Programs,
Files, & Settings for Our Workshops
There are several files, programs, and settings that you will need for your upcoming workshop. Please download and install these onto your computer and check in your camera menu before you arrive in order to make best use of your time at the workshop. If you download the programs a week oe less before the workshop, you will have a chance to play with them afterwards. Suggested Downloads:
For those who work in CS5, that we also use, there are a number of plug-ins that we find useful (many have trial versions), including:
Camera Settings Don't forget to bring along your camera's manual! For those who find the Japanese manufacturers' instructions a bit daunting, consider buying the Magic Lantern Guide for your camera model. They are actually written in English for English-speaking people by English-speaking people, rather than being translated from Japanese into English by Japanese. Magic Lantern has manuals for most any camera. Before you get to the workshop, be sure to check your camera's settings:
If you calibrate your monitor, make sure it is set to a white point of K6500 (6500 degrees Kelvin) and a Gamma of 2.2. If this is Greek, don't worry, it probably does not apply to you! Blog Articles (http://BCphotoadventures.wordpress.com) © An introduction to copyright and why it is so important, even for amateurs.

Without daring to try something new, we can't move forward. For more on this, read this blog. We are always amazed at how many people will spend thousands of dollars on their camera equipment, then chintz on their tripod and ballhead. Too often, we have seen people nearly lose their cameras, because they are using flimsy tripods that are not rated to carry the weight of their equipment. We also see and hear the frustrations of photographers who don't use a true ball head; instead, they have one of those two-handled, multi-knob varieties that don't afford the versatility and speed necessary to effectively photograph. For more on this, see our blog on the subject.. Your Brain Don't laugh! Your brain is one of the most important tools you have. If it is frazzled and on overload, it doesn't function well. Try to come to the workshop as rested as possible. It is not always possible in today's frenetic world, but you will get that much more out of the workshop if you can manage to get some quality sleep before arriving.
