Personalised ONLINE POST PRODUCTION Workshop

“I recently attended Flock Wildlife’s Lightroom Workshop and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
If you think you ‘might know the basics’, think again (and book in!)
David was extremely patient, attentive and was able to cater for individual needs and levels of understanding.
Thanks to this Flock Workshop, I have been able to edit what I thought were deletable images and my application of post-processing has increased significantly.”

Personalised ONLINE POST PRODUCTION Workshop

TAKING YOUR IMAGES TO THE NEXT LEVEL …. FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME!

Do you find yourself getting your photos onto your computer and maybe into Lightroom, but then struggle to know what to do next to enhance the image? Maybe you just can’t get it to look like it did at the time you shot it? Or perhaps you just don’t know how to crop it to create the best composition?
Maybe you’re not even sure how to get your images onto the computer and you’ve never heard the term “Back-up”?

If any of those sound like you then I guarantee that you will benefit from a few hours online with Dave.
There are so many You-tube videos online which are fantastic, but they often don’t answer exactly the right question that you have, or don’t speak to you where you are at right now.
That’s where a personally tailored learning session is invaluable, and will help you with the specific things that you struggle with the most.

Dave has been a professional photographer for almost 3 decades and has kept up with all the massive changes throughout photography in that time. His competition experience both as a judge and a winner, also provide invaluable experience that you can tap into without any interruption by someone else wanting to know something different. This session is all about you!

We can work through anything from the basics of file organisation, through to high end composition and image editing techniques using Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop, as well as additional software such as Topaz DeNoise or DxO Pure Raw.

We strongly believe that every image can be enhanced in some way in post production. Whether it’s simple exposure corrections or cropping, adding more sharpening or noise reduction, or much more.
We don’t subscribe to the lie myth that an image is only accurate “straight out of camera”

One of the most popular aims of this information-filled 3 hour Workshop, is to work through all the panels in the Develop module of Lightroom Classic, to help you understand which bits you need to use and which you don’t; and most importantly how to tweak an image to get the very best from it.

Some examples are:

Adobe Lightroom Classic - Develop mode
Basic Image Adjustments - including cropping, exposure, white balance, shadow/highlight
Benefits of Shooting RAW
Dispelling the SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera) myth
Advanced techniques using Adjustment Brushes & Masking
Basic Cloning & Spot Removal
Selective Colour editing
Noise Reduction & Sharpening
Composition

Cost : $295 - 3 hours

We use Google Meet for these workshops. All you need is good internet access and a web browser. Note Dave uses Apple computers although when it comes to editing in Lightroom the only differences with a PC are the keyboard shortcuts etc which will be explained.

“I recently completed the three-hour online post-production workshop with Dave Stowe from Flock Wildlife. This was an excellent opportunity to extend my Adobe Lightroom Classic skills and pick-up some great field photography tips. Dave was patient and clear and he provided some great insights into my photos that I could not have got from YouTube or other resources.
The big advantage of this workshop was that we worked with my images (and I chose some tricky ones) to understand if they could be rescued and if not, why not? We also worked at the edge of my Lightroom skills, so no time was wasted reviewing things that I already knew.

Highly recommended and many thanks!”
