I was handed a flyer from Mid-Cheshire Photographic Society last night. Apparently all are invited to the following talk, not sure if there is any charge or not. They have a website if you want to find out more, www.midcheshirecameraclub.org

Travelling with Lightroom by Simon Watkinson, Weds. 13th Feb.
There will be time spent on how to process B&W images using Lightroom (LR) or Photoshop (PS) and how to create consistent toning using LR. Images included in the talk to be discussed will include landscapes, portraits, travel images and reportage – showing that by removing colours the focus on the subject is concentrated.

Simon will talk about the images and his travels as he reveals what is possible with LR.

You can expect to learn the following from this lecture. How to create keyword sets prior to travel to speed up your workflow, star ratings and organisation. In the developer we discuss the histogram and how it relates to the basic developer and a comprehensive overview of the other palettes available. This will include B&W process and pre-sets for consistency. To conclude Simon will discuss output for social media, print and email.

The travel aspect of the talk will cover pre-planning, approach to subject and getting creative, how to photograph people and basic travel tips.
