Creating Great Photographs with Adobe Lightroom

A Course from the Image City Photography Gallery by Steve Levinson

Class will meet on four Wednesday Nights 
Dates: May 29 and June 5, 12, and 19
*
from 7 - 9:15 pm
or a little after, though I will stay after for individual questions
*note there has been a date change from when originally announced

(Call me if you want to take the class but have a conflict for one of the nights....we may be able to arrange something)

If you are like me, you don't want to spend your time learning and using an expensive, complex software package to import and optimize your photographs; but want to use your time using a simple, powerful and intuitive tool to produce stunning photographs. You can experiment fearlessly with color, exposure and more without overwriting your original images. 

You will be both create strong technical images as well as, if you want,  STYLIZE your photographs, expressing your artistic directions.

After taking this lecture and workshop course, you will be have a  workflow (or standardized process) that you can efficiently follow for every photograph you make:

  • importing images into your computer so that you can easily find them at a later time
  • selecting the best images using an organized process
  • creating a fine digital image and then
  • making a fine digital print or posting on the Internet 

Time will be available to practice and discuss both provided images and images from your own portfolio. RAW is the preferred original format for images, though high-quality JPEGS will also work.

Participants should be familiar with the basics of digital cameras, photography and transferring files to your computer.  They will also need to have or borrow an Apple or PC laptop computer for the course.  Software is available from Adobe on a free trial. Please do not download this software until the day before the course. Older versions of Lightroom are fine to use as well--just with a few less features. I do have one old laptop with an earlier version of Lightroom that you can borrow if you only have a desktop computer and cannot borrow one elsewhere. 

Location:  We will meet at the historic Pittsford Flour Mill, 15 Schoen Place, Pittsford.

Price:  The price for this course will be $190 and the class will be limited to a maximum of eight photographers. You can sign up and prepay for the course at Image City Photography Gallery, 722 University Avenue, 271.2540.

Contact: Steve Levinson ( steven.levinson@gmail.com  330.1490) for more information.

This course has been successfully taught over the last several  years and the response has been very positive....it is a great way to kick your photography up a couple of notches!
