Live Event Replays

“Hey Blake, that Color Wheel you teach us is incorrect. It should be Red, Yellow, and Blue. That’s what they taught us in grade school…” How many emails and comments I get that goes something like that would blow your mind! I get it. What I teach with Color Theory...

The new Blend If course was PACKED with content and a new Panel to help you with your Blend If efforts. But, there are always questions after a course.  Most of them end up in my email; only the one asking the question gets the answer. This was our opportunity to...

It's here, and we cannot get away from it, nor will it ever go away. We have opened Pandora's Box. I'm talking about AI-generated art. Not AI programs that edit images but Artificial Intelligence that can generate artwork by simply typing words. It doesn't stop there....

MERRY CHRISTMAS from the warm and cozy Rudis house to yours.  I pray it is a blessing to be with family and that your New Year is as fruitful as you could imagine! In this live event, I will reveal our annual Christmas Card (this one is a doozy!) and show you how I...

It’s time for an intervention! But first, what is an intervention? At its root, an intervention is the disruption of patterned behavior for the greater good of the individual. After spending a LOT of time with over 100 landscape photographers last month, I saw many...

Have you watched my Composition Course or Level Up Your Composition Live Events? If so, this event is specifically for you! I know we discussed a lot of items in the composition material I shared. This event was an opportunity to ask specific questions about...

In this Live Event, I edited user-submitted RAW files to edit using the IP² Chroma Profiles and Presets.

This is part 2 of the Level Up Your Composition Live Event. In the first session, we discussed many outside-the-box ways to pursue composition and make better images. We looked at a lot of side-by-side comparisons and developed ideas for better compositions outside of...

We met as a group on June 20th to hang out and have some healthy and fun discussions about photography.  It was a great time and we talked about some interesting topics.  I posted the replay below and here are some of the concepts we discussed.  If you want to skip...

Last year I did a live event on photographing Eagles and Wildlife and I made reference to "leveling up" my skills as I shot. I found that concept to be very helpful for me in many aspects of my photography, especially composition. What do I mean by "leveling up"? I...

I am heading out to Sedona and Flagstaff next month. I have never been to either of these locations and am excited to explore. However, I also want to come away with some great photos. To accomplish that a great deal of planning goes into the trip. I like to know what...

In this Live event to close out 2021 we met for our Second Annual f.64 Elite Holiday Hangout.  We had a great time talking about what we love, photography!  As a closet introvert, I will honestly say that the fellowship was nice and heartfelt.  Getting to know all of...

We need to discuss the elephant in the room. With the advent of Adobe Camera Raw 14.0 and the new Lightroom update, we have a ton of added features for our RAW workflow in the new Masking section. I'd be lying if I said this wouldn't change my workflow. In fact, the...

In this Live Event, I went through several questions about the Zone System Express 7.  After watching the education and experimenting with the panel, users were given the opportunity to ask questions about the ZSE7.   In this open forum style presentation, every...

We covered a lot of territory in an hour and answered quite a few questions, like these: 1.  Where does this fit in with my Workflow?2.  How do I get better with Blend If?3.  Can you show me more about this Tone Sculpting thing? Those are all great and valid questions...

This presentation was meant to be a discussion about my early work as an artist, but it went in a completely different direction and I am so glad it did! Being an artist is about opening up and letting the world see you in a different way, typically through your art. ...
