Thursday, Nov 11, 2021 - Guest speaker: Confessions of a Real Estate Photographer (Steve Ricketts)
Real estate photography is about telling the story of a property so as to entice prospective buyers to see it. This talk will cover the aspects and challenges of real estate photography. Many of these echo basic photographic principles: composition, angles, leading lines, working with the triangle (ISO, shutter, aperture).
Beyond that, it's about handling the various types of inside/outside lightning (each with its own colour temperature), handling reflections, the challenge of using wide angle lenses, getting rid of distracting elements. These factors are relevant for shooting inside and outside any building, so these tips should be of interest to people shooting building interiors in general and also urban landscapes.

While I'm a landscape photographer at heart, I've been doing real estate photography for 4 years, both because it's a fun challenge and it helps to pay for my photography addiction. Plus, I get to see the interior of million-dollar homes.
Follow me on my journey as i share what I've learned over the years. |

Saturday, Nov 27, 2021 - Workshop: An Introduction to Adobe Lightroom Classic – Catalog and File Organization (Barry Headrick)
Is it time to start shooting in Raw not jpeg? Do you need an app to manage your growing collection of images? Are you new to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic or thinking about subscribing to it? If so, this two hour virtual workshop is for you! We will cover the key basic concepts in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic. We will learn how to organize and manage your catalog and image files using the five key parent folders for Lightroom Classic users. We will watch and discuss two brief clips from a Tim Grey YouTube video
The full video is one hour and 52 minutes. The basic four step Lightroom Classic workflow will be demonstrated: copy your new raw files from your camera's memory card to your computer, import your raw files into Lightroom, rate and edit your images, and finally export your selected images as jpeg files. As time permits, we will cover various image organization (Library module) and editing (Develop module) features in Lightroom Classic.
Note: this workshop is NOT recommended for experienced Lightroom Classic users who have already established their own Lightroom workflow and file organization. This workshop will be presented on a Windows PC but Mac users are welcome to attend.
