Kevin Fleming announces photography workshop in Lewes Jan. 21

Award-winning photographers Kevin Fleming, Tony Pratt and Pam Aquilani will host a one-day photography workshop from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 21, in the new Lewes Public Library. Attendance is limited to the first 40 registrants.

Participants will learn how Fleming, Pratt and Aquilani photograph portraits, landscapes, wildlife, action and aerials. They will help improve attendees’ knowledge of camera and lens elements (getting to know the camera) by covering camera basics including lens settings, shutter speeds, depth of field and shutter speed comparison, and how to correctly use a camera for better mastery of  photography.

Fleming will discuss light (natural and artificial), color, shape and composition in regard to photographing portraits, landscapes, wildlife, sports and macro subjects. The goal is to help develop and improve the photographer's eye and help make photographs rather than simply taking photographs. There will also be coverage of post-production practices - Photoshop basic tools, HDR samples including RAW files, effective cropping, use of crop tool, clone stamp, healing brush, layer masks and sharpening.

Price of the all-day seminar is $125, and participants will receive an autographed copy of Fleming's book "The Heart of America" or "Wild Delmarva" (a $50 value).

This seminar is for photographers with some experience who want to improve their skills. To get the most from this class, students should be using a digital single-lens reflex camera, not a point-and-shoot.
