"These seminars are for all nature photographers who want to learn how to make better images. Artie will describe the methods and techniques he has developed and used since 1983. His comments on equipment (including and especially digital equipment), autofocus, light, composition and image design, and sharpness and his tips on getting close to wild subjects and photographing action and behavior will benefit everyone with a telephoto lens who wishes to dramatically improve the quality of their images. Since going all-digital in November 2002, Artie has--in short order--become a digital photography and Photoshop expert. His approach to optimizing images is to create a master file of excellent quality in the shortest possible time. He will share his workflow and numerous Digital and Photoshop tips during the Sunday sessions."
