HDR tutorial

[Henk Coetzee]

it is my understanding that my name has taken quite a bit of slandering due to my young arrogance and rudeness

Strangely, I quite like it. I spend too much time with people who fade into passivity before they ever get anywhere.

I'm still sorry I missed the first workshop due to an injury. I'll happily pay to attend another.

On the subject of passing on information for free, I do it happily for people who pay the favour back with hard work and commitment. That's easy for me to say as training and mentorship fall into my job description and I get a salary for that every month.

One word of warning though. Those of us who you teach are going to learn your tricks and develop on them. It's up to you to keep yourself ahead of the curve and carry on with the good work.

Hey Ballie, found this Tut quite OK (he even uses a Nikon and hangs in the Smithsonian)

Wow Hougaard, sounds like you have been badly hurt. Keep up the hard work and dreams, youth passes too quickly

[Choppie]

Hougaard, out of a work point of view one might understand the comments and how you would rather keep your knowledge to yourself.

But coming from someone who purely only does photography as a hobby and purely that I don't want to make a cent with any of my pictures. Lately I have been searching for every tutorial on HDR I could find on the internet and I've found some good ones and some bad ones. This was a bout a week or so before you started your idea and I can say that I've been looking forward to it like many others as well.

So if you decide to host a workshop on HDR then you could count me in. The only problem I have is that 2 out of 3 months I'm in Africa (currently in Burkina Faso) and I always seem to miss the best workshops. That is why I have purely relied on the internet to extend my photography and photoshop skill. (I have quite some time on my hands here in the field as well).

But being a helicopter instructor I can say there is no better feeling than giving the knowledge I have to less experienced pilots. Whether they are up and coming pilots looking to take my job or just flying as a hobby... it's all the same to me. One thing counts in my favour and should probably also count in your favour as well... and thats experience. So whether you give some other tog your knowledge I'm sure you would do it better than him any day!

Good luck and hope to join you some day for a workshop!

but I have since been convinced that I should not give my knowledge away for free by several tog's that I look up to, when it cost me more than 2 years of nerd-labour behind the pc to develop and refine the techniques I use.

You created the impression that you were going to put this "tutorial" on ODP for us all, since you asked us what would we like to know, but now you change your tune a bit.

Bottom line: HOW MUCH WILL IT COST ?

I'm on holiday and I've finally got time to do a much requested tutorial on exposure blending so I'm going to do a very long and comprehensive one so I can just throw a link at leeches.

Any requests for specific details, methods etc?

Hougaard I dont think there is a problem with you keeping your IP to yourself, Many a Wedding TOG (even on ODP) Would also keep there trade secretes to them self
