SUMMARY:Black and White: The Timeless Aesthetic with Peter Rees
DESCRIPTION:On this course we are going to explore the Karangahake Gorge\, in all its glory\, through black and white photography.  Why black and white?  Well there are many reasons but from my teaching perspective the art of picture-making has a clarity and almost surreal power when it comes to dealing with the formal elements of light\, form\, tone\, and composition in the absence of colour. We will look at the way removing colour can provide an artistic freedom in conveying mood through layering\, tone\, texture and dramatic light.   \n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the post processing sessions\, I will reveal ways of using ‘pools of light’ to further enhance the creative and dramatic possibilities of your images.  On how to enhance depth in images through the manipulation of light\, contrast and texture. I say this obvious fact so often\, the light at the end of the tunnel doesn’t exist without the darkness of the tunnel itself. The dramatic effect of a simple pathway or track can be made so much more powerful when you start to apply some basic tonal dynamics to enhance your images. These techniques we will explore in some depth. \n\n\n\n\n\nWith black and white photography you are almost transported to another visual world. We will consider its timeless power and how it will also feed back into all aspects of improving your visual awareness and broader range of photographic skills. \n\n\n\n\nThe workshop will be led by Peter Rees. For nearly 40 years he has been engaged in fine art as a painter and photographer\, with more than 20 exhibitions and vast experience teaching and leading workshops. He brings a painter’s eye to photography and will offer fresh perspectives on how to render the world around us. \n\n\n\nThe Workshop is based at the Pedlars Motel in Paeroa where accommodation (twin share) is provided. It will commence at 2.00 pm on Friday 20 March and finish at approximately 3.00 pm on Sunday 22 March. This is very close to our key locations in the Karangahake Gorge. \n\n\n\nHealth and Safety: We will be accessing the tracks in the Karangahake Gorge area. These are relatively level and well formed with some steps where the tracks change level. No long walks are involved. There is a swing bridge from the main car park at the Gorge to the river and tracks. The access way to the Owharoa Falls could be slippery after wet weather.  \n\n\n\nSmall Print: Accommodation provided is twin share\, two per room\, segregated sexes. All meals\, snacks and water are to your account. We will have a pay your own way dinner on Saturday night and will facilitate a joint dinner on Friday night. \n\n\n\nMaximum: 12 participants

SUMMARY:Do You See What I See? with Noelle Bennett
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered just how much single elements in your images influence the impact of the complete work? If an element is seen as dynamic and a colour as positive\, does it follow that your whole image will be dynamic and positive? And why is it that some people just don’t see your images the same way you do? Why can’t they seem to see what you see? \n\n\n\nIf you have ever wondered about any of the above and now I’ve piqued your interest\, then please come and join me for a weekend of interesting discoveries and discussions combined with lots of photography which I hope will ultimately lead to you understanding the why. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is not genre-specific – in fact the more varied people’s genre preferences are\, the more interesting the weekend will be. The focus of the sessions will be intriguing discoveries and fun\, by virtue of your participation. \n\n\n\nOriginally Noelle Bennett trained and worked as a classical musician\, a career that spanned about 15 years which she credits with having a huge influence on her approach to photography even though it would be many years before she first picked up a camera. \n\n\n\nA Fellow of the Photographic Society of New Zealand\, her work has been recognised on both national and international stages. Noelle describes herself as a nature lover who makes photographs. She sees her camera as both her paint brush and her canvas\, granting her the luxury of self-expression that is also heavily influenced by music. Her hope is that she may help people begin to see that even the most mundane subject matter can be both fascinating and beautiful. \n\n\n\nWho should attend?This workshop will be perfect for anybody who enjoys photography of any type irrespective of how experienced they may be. What is most important is an open and enquiring mind. \n\n\n\nScheduleThe workshop will be held at the Whanganui Camera Club\, 2 Handley St\, Gonville\, Whanganui and starts at 4pm on Friday 20 th March with introductions and a short general discussion about the next two days. After dinner we will resume at 7.30 for an inspirational presentation ofNoelle’s work. Then sessions will run from 9am to 4.30pm on Saturday and from 9am to 3.00pm on Sunday. During this time we will look at: \n\n\n\n\nour individual perceptions of art\n\n\n\nwhat criteria are most important to each of us when viewing images – criteria such as uniqueness\, points of difference\, technique and technical ability\, story-telling etc – and what difference\, if any\, those preferences make\n\n\n\ncrafting stories through photography; trying to establish how it’s done and whether all images do actually tell stories\n\n\n\nwhat influences how we create our images. \n\n\n\n\nTime for play and exploration will happen via photographic challenges which will take place at various points throughout the course of the workshop. Each challenge will last for about an hour. There will be time allocated for post-processing your favourite image(s) from those challenges. All the images will be shared with the group as the grand finale to the weekend. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will be limited to 12 people.

SUMMARY:Composites Masterclass by Helen McLeod
DESCRIPTION:Creating believable and seamless photo composites in Photoshop is a complex skill\, and many common faults can break the illusion. This workshop is intended for people that have used Photoshop to create composites already but want to improve their technique with the use of: \n\n\n\n\nConsistent lighting and temperature across components\n\n\n\nMatching shadows (tone\, direction and diffusion)\n\n\n\nPerspective (consistent vanishing points\, relative scale and depth)\n\n\n\nManaging cut-outs\n\n\n\nConsistent colour grading\, grain and sharpness between components\n\n\n\nAuthentic lighting of foreground elements with respect to the background\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop will be run by Helen McLeod\, a Fellow of the Photographic Society of New Zealand\, an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society holding a Gold Portfolio Distinction with the Photographic Society of America. She has been tutoring photography for many years in tertiary institutions and runs six Landscape workshops annually in central Otago. Her personal work is principally in creative composites where she has won many awards \n\n\n\nThe workshop will be held in Taupo (Vintage Car Club Rooms) \n\n\n\n\nDay One will be primarily a teaching day; and\n\n\n\nDay Two will focus on critiquing examples of participant’s work and suggestions for improvement.\n\n\n\n\nThe fee includes all tuition but not meals and accommodation. We will meet on Saturday night for a pay your own way dinner at a local restaurant. During the weekend there is a very good café open close by.
