http://bistiart.smugmug.com/Peoples Choice/ "Light, not objects, is the source of color!" Isaac Newton, 16th Century Creative Fine Art Magic Creating Fine Art Magic is an upward path to crafting award-winning digital nature photography. You will use light in some of nature's finest wilds to enhance unique landscapes. Digital magic lies in overcoming capture, software, presentation, and marketing barriers as your images are transformed to fine art. Our Magic Arc teaching path ~ simple talk about complex capture, digital darkroom procoessing, and presentation issues combined. We take you into gorgeous nature, show you incredible landscapes, teach you how to capture, pick keepers, and do global tone mapping, then give workshops for final digital darkroom presentation steps. Your goal – fine art images reaping rich rewards. Nature photography is all about capturing dynamic light! Naturally, you want to know 'What is dynamic light?' At dawn or dusk, light passes through miles of atmosphere. Whether direct or reflected, such light takes on atmospheric qualities. Light then paints nature in remarkable, dramatically vivid colors. As a nature photographer, I find dynamic light is the process of waiting for just the right moment during light's rapid change to capture a captivating landscape in nature’s wilds. Paths of Light is a book which illustrates lights transition from dawn to dusk. Many of these images come from the Four Corners area, southwestern United States. In competition with peers, judges, juried exhibitions, and magazine contest solicitations, we've been accorded awards and a magazine cover. We provide three venues to help you explore Paths of Light. We show you the image; many won competition awards. We describe the challenge, excitement, and emotion of each capture. And finally, we discuss technical aspects from capture to competition display. We lead Digital Photography Adventure Tours to 4 Corners of southwest US… White Pocket Adventures ~ Exotic, Highly Colored Sand Dunes Swirl like Candy Bisti Adventures ~ Step onto Mars and Photograph Surreal Hoodoo Shapes Anasazi Adventures ~ Photograph Anasazi Ruins in Natural Settings When you start with a camera and end up with an award-winning image - a lot of learning, careful thought, and deep emotion goes into this intricate process. We take you into wilderness, help you compose, talk about the best light, tell you the History and Heritage of each region… We present Lightroom 3 and CS4 Workshops. When the Light is NOT Right, we show you how to gather high dynamic range images (HDR) and panoramas, quickly process, then display in such enduring collections as Keepers, Fine Art, and Competitions! Come with Joe; Joe enjoys bringing Natural History and a talented photographer’s eye to Digital Wilderness Tours. The 4 Corners Region has ancient rainforests, dinosaurs, Anasazi civilizations, magnificent archeological ruins in remote, protected canyon heads, and scarred remnants of relatively recent volcanic explosions.
