There is a lot to do even before the Symposium begins! With gatherings on Friday, May 5 that include a late photo shoot at beaver bridge, a mingle downtown, and excursions. Then Saturday, May 6 features one of the best opportunities MAPSym has to offer! Hands-on workshops. How often do you get to work closely and learn from published photographers? Pre-symposium workshops alone are well worth a trip to Eureka Springs! All that happens before we ever come together for the opening session of MAPSym! Yes, a full schedule of top photographers here in Northwest Arkansas leads breakout sessions and photo sessions!

Now that you’ve taken those great images, what do you do with them?

Professional Photographer Melissa L. Jones will introduce you to post-processing via Camera RAW and Adobe Photoshop. (If time, we will also cover a bit of the Nik Collection). Delve into the basics of processing your photos to correct white balance, add tone and sharpness or make a stunning black-and-white image. You’ll learn how to save those darker areas and create easy spot colors. Bring your computers, your iPads or just a pen and paper, as well as a few RAW images for practice.

The Exposure Triangle is at the foundation of photography. More than just a representation of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, it is a concept, the understanding of how your camera captures light. An exposure triangle is also a tool, a usable chart showing you how to adjust your exposure to capture the image you desire.

Exposure in photography is all about light and how your camera captures the light. Every exposure is a relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, and there are many ‘correct exposures’ available to you by varying this relationship. Introduction to the Exposure Triangle will be the gateway that allows you to go from snapping pictures to creating images. Learn how to take more control of your camera.
