A look at the
Sharpness Masterclass
| When
Photographers Resource started it was the newsletter of Camera Images.
Later it split away to become a separate operation.
Camera Images was the main training provider
for advanced users and professionals using Nikon cameras.
With the recession the cost of selling
courses exceeded the revenue they produced so Camera Images decided not to
take on new clients, but to still provide training to it's existing
customer base.
The courses mentioned in the articles
below are no longer available unless you are an existing client of Camera
Images. |
For those who have mastered
the basics of photography, and want to now move on to look at aspects in greater
detail there are the Masterclasses. Masterclasses are a day long, and are about
40% theory and 60% practical experiments to get to understand the application
fully. They are run one to one, and you will usually be able to fix a day that
is convenient to you.
The sharpness Masterclass
covers a very wide range or topics associated with both taking sharper images,
understanding why images may not appear sharp under some conditions and the
software and other solutions to overcome this. One of the major areas is depth
of field and although this is covered on the Hands On A Nikon day, time is not
available to look at this in such depth. Those who attend the sharpness
Masterclass are given a booklet containing depth of field tables, as well as
several other tables, and shown in detail how to use this information to both
understand when problems may exist and how to cope with more challenging
situations.
They also look at other
techniques that allow you to combine parts of images to gain depth of field that
cannot be obtained by a single photograph.
So if you would like to have
sharper images and avoid some images being out of focus, and particularly if it
occurs but you don’t understand why, then this is the Masterclass for you.
