Learning Lightroom
Sunday, May 20th, 1 to 5pm
@ VCP, 49 Flat Street, Brattleboro, VT, 05301
Course Description:
Students will learn the fundamentals of using Lightroom to organize, process and output (either as digital files or as prints) their photographs. Students will be introduced to each topic on the instructor’s screen and then given time to begin to develop their “muscle memory” by exploring the topic on their own computer with their own photographs. The session will end with a more extended period of individual work where the instructor is available to help guide the process.
Instructor:
Frank Gorga (www.gorga.org/blog) is an accomplished amateur photographer. His usual subjects are the landscape and wildlife, but he makes photographs of whatever catches his eye as he goes about life. He started photography around 1970 using a 4×5 view camera and switched to digital with the introduction of the Nikon D70 in 2004. As a retired chemistry professor, Frank is an experienced instructor in both classroom and lab settings. Frank also currently serves as the president of the VCP.
