Class Title: Basics of Lightroom
Class Description: Wed 23rd and Thur 24th
Spend the first day photographing and the next day processing your images using and learning Adobe’s Lightroom. Environmental portraits with portable strobes will be discussed and demonstrated for part of the first day and the other part spent photographing the natural world around us.
Bob has been using portable strobes since the early 80’s to enhance outdoor portraits of high school seniors, families, children and wedding parties. The added light really makes a difference in the final image. Additionally, he has been giving programs on nature photography since the mid 80’s to photographers and the general public. Time will be spent photographing nature found in and around the school demonstrating techniques used in recording the beauties of nature.
The second day will be dedicated to importing and processing these images into Lightroom. Lightroom has become the workflow program for today’s photographer. Bob will demonstrate some of the cool tools found in Lightroom and how he uses them for his portrait and nature photography. He will also show how easy it is to prepare a set of images for uploading to your web site. A skeptic of Lightroom when it first arrived, now he would not want to be without it.
