Wednesday was a day of “Photoshopping”. We were critiqued on album layouts of our Wedding photos yesterday from Downtown Seattle that we designed, mine went well, suggestions were made by all the other professionals which (in my case) really improved and fine-tuned the spread. There is a lot of truth in having “an extra set of eyes” to look at things. I am getting some one on one with Jim today on Photoshop, which I am looking forward to. I also enjoyed learning some advanced tips and tricks with layering and blending that will really proved to be helpful.
At 6pm to Dark, we had our Evening Photo Shoot Workshop, then at 10pm, a Fireside Dinner & Dessert right on the beach. What a day! I’ll add some of the Evening Photo Shoot shots with tomorrow’s post.
I have to tell you that this beach house where Jim is hosting this private workshop is just outside of Seattle on Puget Sound and it is beautiful. It has 130 feet of low bank waterfront and is walking distance from the beautiful Deception Pass Bridge and State Park. Westerly views from the house are of the Olympic Mountain Range and San Juan Islands. You can see it is a gorgeous place by taking a photo tour here - www.surfcrestbeachhouse.com .
Today has just been loaded with tons of information, with Jim’s wife Katarina also teaching on her part of the business, so needless to say it’s been busy and lots of fun! This is a total luxury, 1st class workshop and just a great experience all the way around. I highly recommend it.
Stay tuned for those Evening Photo Shoot photo’s and more from Day 3 tomorrow!

That is quite a place. I bet it is a nice learning situation. I wonder if it is for rent? I’ll check the website again. Oh, by the way, very nice blog. I check it all the time.
Thank you. We appreciate your stopping and reading!
