Some additional Info From July 18 Camera Club Meeting - Lightroom

For those that were at the meeting Thursday night, here's the link to Matt Kloskowski's blog on Lightroom Organizing Mistakes

5 Lightroom Organizing Mistakes and How To Avoid Them

From the feedback in the room we need to plan on doing other Lightroom teaching sesisons in future club meetings.   There may be a day long Lightroom class in the future.  If you are interested in local Lightroom training now, check out Colby McLemore's Lightroom Bootcamp.  If you are interested in online training check out Kelby Training.

Scott Kelby's latest book - Lightroom 5 Book for Digital Photographers has just been released this week.   I highly recommend Kelby's books.

Also - here's a good article on shooting fireworks.

Eastman Camera Club Events for July

Events planned for this month include our monthly meeting on Thursday July 18 and an outing on Saturday July 20.

Regular Club Meeting at 6:00 PM Thursday July 18 in the Eastman Employee Center.  The program for this month is on basic workflow for Adobe Lightroom including importing photos,  organization, picking the keepers and getting rid of the duds.   This is not a comprehensive or even basic
Lightroom class but is limited.   You will get some suggestions to help with first steps.  We will offer other training in the future.   It's not necessary to bring a laptop with Lightroom but if you have a specific question you want answered you are welcome to bring it and some of the experts will be able to help.

We will also talk about suggestions for photographing fireworks.
