rise each month and try to plan accordingly. I love working with this mystical element in my landscapes, whether it be the rolling hills of southeastern Ohio or the tidelands of South Carolina. Through the years I’ve learned a few tricks that help me gain proper exposure of what can be a very bright subject against a dark background. The following Photographic Moment video segment includes my tips on how to photograph the Moon.
