On June 20th, 2010, LOOK3 is bringing award-winning wildlife
photographer Steve Winter to the Paramount Theater to present his images and
stories about endangered big cat species from around the world. Winter was
awarded the distinction of Wildlife Photographer of the Year in 2008 and won
first prize from World Press Photo 2009 for his coverage of the elusive
Central Asian snow leopard. He spent 10 months in the most remote areas of
northern India and Pakistan searching for these endangered creatures and
came back with never before seen photographs displaying the behaviors of
this wild cat. He will present images on the big screen from his entire
career but will mostly focus on his work with Big Cats: snow leopards,
jaguars, and tigers. Tickets are on sale now.

Join us for an all-day Nikon flash photography workshop to learn how to get the most out of your Nikon external flash (SB-600, 800, 900). The Nikon speedlights offer a powerful yet flexible system, whether you have one or more flashes you’ll learn how to maximize their capabilities in this workshop. The workshop will help you understand the modes and functions of your flash, as well as how aperture and shutter speed affect flash photography. Find out how to effectively use multiple flash units and control your flashes wirelessly. Using multiple flash units opens up additional possibilities whether you’re in a studio or on location. They allow you to produce high quality results without the expense and bulk of studio lighting. We’ll also cover working with light modifiers for greater control over lighting your subject. Modifiers covered include soft boxes, umbrellas, diffusers, reflectors, gels, grids and snoots. Part of the workshop will be spent photographing a model where participants will have the opportunity to practice the techniques discussed.

Data Storage/Management, Creative/Productive Applications, Monitors, Calibration, Printers, Workflow, Video.  As photographers we all have questions regarding which equipment is best suited for our creative/productive needs.  Many times it’s difficult to wade through marketing hype/sales pitches to get real world answers from knowledgeable professionals with a broad range of experience and understanding of our profession.

With our next APA/DC Brown Bag Meeting we have created a unique opportunity.  Steve Hendrix with Capture Integration has agreed to participate and share his broad scope of knowledge.  As with all APA/DC Brown Bag Meetings this will be an informal discussion where all participate and share their experience.  Steve will be present to offer his unique insight and answer any questions we may have.

Steve has devoted over 10 years to helping photographers get the best results possible through his frank and knowledgeable grasp of the industry and the products that help photographers achieve their goals and objectives. Steve has worked for Sinar, Imacon and Phase One, and spent time at the dealer level selling all of the top products available to photographers.
