Big sky

Today I went on a printing course at The Imaging Warehouse in Stratford. I took a few shots in the lecture as potential blips but when I came outside, this amazing sky greeted me so I couldnt ignore it!

The course was run by Bob Moore FRPS and was very wide ranging - covering printer settings in Photoshop & the Epson R3000 printer driver as well as Photoshop techniques.

Advanced B&W techniques were also covered including Silver Efex Pro.

It's interesting having attended a few courses, to see how the 'experts' differ on quite fundamental things. I was really surprised that he started saying that we should always get it right in camera (fair enough) but then advocated auto white balance which is contradictory to what I have been told elsewhere. Anyway, I think it's great to learn the theory of why we do things and then make up our own methods based on this knowledge.
