Muench Workshops Open House
November 8th from 2-7pm

We're going to open our doors and invite you over for some good food, conversation and shooting!

We're going to start at 2pm at the offices of Muench Photography. We'll eat, chat and get to know each other. Later on we'll head on over to shoot the sunset in a mini-workshop!

Please RSVP! We hope to see you there!

I plan on going.

Visiting the studio is a view into the history of Muench Photography. Talented Family too!

And shooting at Campus Point will be fun. Afternoon surf, birds and a cool beach.

Thanks for making this available!

The link you have doesn't have a send button or a confirmation?

Unless when you hit add to calendar but it doesn't mention that anything has happened???

There is a submit button. Which browser are you viewing it in? Can you try refreshing the page?

The submit button is above the map. (or, it should be! )

Well, it won't be set up for kids. There's plenty of expensive equipment lying around, and Campus Point can be a danger to a child if you're not paying attention.

All that said, bring him if you would like.

Tango

i think he would enjoy a shootout with just his good ol'dad on friday night by ourselves, then he can stay with the family in goleta while i attend the workshop without distraction on saturday.....

DavidTO

So, we're expecting about 25 people so far. I'm really getting jazzed about this little get-together we're putting together.

We're going to have a door prize.

Tango

we love door prizes!


i really look forward in meeting up with everyone again!
a lot of locals? or people traveling further than I?

Tango

anyone want to meet up friday before? i plan on shooting over in this area for sunset:
Montana de oro state park


it would be great to meet up with any of you there!

DavidTO

This is happening

TOMORROW!

I'm really jazzed. I'm driving up to Marc's early to help set up. Looking forward to seeing all who will be there, and for the rest, sorry you can't make it!

If you DO want to come, it's not too late, either RSVP via the first post in this thread, or heck, just come on over!

Tango

its no surprise my day job overpowered my free time plans, ugh!
i was so looking forward to coming down! but i need to do a unexpected shift tonight.....
well look at it this way,...it will be alot quieter there without me:D

im sure you all will have a great time! i hope another time comes up...

Marc was going to ask for suggestions/ideas right? and i was going to make a case of a weekend workshop just learning tools and techniques would be something i would like to attend....

DavidTO

Well, we had a great time, and too much food!

We didn't lay out the red carpet, but check out the really cool banner that Marc cooked up:





We had a great time talking shop (blurry P&S shot warning!):




And then it was out to shoot a patented Muench Workshops sunset (it really was a beaut!):




Marc, the sun is the other way!









Marc standing around, waiting for the good light to show up:




Oop! There it is!



The fully gallery of snapshots is here.

DavidTO

Oh, I forgot to mention our ultra-cool, lightweight door prize!

Marc also threw in some very large and beautiful calendars for the runners up.

Thanks to all that showed up, and best wishes to the one sickie that couldn't get out of bed to make it, and the workaholic that put food on his family's table ahead of joining us. Maybe next time!

Tango

"you had me at hello"....:D i cant wait until the next time.

did you mention my request to Marc? i will ask him sometime if not.

looks like i really missed a great meet!....maybe no red carpet by surely this orange one did fine...

No, but it's on my to-do list.

This one gobbled up my processor for more than a few hours

I had a great time visiting with everyone including meeting some that will be at this weeks print workshop. BTW, tonight was yet another great pink sunset. Great time of year

DavidTO

Nice, Marc!

It puts my little P&S shots to shame.

Tango

Marc, your work is always so sweet, thanks for yet another marker for us to strive for....:ivar

So how many rows across was that? Are moving clouds a problem?

8 rows, probably took me 3 minutes to capture. Actually the moving clouds was the least of my worries. What I have come to discover is that Adobe leaves much to be desired in their stitching In fact I manually stitched this because after attempting 6 different times in both CS3 and CS4 the horizon was not straight imagine that of all things to screw up:cry

I will be looking into third party software for stitching now

Aaron & Schmoo, thank you for your interest in the image:D

Well I'm sure you'll have many ears listening (or eyes reading) what you develop! So far I've not heard a peep against the stitching software, but these times they are a-changin'

Oh and I hear the open house was great, too. Wish I could have popped in, myself. :

Time to upgrade

I'm struggling with this. Not because it isn't a beautiful scene but because the perspective is wrong--I can unwrap it in my head but visually, it doesn't look "right".

What do you think you'll try as an alternative to CS3 for stitching?
