Photography Group - Lightroom Workshop #2

Workshop for Photography Members who have contributed an annual payment for 2022 

This is the second one day workshop using the Lightroom Classic software to be conducted by Peter Buck and Les Gunn. 

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 desktop computers. This workshop may also be helpful for those members currently not using Lightroom but are curious to know more.

The purpose of this workshop is to:

• build on your Lightroom skills introduced in Workshop #1.  Peter will review the "Develop" module and reinforce the post processing logic and hierachy of decision making for editing photos using sample photos distributed during the first workshop. In addition It is suggested that participants bring up to six images that they would like to edit during the Workshop, time allowing.
• Les will demonstrate Lightroom functionality for "sharing" your collection to other devices such as your iPhone, iPad, etc. but also with family and friends. Les will also demonstrate how to create and save a Slideshow of your photos.
• Peter will demonstate how you can create a photobook either for hardcopy printing or as an ebook.

This workshop will not be exhaustive in terms of covering everything possible. Instead, it will focus on the key processes 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 used by each workshop participant on the day. The collection comprises unprocessed Raw photos, so that the impact of processing will be clearer. The collection has a variety of images, to demonstrate the application of specific processing tools. 

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).
