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! :D )

    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.

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

    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!):

    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!

    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 stitchingheadscratch.gif In fact I manually stitched this because after attempting 6 different times in both CS3 and CS4 the horizon was not straighteek7.gif imagine that of all things to screw up:cry

    I will be looking into third party software for stitching nowdeal.gif

    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' lol3.gif

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

    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?
