Photography Heaven

I have had an amazing week. Absolutely outstanding. The kind of days that I wish would come with more frequency. 7 days of complete immersion in photo workshops. I took the week off to participate in the Gulf Photo Plus photo week. 16 World famous photographers came down to conduct workshops.

David Hobby (of the Strobist Fame), Zack Arias (of One light Fame), David Nitingale, Bobbi Lane, Joe McNally...the list goes on.

I signed up for workshops every single day. I did one light flash with Zack Arias, street photography with David and Zack, The Art of Black and White Photography with David and Balancing Flash with Ambient Light with Bobbi Lane; 7 days non stop. My legs hurt. My back hurts and I have so much information to process, my head hurts.

It was like I died and went to Photography Heaven. Today was recovery day. Back to work tomorrow. (as the Americans say, that sucks big time).

Anyway, I will try and get myself back on track this week; I have to start working on the images for the P&P as well as finish the last assignment for DPP1. Still confused about what I am going to do there.

This is an image that I shot in Zack Arias's one light workshop. The vision was Zack's; the set up was Zack's; I was just grateful to be able to execute it. It was shot in color and then converted to black and white using conversion techniques taught by the the Master of digital post processing David J. Nightingale;

Can I repeat it?

You bet.
