Today’s workshop was a lot of fun! Fremont has a lot to offer for the photographer. We took the time and looked around and our eyes open up finding many different scenes to photograph. Fremont has a lot of colorful details which might be easily overlooked.

Here are some photos I took. I also posted some examples using NIK software in the post processing which made a huge difference in the final result. I love to work with NIK and to improve the images; it took me less than one minute.

We started with the troll statue under the Aurora Bridge. At the moment the bridge is being retrofitted so it is not as vulnerable to earthquake damage in the future. Unfortunately for the photographer, construction is visible in the wide views. I showed the students how to make the best out of it and how to avoid all the scaffolding.

If you are interested in participating in any of my workshops, please email me at [email protected]. I am planning on teaching some digital workflow and NIK software workshops in the near future.

Who says that tripods are for cameras?!  They are great coffee cup holders!  Thanks so much for the coffee Matthew!
