Finding Colors Workshop in Biloxi, MS
TriCoast got on the road in August for the Finding Colors Workshop in Biloxi, Mississippi. It was a short 4...5...8...13 hr drive to the Hard Rock Casino where we finally roosted down for the night.
One of the best parts of a workshop is the Road Trip through different states. You never know what you get to see. And sometimes the things you see, will make you turn the car around, dodge traffic, cut off tractors, fight off crickets, just so you can get a photo next to a bear crossing sign.

For all the curious, there is a tourist info across the street. Please be advised that the bears do have the right of way. And will pose if you have a pot of honey.

Our perilous driving conditions. Just so you know how much we love you guys!

Good thing we got on the right bridge...

Houma, LA. I think these guys need to work on some attractions. Maybe a carnival or circus. Like the ones with the sideshow that has bigfoot in a cage or a liger(my favoritest animal ever!!!), or the worlds tallest midget, and maybe a squirrel fish. I mean, it's not like they have a shortage of lodging...

After Houma, we crossed over to the outskirts of New Orleans. Because of the severe thunderstorm/tsunami/big rain cloud like conditions, we seeked shelter in Bourget's of the South.

Public Service Announcement. Don't drive and shoot at the same time. This will happen. Unless of course you're putting on makeup, while on the cellphone, and driving a manual shift.

Couple of the bikes in the showroom.








After Bourget's, we headed straight to Bourbon St to meet up with a small group of photographers that were already enjoying the historical part of New Orleans.
Here's Gerri. A Canadian. Hi Gerri!

Here's Pete. A New Yorker. Demonstrating the Statue of Liberty pose. Well done Pete!

Here's Mike. A Texan. Checking out that...er...package...

Pre-class tidbits :) Remember, No Secrets!

I think Angel was ok with it... Mayhem #498032

Here's Gerri. Again. Hi Gerri!

Here's MyKey, showing off his My Key, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, where all Rockstars stay.

Fanciest roll of toilet paper. Not exactly the softest though...

All this shenanigans were just day one...
Day two is the actual class day. The location is inside an old school house, slowly re-renovated and preserved. It's a neat location, with lots of natural lighting shooting locations. But we're not here about the natural lighting :D


Later, we headed back to the Hotel after Dinner. Everyone wanted to take a nap after full belly. Even the model...

We took a group shot after she woke up.

Vacation snapshot.

And Day 3. Class. With a candygram.

Everyone wants to take photos "The Rockstar" :D

Processing a Raw image.

Hope to see ya'll at the next class!!!

Slight Clutter Photography...
Katya from Slight Clutter Photography out of Houston Texas shared with Finding Color some recent wedding shots using the Finding Color Action Set.Katya stated:
"I'm not the wealthiest person in the land...quite the opposite really...and I'm very careful what I spend my money on because of that. The three photos above are just quick experiments with the actions...certainly not using them to their fullest...that will come next. I'm very happy with the product, and I've only had it one day!"


Dianna Montoya and her method of Finding Color
Dianna is a young local photographer in the Houston Texas area. I had the pleasure to meet her and get to know her a little through a great little online forum Texas Photo Forum. Having meet many people in this amazing artform I must admit not many of them, if any, have more of a passion and drive to learn, educate themselves, ethical and all around loves this art more than Dianna. So when she purchased the Finding Color product line I was excited to see what she would do with the products. Needless to say I am loving the results.
Here Dianna used the Alstott Orange Action

On this image she used the ColorNut Sepia with a Purple tint

On this image she used "Cindy's Red" Action


Beautiful Ring shot which she used The ColorNut Sepia with TriCoast's Special Glow


Finally Dianna used TriCoast's V-Pop to give just a slight "pop" to the image


Thanks again Dianna for submitting these wonderful images, keep up the amazing work!

Rachel Ward Photography...
Rachel of Rachel Ward Photography was kind enough to submit some before and after photos for the Finding Color Blog along with a wonderful write up on her experience using the products. Thank you Rachel for taking the time and letting me know how you are Finding Color in your artwork.

I purchased the Finding Color DVD & actions a while ago. I just wanted to say thank you. You have no idea how much that DVD's done for me. I have been fairly proficient in PS for a while, but watching the DVD really set a fire inside me. Since I've first popped it in I've come full circle. Obviously I've only still scratched the surface but the small glimpse you provided in the videos really opened a ton of doors for me and I'm quite pleased with how far I've come in just a few weeks. My methods of post processing have changed tremendously, both with things I've
learned from you and NAPP as well as finding things out for myself.Anyhow, just thought I'd share that with you. And that I really appreciate how freely you share yourself with the rest of us. I think it says a lot about you as a person-- that not only are you horribly giving, but you're also extremely confident (and rightly so) because you feel you can share how you do things with even would-be competition. Kudos and many thanks! Rachel Ward of Rutherford, TN

Rachel stated that on the flower images above the one on the left is straight out of the camera (SOOC) and the one on the right she ran one of the Finding Color Preset on the image (Blue Contrast)
The bottom three pictures: The first is SOOC, the second is after she processed it and the third is when she applied Finding Color's X-IT Baby Action on it.
