More than just landscapes:
I also photograph buildings and other works of outdoor and indoor architecture. (See
below). The most important aspect, as it is in landscape photography, is light. It may
take many days or even the right time of year for the correct light to appear in or
around a building. And sometimes I employ High Dynamic Range (HDR) processing
since the camera (film or digital) can not capture the full range of brightness that our
own eyes can see. Contact me if you want your place to look its best.

If you have a special place that you wish to have photographed with just the right light,
let me know and I'll put it on my list of places to shoot. It may take months for
conditions to be just right, but eventually everything will come together into a good
photograph. Contact me for more details. Use the Contact Us page or email me
directly at (patrick at patricksmithphotography.com)
In addition to photography, I also restore old images by photographing them and
correcting them in PhotoShop.
Also, I can photograph your artwork or framed photographs using the 21mp Canon 5D
MkII camera. A print up to 32x48 inches can be easily made from a single frame. If you
want a larger print, a stitched image can be made to print at more than double that size
with very fine detail. Contact me for any photographic service.

Personalized Landscape and Seascape photography workshops:
I will be personally be conducting a series of 1-evening workshops devoted to helping you capture in your
camera, the kinds of scenery that you see in magazines, galleries, and photography books. You can be a
beginner or someone looking to refine the art. I believe that given enough time and effort, anybody can put on
their wall, an exquisite, self-made work of art that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. The price is $295, and you can
bring up to three friends for an additional $50 each!
If you will be in the San Francisco area for a day or longer, and have a free evening, we can schedule to meet at
any of a large number of places (mostly beaches.) In the future, I may do this in Hawaii and other places.
Here's what you get:
1. Before we meet, you (and your friends) will send me a list of the things you wish to learn and discuss. And
I will also have a good list of things to discuss.
2. We'll meet up, 2 hours before sunset in order to talk about your goals and learn the location.
(If we get rained out (in the winter) or fogged out (in the summer), I can refund your money or we can talk
photography at a convenient public place for a solid 5 hours.)
3. After we are prepared, we will shoot the place together.
I am not there to do my own photography, but for you to do your photography. I will only shoot in order
to show you how I do it so that you can develop your own style. I will help you with graduated filter use,
and everything else you need to capture the best photo possible on the spot.
4. After sunset, we will go to a public place close by to eat and review the photos on my/your laptop.
5. While there, I will offer suggestions on how to improve composition and lighting.
. Processing techniques that can improve sharpness, dynamic range, color, etc.
. Guidelines on how to choose the best time of day or season of the year for a new version of your photo.
. Hints to help you develop your own style.
. Tips on camera equipment that may help your image quality, if indeed new equipment is really needed.
. Ideas to help you work with the equipment that you have right now.
. Help with how to scout out similar locations.
. Thoughts on how to simplify the image.
. Other ideas to help you create works of art that you would like to hang on your wall.
6. Although I will not be giving specific lessons in Photoshop or post-processing, you can email me a few of
your processed photos so we can discuss ways to make a good-looking final image. This is done once you
return home and have some time to look at them and decide which ones are best. I only save perhaps 1/10
photos that I make, so don't be afraid to be a tough editor! I do keep some around to remind me of mistakes
however.
If you are interested, send me an email at: patrick at patricksmithphotography dot com (where 'at' should be

Once we talk it over, you can mail me a check or pay for it below with your credit card via PayPal. It is secure
and I never see your credit card number!
