The Last Pixel Show, Workshops

Out to Sea-Rye Playland

The Last Pixel Show iPhone/iPad workshops are up and running for 2012. If you want to simply take family snapshots, straight ahead landscapes or explore your artistic side this is the place to learn. The Last Pixel Show starts with the basic set up of the iPhone and explores capture, resolution, folder structure, transfer of images and various applications that allow one to mold an image to personal taste.

At this time Last Pixel is offering two location workshops, Napa, California (April) and The Palouse (August) in Washington State. CLICK HERE and get more information on our website.

There are other options available if you can't make on of the locations websites. See below for links to local and online workshops:

"If I could I would take every workshop Teri Lou and Harry offer. Not only did I learn tremendously from their collective, amazing talents, but I also came away believing in my art and vision. Since I first owned an iphone I have been using it as one of my cameras. Now it is my camera of choice thanks to the skills I learned from both Teri Lou and Harry. I love how they presented the workshop materials and the camaraderie between the other workshop participants was also a highlight for me! I can't wait to take another workshop from them!

Here are some thoughts that you can use: Harry and Teri manage to pack a lot of good information into their workshops. They make the info meaningful because they are very patient and generous teachers, willing to work one on one with students to address specific areas of interest while also giving a overview of this constantly evolving subject.

When I first captured this image I had no idea what to do with it - it seemed like one of those images you capture and then never seem to do anything with. Possibly in a month or two I might discover something that I think works with an image like this but mostly likely it gets lost in the myriad of images on my computer and never sees the light of day.

Long story short I started playing with FX Photo Studio's Pencil Paint presets, then added that to the new upgrade for Dynamic Light. Something started to feel right about this image so I stuck with it and added a few new moves to my workflows - something that will pay off later on in spades.

Applications used for this image are:

ProHDR Hand Held - three vertical Images
Autostich
Artista Haiku
Iris
Filterstorm  for toning corrections and frame
FX Photo Studio for pencil sketch
Photoforge for sharpening


If you are interested in learning to more creative with your iphone-imagery I am teaching a two day workshop at Peters Valley Craft Center (link below). This class will cover from capture to print and everything in between to include printing and capturing images. Here is the link to the class:
