8/29/2014That's what photographer and educator Seán Duggan did, and in this course, he deconstructs his photographic steps and post-processing procedures.
The course begins with advice on how to plan and photograph the eclipse, with the right gear, the right focusing techniques, and the right exposure. Next, Seán evaluates the images in Lightroom, and then dives into Photoshop and shows how to composite each image into a finished photo. Along the way, he explores blend modes, layer masking, and other compositing techniques.
