The Live Learning Lab!

For a while now, my good friend Kerry Garrison (of Camera Dojo) and I have been working in concert with Nations Photo Lab to build a new interface up at their website for a learning resource guide, which will be serving up free monthly webinars!  With both myself and Kerry Garrison as hosts, we launched our first webinar yesterday with a sellout crowd of 100 people in attendance!  It was a lot of fun as we tackled several subjects relating to Lightroom and how to process your images.  I took on creative crop overlays and ND filters while Kerry handled the portrait retouching aspects of Lightroom.

Our schedule is the second Wednesday of every month so another will be forthcoming here in a few weeks for February.  We’ll be covering a lot more than Lightroom, including Photoshop, probably some photography composition techniques, and much much more.  We’re working on a guest host schedule too, so it’s worth checking out.  There’s no gimmicks, no fuss, no muss – just a way for the group to collectively give back to the entire community!  Each webinar is about an hour long (our first went about 15 minutes over), and they will all be accessible via instant archives immediately following the webinar too.  It’s great to view live because you can ask questions as you think of them, but if your schedule doesn’t permit, the archives will be available for your enjoyment too!

 

Photo Contest – Win Adobe Lightroom

Happy Saturday all.  It’s a rare weekend post here – since Friday was silent.  Two things – first off, Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there!  Second, as the podcast on Tuesday announced, don’t forget the first ever Learning Digital Photography Contest is under way – all during the month of May, submit your shots to the Flickr group (2 entries per person) for your chance to win a copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0!  Not only is it a great chance to win this wonderful program, but a great way to get increased visibility of your work and to network with others.

Information is available in the podcast, but you are welcome to just submit your entries directly to the Flickr group.  This is a prize package worth $300 retail, so definitely one worth entering!  Good luck and happy shooting!
