June Night Photography Outing

We had our second night shooting event last night. I have to say that it was great fun. We had a great group of people; some experienced night shooters some, just learning. Everyone, however, had a great time.

We had 12 photographers join us at the Denver Skate Park where we started shooting under a cloudy sky. By night's end, we shot for four hours and traveled three blocks. 

The photographs I've seen are beautiful. I can't wait to see everyone's posting on the Flickr group page.

We're making this a monthly event. Make sure to subscribe to the newsletter for updates on coming events and photography workshops. Click here to subscribe.

As always, Happy Shooting,

Lightroom with Nathaniel Coalson

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a program which suffers from an identity crisis. The consensus is that "it's like photoshop" or it replaces photoshop or that is somehow is only for professionals. I am finding that a great portion of the photography population have little concept of what Lightroom. The rest of us wonder how we ever lived without it.

Lightroom is a powerful program for organizing, editing, printing and publishing your digital photographs. It's amazing how efficient it is at all this. 

I've talked to photographers who have had to edit thousands of photographs by using either their operating system finder application or photoshop's bridge app and they're overwhelmed by the editing process. They're inundated with proofs. Lightroom makes all this easier... so much easier.

For starters, you can have your photographs spread over multiple hard drives. You can have photos in multiple "Collections" and you can add keywords to hundreds and thousands of photos at a time. After importing your photographs into the Lightroom Library, you can crop, color adjust and make global edits to your images without having to open Photoshop. 

Once all that is done, Lightroom makes it easy to print with easy-to-find printer profiles and posting galleries to your website hasn't been easier. 

If you shoot more that 20 photographs a week you need you know about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. We've got workshops all year long, check us out, we're right here in Denver, Colorado.
