Long Exposure Workflow with Blake Rudis | A Topaz Webinar

In this webinar I will be showing you how I use Topaz for my Long Exposure Workflow.  Long Exposure Photography can create some awe inspiring results in your images. However, just capturing the long exposure alone is never quite enough. The bulk of the “Wow Factor” comes from the steps you take in post-processing to take that long exposure image to the next level.

 This webinar is packed with useful information about the essential steps to take during your long exposure workflow.  I will be working entirely on one photograph to show you how you go from bland to BAMM!  This can be quite tedious, but the work is well worth the finished product!

Before and After Topaz Labs Long Exposure Workflow

In this video I show how I obtained the exposures that I use for blending later in PS.  It includes the use of the ND Filter and how I obtain 3 bracketed exposures prior to taking the long exposure shot with the ND Filter.  These steps are also in the downloadable PDF for this Webinar.

    Wow Blake. Another fantastic webinar. I learn more from you, whether it is watching your Topaz webinars or from HDR Insider, than I do from any other source. It amazes me how you find and learn all these hidden techniques. Thank you for sharing it all with us.

    Must have been a very good webinar, sorry I missed it. I was registered for it, but when I tried to sign in, I was told that the webinar was full. I signed in 2 minutes after the hour. You are a obviously a very popular presenter.
