VLOG # 3: National Geographic Seminar on Landscape and Nature Photography in Houston

 
Recently (about 3 weeks back) , I happened to attend a Seminar on Landscape and Nature Photography by National Geographic. Many people attended this seminar. It was a whole day event. It was organized in University of St. Thomas in Houston. The guest speakers were well known National Geographic Contributors - Michael Melford and Eddie Soloway.
It was organized in 2 sessions. In the morning session the first topic that discussed was how to inspire to take Nature Photography. The subsequently What are the skills a Nature Photographer should possess?, how to keep the gear simple.
In the afternoon session ,both Photographers discuss their assignments; Michael's experiences are unique and his images are stunning, out of the world. His sense of humor is par excellence. Then Eddie has discussed how to break out of the box and try taking pictures in a different way.
Overall it was a good experience. I discusses more details in my following VLOG.

Shoot in RAW to save Photos



Here in this video , I show my workflow which I generally follow for post production of my pictures. I always shoot in RAW , so it gives me the power to fix the picture if I made a mistake (say I used a wrong white balance while shooting). I can recover the details from darker areas and blown out areas using RAW files. If one shoots in JPEG , there are significant limitations for enhancing the picture.
