Hands ON!!
This presentation will cover Adobe Photoshop and Nik Software’s Silver Efex Pro, methods of B&W conversions. Vincent will explore all the options in Photoshop for converting color images to black and white, and will explain the merits of each, including when one conversion technique is more appropriate than another. Versace shares the knowledge he’s gained from decades of research and real-world experience to help you take black and white images from "good enough" to fine art quality.

In the Heat of the Light. Coming to Therms With Digital Infrared Photography.
More than half the energy from the Sun (a really, really, really big thermonuclear device) arrives to our planet in the form of infrared radiation. We can feel this light but it takes a special camera to be able to see it. But it is it is not the heat of the light you are photographing. It is the light caused by the outcome of the heat.
With the advent of digital cameras being able to be converted to shoot in the IR spectrum, what was once an incredibly difficult and very Uncreative process (that being composing, focusing and metering through a piece of black glass), has now become in comparison the simple job of just point and shoot.
