Description
In his Advanced Photography Techniques DVD, Michael Andrew, a.k.a. Michael The Maven, has taken the very best content from his workshops of the same name and compiled it into a single comprehensive training program. This is a collection of tips and tricks Michael has learned over the course of 10 years, including all the little things that add up to a great image. Unlike his many other DVDs, this is not a crash course for beginners. Geared towards the intermediate or advanced photographer, it assumes a working knowledge of a camera and is designed to enable the improvement of skills. At the end of the video, Michael takes you on a modeling shoot and actually explains his thought process and shooting strategy as he works.Contents Lessons include but are not limited to the following:Camera Settings Speed QuizMonitor CalibrationAperture Lessons5 Ways to Be More CreativeAuto Exposure BracketingTack Sharp- Getting Sharper Images in CameraThe Parallelity ProblemPicture Style Settings and Tips50mm Lens ComparisonPainting with Light (Multiple Lessons)Pop A Flash - Basic and AdvancedThe WiggleThe Steady HandMichael's Secret Handheld Long Exposure TechniqueCamera Strap TipsLandscape BasicsLight and Dark- The Limits of Dynamic RangeGraduated FiltersFramingHow to Shoot FireworksMacro LessonsArtist vs PhotographerLet Them PlayJPEG MythsCropping to RecomposeCropping to Resize8 x 10 DilemmaPainting with DarkRemotesLens DistortionPinhole PhotographySelf-CritiqueTilt Shift LensesStar Trail PhotographyTexture Overlays in PhotoshopSky Cam Tips and TricksStop and Go Series (Multiple Lessons)Cleaning Your View FinderShooting in Manual2 Hand TechniqueShooting into SunlightPhotography JudoThe List of 10Scouting a LocationShooting with MichaelCamera Settings Speed Quiz Part 2
