Ycad­emy Dig­i­tal Pho­tog­ra­phy Sem­i­nar I

This week-end the Ycad­emy Dig­i­tal Pho­tog­ra­phy Sem­i­nar Vol­ume I will take place, as usual online in our Live Meet­ing Conferencing.

Please find here below the Agenda.

Reg­is­tered Par­tic­i­pants are advised per­son­ally and receive by email the down­load links for the mate­ri­als needed.

This is as usual a smash­ing pack of lit­er­a­ture, soft­ware and utilities.

I am look­ing for­ward to a great and fruit­ful Sem­i­nar with smash­ing results for all par­tic­i­pants. The advan­tage belongs to those who have par­tic­i­pated in our pre-seminar calls and taken some fair advan­tage; how­ever we will start with very basics for the ben­e­fit of all par­tic­i­pants and to fill in also all those who work with recordings.

Step by step we will evolve on the path of suc­cess — together we are unbeatable!

Goals:

Sched­ule

Sat­ur­day and Sun­day 24 –25, April 2010 from 1 pm Lon­don Time to 9 pm Lon­don Time; short breaks and a 1 hour break for lunch or din­ner at 6 pm Lon­don Time.

Mate­ri­als

Bring along your cam­era and pho­tos you have taken in the past. The pho­tos should be in the largest pos­si­ble cam­era out­put for­mat. Semi­oman­tics Evolution.

Dif­fi­culty Level

The sem­i­nar addresses begin­ners to advanced pho­tog­ra­phers; in fact it is for ordi­nary peo­ple who want to achieve extra­or­di­nary results with their ordi­nary cam­era. There is no need for advanced knowl­edge or pro­fes­sional mate­r­ial. The sem­i­nar will step by step intro­duce to dig­i­tal pho­tog­ra­phy and cover a sim­ple work­flow from shoot­ing to pub­lish­ing. While doing so we will make some escapades into advanced edit­ing and pub­lish­ing fields.

We plan to hold a Dig­i­tal Pho­tog­ra­phy Ycad­emy II for advanced users later in the year, where we will focus on media design, media encod­ing, post-production and advanced pub­lish­ing meth­ods. No date has been set as per yet.
