With the holidays
out of the way, I have been organizing my spring teaching season, and this year
the programs are especially compressed.
It will be a busy and exciting time to cover photography, including an
introduction to digital photography, a detailed exploration of the amazing
image organizing and editing capabilities of Adobe’s Lightroom Classic, and a
fun spring weekend workshop shooting some of the most beautiful waterfalls in
southern Vermont and the Monadnock region.
This is just a
brief listing of the spring programs.
For those who are interested, I will be posting more details as the dates
approach, but since I keep the classes comfortably small, it always helps to reserve
your spots early. The best way to get
your name on the list is to send me an email and if you have any questions,
give me a call: 603-363-8338.
Introduction to Lightroom Classic – AND the
Transition to Photoshop
Six Tuesday Evenings March 3rd – April 7th 373 Route 9a Spofford (around my dining room table)
 |
| Lightroom Workflow |
With each new version of Lightroom, the program’s capabilities and features have grown. Its image management tools have improved, but the major advancement has been in its sophisticated editing capabilities. Lightroom’s Develop Module now is as fully capable as Photoshop’s Camera RAW, but Lightroom organizes these tools into a simpler and more intuitive workflow. The program also facilitates the sharing of images through Slide Shows, Books and simple Web designs.
 |
| Lightroom Magic |
Given its power and ease of use, for the majority of digital photography enthusiasts, Lightroom is all they will need to get started with image management and editing.
The Course
 |
| Around the Table |
From 6-8 pm, on six successive Tuesday evenings beginning on
March 3rd, we will gather around my dining room table in Spofford. The course will concentrate on Lightroom Classic,
which is the full desktop version of the program intended for photographers who
want to get the most from their images.
Adobe also offers a version of the program simply called Lightroom which
is designed for mobile users and will not be covered in this course. All the key functions of Lightroom Classic
will be covered primarily in live demonstrations, and although everyone will be
encouraged follow along on their own laptops, this will not be necessary to
benefit from the course.
If you, like many, are still confused about the different Lightroom programs, just know that the Lightroom and Lightroom Classic versions are both included among the options in the Adobe Photography Subscription Plan,
The expanded course will be $225.
More details will be coming soon on my blog at:

Introduction to Digital Photography Thursdays April 9 –
May 14 (excluding April 23rd) Keene High School
My introductory class on digital photography has evolved
over the years as I have tried to find better ways to inform and excite
students about the amazing capabilities of digital cameras. The course
includes 5 two-hour classes and two photo shoots. I cover a wide range of
topics from understanding the differences in camera types, to image file
formats, file management and archiving. Special emphasis is placed on exposure,
composition and the use of different types of light. All these topics are
applied to the results of the photo shoots. This class always fills very
quickly, so sign up early at : |

Spring Waterfall Weekend Workshop May 15th –
May 17th
 |
| Garwin Falls |
It may seem early
to anticipate my annual Spring Waterfall Weekend Workshop, but I’m reminded
that the snow on the ground is the raw material that will contribute to the
vigorous spring run-off.
 |
| Porcupine Falls |
Will meet on Saturday for an all-day shoot traveling to many of my favorite regional waterfalls and ending with an evening of pizza and sharing around my informal table. Sunday morning, we will gather again for more falling waters and I will let you all escape, exhausted but full of wonderful waterfall images, by noon.
 |
| Dummerston Veil |
It should be an exciting weekend and I’m looking forward to sharing many of my favorite spots.
To allow for individual attention, the workshop is limited to only 8 participants. The entire program including snacks and an informal dinner will be $195.
Get in touch as soon as possible, by email or phone, to get on the workshop list. I look forward to seeing you.
