The Official Adobe® Photoshop® Seminar Tour

                                		with Joe McNally
									
    		The One Light, Two Light Tour, with Joe McNally is all about creating great lighting! All day, lighting problems, solutions, tactics and strategies will be demonstrated, live, using simple gear and small flashes. It's about producing stunning results that will thrill clients without tugging an eighteen-wheeler full of gear around with you. For over five hours, Joe will be shooting onstage with every frame shown immediately on screen, and he'll mix in short video clips of lighting lessons in the field, all designed to show you how to get great results every time, with a minimum of gear.
    	
View Full Description ↓
This Tour is a complete day of flash demonstrations, with humorous and helpful commentary, Q&A, real people coming on stage to be impromptu models, and covers a wide variety of lighting techniques. The day starts with simple one flash approaches designed to help the basic shooter, then moves to two (and maybe even three) light strategies working with speed lights.
 		
All throughout the day, tips, tricks and techniques for working quickly and simply in the field with flash are used, explained and demonstrated. Questions are answered about the nuts and bolts and buttons and dials, but the much larger part of the day is devoted to showing the use and control of light, and the nuances of difference between various light shapers. It's a day about speaking with light in as many and diverse ways as possible.

Seminar Q&A
Class ScheduleRegistration begins at 9:00 A.M. - Event begins at 10:00 A.M.One Hour, One Flash – The Basics of Creating Great Light10:00 to 11:00 A.M.

One flash and a camera—Joe kicks off the day teaching you how to make one light look great. From simple bouncing techniques with the flash on the hot shoe, to redirecting the flash by holding it off camera. You’ll learn about the camera’s relationship to the speed light, how they work together both in manual and in the more automated exposure modes, and how to change the power of the flash using the small, built-in flash onboard the camera. You’ll learn about simple light shapers, blending one flash with ambient light, controlling white balance relative to the environment, diffusing light to make it soft and flattering, and using it in a directional way to create drama and shadows. 
Bigger [Light] Really is Better11:15 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.

Enlarging the feel and effect of just one flash. Continuing into the next hour, Joe sticks with just one light, working at making it bigger and better. Here you learn more about controlling the light with a commander flash onboard the camera, and how these lights speak to each other to give your subject the right look and exposure. It’s an entire hour of working with one light and changing the look of that light through a series of small, affordable, easily portable light-shaping tools. Joe pushes the limits of one speed light, using it up close and personal to make it soft and flattering, and pushing it back (way back) to achieve edge and shadow.
LUNCH BREAK 12:30 to 1:30 P.M.
Main Light, Fill Light – The Two Light Twist1:30 to 2:30 P.M.

Now, it’s on to two lights, and learning how to define the relationship between a main and a fill light, or a foreground and a background light. Joe shows portable light shapers, now placing them on stands and moving them around the subject to achieve directionality and shades of difference in the look and feel of the light. Various tools are used, from found objects to compact umbrellas, soft boxes, snoots, grids and shadow makers. There’s a world of difference and possibility created by adding just one more light.
Advanced Lighting Techniques Made Simple2:45 to 3:45 P.M.

Keeping it still to just two (maybe three) flashes, Joe takes a look at more complicated techniques and settings, such as high speed sync, rear curtain sync, use of gels, and putting a couple speed lights through the same diffused source to achieve “bigger” light and faster recycle. He will also talk about lighting “through” the picture from foreground to background, using a minimal number of flashes. He will also show how TTL control of the remote flash from right at the camera can limit and define depth of field to create dramatic portraits.
The Big and the Small of Flash4:00 to 5:00 P.M.

After four hours of showing the world of small, simple flash, Joe takes out a bigger flash unit, and using sophisticated light shaping tools, creates a look and feel with the ease of bigger power packs, and big diffusers and soft boxes. Then, having shown that option, he takes the setup apart and recreates the same kind of light using small flash only. Along the way, strengths and weaknesses of each approach are discussed and shown in detail. At the end, Joe shows how to make big and small flash work together seamlessly in the same lighting scenario. 

All throughout the day, tips, tricks and techniques for working fast and simply in the field with flash are used, explained and demonstrated. Sprinkled throughout the day are small video clips showing more lighting options in the real-time world of shooting assignments in the field.

Things To Know Before You Attend
We'll make sure that your training, the classroom, and seminar materials are the very best they can possibly be. This we can control, and we work hard to make sure we exceed your expectations. However, there are several things that are simply out of our control. A little preparation can really help ensure that your travel to and from the convention center and day with us is enjoyable.
Make sure you have directions and driving instructions in hand, and know our location within the convention center. Many centers are very large and difficult to navigate. Knowing exactly where you're going can save a large amount of time and frustration.

Q. Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
A. YES! We offer a 100% money-back guarantee. We're so sure that our seminars offer the best live training anywhere, for any price that if you're dissatisfied for any reason simply contact our customer service department within 10 days after the date of your event, and we'll gladly provide you with a full refund.
Q. Where Do I Park?
A. Be aware that your convention center or nearby parking garages may charge for parking [prices will vary]. Unfortunately, parking fees are not included with your paid registration.

Q. Do You Provide Lunch?
A. No. You do have one (1) hour for lunch, and we give you this time on your own. Many convention centers do offer cafes and restaurants on the premises, and many do not. We suggest bringing a lunch and snacks for the day, or locating restaurants within walking distance to the convention center. Our staff will also make everyone attending aware of surrounding restaurants and places for snacks the day of the event.

Q. What Should I Wear?
A. Dress is casual; suits, jeans, shorts and sandals are all absolutely allowed. Please wear whatever you're most comfortable in. But, please keep in mind that many convention center rooms get very chilly, and we recommend bringing a sweater or sweatshirt in case it's needed.
Q. Will I Get A Good Seat?
A. Seating is provided on a first-come-first-serve basis. Our doors open for registration at 9:00 AM. However, please don't feel rushed to get a "good seat". Our classrooms offer balanced sound throughout, and we present on large, bright video projection screens that are easily visible from any area of the classroom. Our event seating is arranged "classroom" style; meaning you'll be very comfortable with a chair and table-top workspace.
Q. Do I Need to Bring a Note Pad?
A. The Adobe Photoshop Seminar Tour provides a detailed workbook outlining each step-by-step technique and tutorial taught in the classroom. We want you to sit back and enjoy your day learning, not scrambling to take notes. However, there may be an occasional note to jot down. Your instructor may have a helpful URL for you, or an update to a technique in your workbook. For this we provide a "notes" section on each page of your workbook. Bring a pen the day of the event and you'll have everything you'll need.

Q. Should I Bring My Laptop?
A. Laptops are not required at our events. However, you're welcome to bring yours to follow along with in the classroom. We do not provide power for laptops or other electronic devices. So bring an extra battery or two.

Q. Can I Record the Seminar?
A. No. The Adobe Photoshop Seminar Tour strictly prohibits any video or voice recordings during our seminars. If you have any specific questions or special requests concerning this, please contact our office prior to attending.

Q. Will You Have Interpreting Services, for the hearing impaired?
A. We are very happy to provide interpreting services for our deaf attendees. Please contact our office no later than two weeks prior to your seminar date to allow appropriate arrangements to be made.

Q. What Kind of Access do I Have to the Instructors?
A. You've got great access! We know that one of the best things about our seminar tour is your opportunity to speak face-to-face with our instructors and ask your most pressing Photoshop questions, get your books autographed, or simply take a photo with them to commemorate your visit with us. And you'll have plenty of time for this. Our instructors are available during breaks, lunch, and after the event to answer any questions you may have, sign a book, or take a photo. By the way, this is one of the instructors' favorite things about their events as well. So be sure to stop by the stage and say, "Hi!"

Q. If I Cancel Will I Get My Money Back?
A. If you are unable to attend this event, you are welcome to send someone in your place, request a credit toward a future seminar or request a refund less a $15 enrollment charge. Credit requests must be received within 10 business days of the event. Refund requests must be received no later than 6 business days prior to the event.
