Sessions:
Join OM SYSTEM Ambassador Emilie Talpin in the beautiful woods where you’ll learn how to unlock the creative power of Live ND, Art Filters, and Multiple Exposure to transform simple forest scenes into striking works of art. We’ll explore the forest floor in search of color, texture, and movement, experimenting with techniques that bring an expressive, painterly quality to your images. With personalized guidance and plenty of time to practice, you’ll gain confidence using the incredible computational tools built into your OM SYSTEM camera. Whether you’re new to creative techniques or looking to expand your artistic style, this retreat will inspire you to see the woods in a completely new way.
Join OM SYSTEM Ambassador Tom Cuchara in these sessions, which will focus on manipulating time with computational technologies like Live Composite, Live Time, Live ND, Live Graduated ND, cloud stacking, physical ND filters, etc.
Join OM SYSTEM Ambassador Steve Morello for a focus on bird photography, explaining bird detection AI AF, pro-capture, custom AF target points, bird behaviors, and more.
