We talk about stuff like THIS on my workshops and at my seminars.

Got HDR?


If not, bring your tripod on a workshop and I’ll show you how to shoot for HDR and process your images – turning boring snapshots like the image on the left into more creative images, as shown below.

Feedback from Rick’s  (Maine Media Workshops) Oct: 2008:


















With regard to the class, it was  fantastic. Your energetic style worked well for me. The  camaraderie  that developed was  special  and largely because of the tone  you set. – Bob Levy


As for the class it was great but you must hear that often.– James Woodward


I wanted to thank you for the great tips and the energy you brought to us. I had a great week. – Bob  Mimiaga

Just wanted to drop a note and say thank you for a great week. I truly

had a wonderful time working and photographing with you. – Heather Wilson


I certainly feel my photographic abilities grew a tremendous amount from your excellent and patient instruction during our week together at the Maine Media Workshops. We did indeed  "kick ass" Friday evening according to our group consensus.  Bob and I came away knowing we now do understand the difference between taking a picture and making a picture and plan to keep that momentum going. – Don Levy


Thanks for the evening of pizza [at your house] and painting with light.  You have infectious enthusiasm. – Jen Eston (from Steve’s class)


I am excited about the interaction we had. It really enjoyed working with

you. It was an eye opener in many ways. And personally very rewarding. I

felt like a had met a likeminded spirit. - Tom Louis


I really appreciate you're remarkable effort. You helped me out more than you know. I look up to you so much as a professional photographer it was amazing to work with and learn from you. That simple conversation we hadd made me realize that I can do anything – and if I work the system right and have the dream my dreams can be reached. And, thank you so much Rick Sammon. I hope to run in to you again soon in the future. Thank you fore you're time and knowledge and glowing personality. – Lauren Owens


The best thing I learned was how easy it was to have fun with HDR - from creating a near-painterly quality image to a more "photographic" depiction of the scene. – Nicholas Ragovis
