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.
November 4th, 2009 02:12 | Michael Tuuk
VERY interested. Hope to purchase Photomatix and Noiseware (maybe even Topaz…) over the holidays and this would just top it off!
November 4th, 2009 02:23 | Facebook User
For those of us who can’t make it, WEBINAR!!! If not, I’ll settle for the Blue-Ray DVD instead.
November 4th, 2009 02:57 | Andrew
Trey, stop off for a day in London next time you pass through Europe. I’ll host your workshop!!
November 4th, 2009 02:57 | Facebook User
My vote is also for a webinar – would love to participate, even though I can’t feasibly travel to Austin, anytime soon

November 4th, 2009 03:01 | 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.
November 4th, 2009 03:24 | Stephen Butterworth
Definitely interested.
November 4th, 2009 03:29 | Stephen Butterworth
The other link indicates it’s the 9th and 10th (Sat/Sun) rather than 8th/9th (Fri/Sat) indicated here…
November 4th, 2009 03:30 | 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!
November 4th, 2009 03:54 | 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!!
November 4th, 2009 03:54 | 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.
November 4th, 2009 04:03 | Denis
Sweet!
I hope to see some materials (video, tutorials, pics, etc..) uploaded online, I can’t make it to US
November 4th, 2009 04:11 | 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.
November 4th, 2009 04:37 | 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
November 4th, 2009 04:46 | Charles S.
It would be great if I was not in France! I don’t think I can cross the Atlantic just for a week end

So, so very interested. What time zone does registration open? I want the first slot!
November 4th, 2009 07:48 | Kathy
I would gladly pay for a webinar
November 4th, 2009 07:52 | Aaron Brown
I wish I could go.
Come on out and do one in Seoul, Trey!!!
November 4th, 2009 08:10 | 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.
November 4th, 2009 08:17 | 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?
November 4th, 2009 08:39 | Brandon Watts
I’m definitely in for this. Can’t wait, I sure hope I can get a spot
November 4th, 2009 08:47 | Sean Shannon
Yes, a WEBINAR would be so freaking awesome! =)
November 4th, 2009 08:52 | 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!
November 4th, 2009 09:03 | 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.
November 4th, 2009 09:05 | Frank Jaquier
I’m definitely in.
November 4th, 2009 09:20 | shelley osborne

November 4th, 2009 10:07 | Kevin Williams
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.
November 4th, 2009 10:22 | 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.

@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.

Yes I interested, nice change from New England in January.
November 4th, 2009 10:37 | 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.
November 4th, 2009 10:54 | Norman
I would definately attend the workshop if I was lucky enough to get a seat.

I’m interested in attending
November 4th, 2009 11:24 | 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

I would be interested in attending, a webinar, or getting a video. Filling 15 seats will not be a problem, so please either stream it or record it for posterity.
November 4th, 2009 11:30 | Facebook User
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!
=)
November 4th, 2009 11:31 | 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;)
November 4th, 2009 11:36 | 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!!
November 4th, 2009 11:40 | Elf Evans
I live in France and also new to HDR, would really appreciate a webinar it such a thing every occurs.
November 4th, 2009 11:40 | 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!
November 4th, 2009 11:43 | Elf Evans
I live in France and also new to HDR, would really appreciate a webinar if such a thing every occurs.

Yay for Workshop, +1 for Webinar!

I can’t make Austin either but would definitely participate in some kind of online class.
November 4th, 2009 13:14 | 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

November 4th, 2009 14:45 | 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.

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!
November 4th, 2009 21:52 | 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.

November 5th, 2009 08:08 | 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.
November 5th, 2009 09:20 | 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.
November 5th, 2009 09:38 | Sylvia Mugica
I live in Dallas but would definitely drive down for this.
November 5th, 2009 13:52 | 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.

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.
November 7th, 2009 15:44 | 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
November 8th, 2009 18:08 | Facebook User
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.

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
