Photography Group: One Day Workshop, Lightroom #1

Workshop

Due to popular demand we will run the first one day workshop using the Lightroom Classic software conducted by Peter Buck and Les Gunn. 

 

Processing is an important part of photography, producing final images that better reflect what we saw and felt at the time of capture. The Lightroom workshop will demonstrate the power (and ease with practise) of the software for managing photos and their database as well as the power of editing to high standards. In addition, Lightroom can share images and produce books and slideshows.

 

Whether you are a beginner or pro or somewhere in between, Peter and Les will provide a good overview of the Lightroom Classic Package.  There will be some theory given at the commencement of the workshop, however the bulk of the time will be hands-on with the participants using/sharing laptops and the group’s desktops. 

 

The purpose of this workshop is to focus on the key modules “Library” and “Develop”. The “Develop” module involves the processing of photos and will occupy most of the workshop time. This part of the workshop will not be exhaustive in terms of covering everything possible. Instead, it will focus on the key processing elements so that participants become better acquainted with the practical power of Lightroom and more comfortable with using the software. A more comprehensive understanding of the software only comes with use over time. To some extent the participants will determine the pace and direction of the workshop and lessons learnt.

 

A collection of photos has been compiled, to be given to each workshop participant on the day. The collection will comprise unprocessed Raw photos, so that the impact of processing will be clearer. The collection has a variety of in-camera results, to demonstrate the application of specific processing tools. 

 

In addition, it is suggested that participants bring up to six images for additional work that they would like to do, time allowing.

 

Attendees to bring:

• Max of 6 photos on a USB drive they would like to edit during the hands on sessions in the Workshop.
• If possible, a laptop computer with Lightroom software (If Yes please select the relevant "ticket" below).
