You always want to get the best photo possible “in camera,” but it’s common to want to touch things up after the fact. Bird photography also usually generates an enormous number of photos to look through to find the keepers. This class will introduce the core concepts of post-processing your digital photos, including a practical workflow and easy-to-follow recipes for fixing up lighting, contrast, color balance, noise reduction and sharpening using tools such as Lightroom and Topaz. While not specific to those tools, we will use them as examples of what is possible.
About the Instructor:
Dave Read has been a wildlife photographer for over 25 years, both underwater and above ground. He is an avid birder and is excited to work with new birders to start them on the road toward enjoying and identifying the birds they see.
