  Imagery workflow:

 

I need your best 30 images from the first days shoot. Renumber 1 to 30, and name images with your first and last name. Put them in a file named with your first and last name. All files should be converted out of Raw to jepg. All files need to be high-rez!!!!!! This is important!!

Here is a list of some of the hotels is the Santa Barbara area. Downtown SB is about 5-10 miles from the freedom house where we’ll be basing the workshop. We have some great locations planned; an old Castle and Sunstone Winery. When we get closer to the date I’ll put you in touch with other out of town guests and you can maybe share a rental car. I’ll email out everyone’s cell #’s and email.

 

If none of these hotels work for you, just google SB hotels. Anything in the surrounding area is good like Goleta. The distances aren’t that great.
