A New HDR Workshop! Announcement!

Whoa! Where did this come from?

Yes! It’s true. I have a new HDR Workshop page that you can visit for a few more details. This is gonna be awesome. It’s the first time I have ever offered anything like this…

It will be the first full weekend in January 2010 (9th and 10th) here in Austin (pics on link!) . I’m only going to have a few people at the workshop to keep the interaction quality high. Note that at the last photowalk, we had a 175 people show up that were local! But, this workshop will only have 10-15 people. Check back on Nov 13th to register and grab your spot!

Are you interested in this? If so, leave a comment below. I’ll gauge overall interest keep this in mind for the future. I’m very excited about it — I hope you are too.

Now, if you’re new to HDR, or are coming here from another photography site because of this announcement, I’ll post a few HDR photos below so you can get an idea of what the technique can achieve. I can’t promise you’ll make images like this — that depends on you! But, I’ll certainly show you all the tricks and tips in person that I have in the HDR Tutorial here on the site. It’ll be a great weekend, and I hope you can come!

    could be interested in your workshop. plus one most likely — photo buddy lives in austin.

    VERY interested. Hope to purchase Photomatix and Noiseware (maybe even Topaz…) over the holidays and this would just top it off!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rafael-Bautista/707526591 Rafael Bautista

    For those of us who can’t make it, WEBINAR!!! If not, I’ll settle for the Blue-Ray DVD instead.

  • Andrew

    Trey, stop off for a day in London next time you pass through Europe. I’ll host your workshop!! :-)

  • Facebook User

    My vote is also for a webinar – would love to participate, even though I can’t feasibly travel to Austin, anytime soon :) .

  • http://www.fingerprintphotography.co.uk/wales/wales.htm Steve Moon

    Agree with Rafael !
    Fans in the UK are very interested !
    Cheers Trey !

    i’m interested. I thought my first trip to austin would be for SxSw since i work in radio but this would be amazing.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Stephen-Butterworth/100000314183111 Stephen Butterworth

    Definitely interested.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Stephen-Butterworth/100000314183111 Stephen Butterworth

    The other link indicates it’s the 9th and 10th (Sat/Sun) rather than 8th/9th (Fri/Sat) indicated here… :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Patrick-Ahles/610098261 Patrick Ahles

    Too bad I won’t be able to make this. Austin is about 5200 miles from where I live… So, a webinar wouldn’t be too bad!

  • http://weathershenkerphotography.com Julia Weatherby

    I’d definitely consider it.

    By the way, this post says Jan 8 & 9, but your workshop post says Jan 9 & 10. I imagine you truly meant the 9th & 10th. Glad to see the workshop on a weekend!!

  • http://ninajansen.dk Nina Jansen

    That sounds great, but unfortunately two days is a little short to travel across the Atlantic for. If this is a success, please consider making workshops in other locations, as others have suggested. If it was in any big city in Europe, I’d sign up in a heart-beat.

  • Denis

    Sweet!
    I hope to see some materials (video, tutorials, pics, etc..) uploaded online, I can’t make it to US :(

  • Rachelle

    I would attend if I was going to be in the US at that time. I’d vote for a webinar or come to Hungary. I’d also attend a seminar in the UK or any major city in Europe if I had the opportunity.

  • http://www.lschnellmann.com Larry

    I would love to attend. I am in Austin. I use a Nikon D70 and am very interested in learning about HDR photography. Thank you, Larry

    It would be great if I was not in France! I don’t think I can cross the Atlantic just for a week end :D

    Come on out and do one in Seoul, Trey!!!

  • http://www.cottageblog.ca Ed

    Trey – A webinar would be great. Even a YouTube video of you creating one of your masterpieces would be helpful. Creating an average HDR is not that difficult however taking them to the level you are at is another story. I think many of us get lost on the Photoshop masking work etc. I believe this is the area that needs to be mastered in order to accomplish a “Trey” level HDR. And sadly this is the area that there is little information.

  • Mark Porter

    Trey, I really enjoyed your last photo walk and I was wondering if you could schedule another one near Christmas so that downtown will be all decorated. What do you think?

  • http://www.flickr.com/photos/wattsbw2004/ Brandon Watts

    I’m definitely in for this. Can’t wait, I sure hope I can get a spot :)

  • http://seanshannonphotography.com Sean Shannon

    Yes, a WEBINAR would be so freaking awesome! =)

  • Tony

    I’d go to this; I’m new to photography in general, but I enjoy looking at HDR pics. Plus I’m 2 hours away from Austin, so…..yeah!

  • http://carbonboy.com carbonboy

    Looks like the demand overwhelms the supply. Why not a ten city tour? (just kidding, as that might take the fun out of it for you). Maybe a lottery will be needed.

  • Frank Jaquier

    I’m definitely in.

  • shelley osborne

    Yes am very interested. want to sign up. i sent you e mail months ago asking for this !!!!! i have done HDR and i just want to take it to the next level!!!

    I am very interested! I love making HDR images and would love to learn more of your process. The economy is still kicking my butt so I can’t make it this time, but I hope you have enough interest to continue doing this in the future.

  • Facebook User

    Trey! Thanks for being so accomodating! Everytime I come back to Texas for some vacay you manage to have some kind event going on. It’s like you’re reading my mind!

    I am very interested, and will definitely be there.

  • PAUL PARENT

    Count me in!!! The 9th is my 50th birthday – can’t think of a better way to spend it. Also lived in Austin for a couple years – have many friends there.

    @Andrew (post 4) – willing accomplice on arrangement here in Cambridgeshire

    Though if I could combine one of these with a holiday to America later in the year in 2010 I’d certainly be VERY interested Trey. Good luck with the first of these, hope the interest is high. Though from the above it seems to be very high.

  • Rod Cole

    I am most definitely interested and I live in Austin

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Cindy-Williams/1491650220 Cindy Williams

    Yes I interested, nice change from New England in January.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Russ-Eisenberg/635903375 Russ Eisenberg

    I would love to attend, but have a commitment on Jan. 10th. I would gladly pay for a webinar as well. I think that is a great idea for those of us that either can’t afford the trip plus whatever your fee may be, and those of use with tough schedules. Maybe even a two or three part series. You could offer it live at cost X. Then you could post the recorded sessions for a reduced cost since there would be no ability to interact. Not telling you what to do. Just hoping to get a chance to participate.

    I would definitely be interested. I came to the photowalk. While fun, it was really would like to have heard some more in-depth instruction. Maybe you could record it for those who cannot attend.

  • Norman

    I would definately attend the workshop if I was lucky enough to get a seat.

  • http://www.flickr.com/photos/craigctnelson/ Craig T. Nelson

    Trey- Man oh man! I wish I lived in Texas for a Day. If you ever bring this out to SoCal I’m there for sure! SIC is an awesome website and resource. Thanks for the effort you put out to show the world your great work and a fun process

  • Daniel

    Traveling right now is not in the picture; to expensive.

    Do the webinar. I’d be very interested in that!

    Thanks! :-)

  • Dave Shaver

    I’m interested in attending

  • Noah

    I agree a webinar would be great or maybe you can make a video of your workshop. I’d love to have a more in depth instruction of your hdr tutorial as I’ve read it so many times I’m not sure I can pull any more info from it. I’m most interested in how to clean up moving objects like trees moving. People are easier as I can just mask them out. Just some thoughts.

    Cheers,
    Noah

    Very interested! What level of expertise is required?

  • http://www.markdaughn.com mark daughn

    hmmm…. Austin for a weekend might not work, but a WEBINAR would be the bomb. I like everyone else here are fascinated with your level of proficiency and suprer natural HDR talents, not to mention your great haircut! Please consider something for the masses….btw I bought your books so that should put me somewhere higher on the list right… Tee Hee!

    =)

  • http://www.dougmillerimages.com Doug

    Yes I am interested! Living in Austin may acutally be advantageous this time if I’m lucky enought to get on the registration page early enough to grab a seat;)

  • Bill A

    I would also be very interested, As others have said a webinar or a high quality DVD of some sort would be wonderful. I’m in school full time and poor, so travel wouldn’t be in the cards. I’m very eager to learn more!!

  • http://elfevans.redbubble.com/ Elf Evans

    I live in France and also new to HDR, would really appreciate a webinar it such a thing every occurs.

  • Diane Imfeld

    Ditto to Rafael Bautita’s comment…For thos of us who can’t make it a WEBINAR? DVD sounds good too!
    I would make plans to attend if I was given more advanced notice…due to needing to make travel arrangements…and spring/summer would be great!

  • http://elfevans.redbubble.com/ Elf Evans

    I live in France and also new to HDR, would really appreciate a webinar if such a thing every occurs.

  • Shiva

    Would love to be a part of this workshop. Though like others, I would throw my bit and vote for the Webinar too. It would help many people who cannot travel to Austin additionally, there would be a greater number of people benefiting from this.
    Yay for Workshop, +1 for Webinar!

  • JT Metz

    Trey,
    I live in Austin, and I would be extremely interested in attending this HDR workshop. I was out of town when you had the photowalk.

    It seems like it is going to be pretty hard to registar for a 13 person workshop.

    I can’t make Austin either but would definitely participate in some kind of online class.

  • http://www.AprilWes.com Wes Browning

    I am SO eager to attend your workshop! My partner, April, rolls her eyes when I go off on a tare about HDR and what great things we can do. We both love your work! I’m in east Texas and am able to attend as soon as I get the go ahead. I want to know – I want to believe :)

    Hello, Love the wonderful work that you are creating!
    I would like to participate in your HDR Workshop but
    cannot travel to Austin. Would you possibly consider
    conducting a web seminar and/or even producing a You Tube
    presentation or DVD? I would sure be interested in this!

    Also, I would like to invite you to visit our home. We are
    located along the majestic rugged and wild Sonoma Coastline,
    with private pocket coves and beaches, redwood forests, fern
    lined canyons with fresh and clear running streams, old ranch
    buildings and victorians and some just amazing scenery.

    Best,
    John

  • http://martinsoler.wordpress.com Martin Soler

    Wow, if I could be in Austin I would most certainly try to attend. Am in Paris so if you were doing a seminar like that in Paris one day I would most definitely attend.
    If you could post the seminar on video it would be absolutely amazing. Sell the DVDs or something like that would be really cool!
    Keep posting, it’s one of the most inspiring photo sites I have encountered.

    I’ll sign up. You should try to come up to Dallas too!!

  • http://www.stuckincustoms.com Stuck In Customs

    Hey y’all!

    Looks like you are into this idea! Cool. I know it’s gonna be great. Also, I know there are going to be disappointed people because not everyone can get in. I’ll see what we can do about that in the future… great suggestions and I’ve got my thinkin’ cap on!

    As for a exact TIME of the announcement (this is like selling Concert Tickets!)… I’ll let you know a few days before.

    There are many questions above… not sure I can nail them all – but here are some:

    * yes there were date errors – I meant the 9th and 10th (sat, sun)

    * yes I guess you can use a little consumer camera as long as it has exposure bracketing. Although, frankly, since the event itself is likely to be have a certain cost, it might not hurt to buy a new DSLR for less than $800

    *Another photowalk too? That might be possible. We will see!

  • Sue

    There are lots of photographers in Ohio-want to come here to do a seminar? I’m going to try to get in to the seminar but with so much interest probably won’t make the cut. I vote for the webinar too.

  • sheldon villanueva

    Hi Trey, for those of us who cant come.( i’m from the philippines) I’d be really interested to have a dvd/ video of that seminar. Please consider it.Thanks.

    Totally interested. Maybe do a West Coast Workshop at some point? That’d be awesome for all of us California folks following your wonderful photos!

  • Rich Merritt

    I live here in ATX and I’m quite interested – your HDR is quite tasteful and usually I’ve been turned off by it for being too gaudy looking – I’d rather learn something right the 1st time than have to “unlearn” a bad practice.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Wes-Browning/1366712874 Wes Browning

    I am absolutely available to attend – just say the time, place, and cost and I’ll be there. Learning from such a master of HDR is a major opportunity (not blowing smoke or nuthin :) ) and I hope to be selected. Not brown-nosin or anything… it’s all true. And this workshop is a wonderful opportunity.

  • Sylvia Mugica

    I live in Dallas but would definitely drive down for this.

  • http://www.flickr.com/photos/chuckadams514/ Chuck Adams

    Very interested in taking my HDR photo’s to the next level. I’m OK with Photomatix, and combining with Topaz, but still lack the skill to push out anything near what you’re doing. A webnar sounds like the most feasible way to do what you’re purposing with all the people whose interested in developing those skills and using the other tools it takes to have great works like yours.

    Trey,

    I would be very interested in this, more for my husband. IT would make a great birthday gift for a man that you have helped inspire. He has taken his photography hobby and turned it into an obsession. He loves when he has the opportunity to do HDR and he would be absolutelty thrilled to join the workshop. I would find a way to get him from SLC to Austin.

  • Wil

    WOW! The photos with the lakes… I saw a film at the Banff Mountian Film Festival in Minneapolis MN in April ’09 that these two guys shot trying to peak the talest peak of the Cerro Torre (the twisted looking peak) in the winter. Just amazing to see that peak again. Way to go Trey.

  • http://photos.stevekalman.com Steve

    Absolutely, positively interested. Nearly all of my favorite work is HDR, but none of it is even close to as good as yours. I’d certainly get a lot out of spending two days with you. However, I work by the week, with travel on the weekends. For example, I’m at the Sheraton Heathrow now (Sat night) heading to SFO tomorrow. To attend a weekend workshop, I’d have to take two weeks off.

    I’d be much more likely to be able to schedule a mid-week event.

    As you move forward, please consider this option.

    thanks,

    Steve

    I am local to Austin as well. Would love to get in on this. If not the first maybe another. Your HDR is very impressive.

  • http://notyet Ted

    Hi Trey,
    Would LOVE to attend the workshop!! I am assuming that registration will be online, starting just after midnight. Will you have a special link? Where/How do I go about registering?
    Hope two things: 1) that I can get in, and 2)that the cost will not be too great, as this will be my Christmas present ! :-)
    Thanks,
    Ted

  • http://www.stuckincustoms.com Stuck In Customs

    Great!

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes – best to come to the /hdr-workshop on midnight that night – all registration will be online. The cost should be fair for all you receive.
