Shoot The West

March 18, 2012 • Blog, Workshops

Just back from 3800 miles on the road in two weeks, love the freedom to get in the car and go.  I spent half the time working, and half the time on spring break with my  family.

I started by teaching at Shoot the West, a fantastic workshop held in Winnemucca, NV.  Each year this workshop/tradeshow  brings in around 300 people for a long weekend packed with seminars, workshops and keynote speakers.  My friends Stacy Pearsall and Andy Dunaway also were at the event, incredible photographers with sobering images from the war in Iraq and elsewhere.

I taught two lighting classes during the week, including one session high on Winnemucca Mountain above town.  This workshop is great, you go from photographing cowboys one moment to runners the next.

One new piece of software I learned about is Starstax.  This program, which is free, allows you to stack multiple exposures into one image.  It is great for shooting one star trail image that is composed of hundreds exposures.  The shorter images eliminate noise issues of one long exposure.  I’ll show a few other things you can do with this software in a future post.
