LightRoom Training Feb 2, 2012

      Kris Gay, owner of Bella Vita Studios and Best Lightroom Training, has over 20 years of professional teaching experience as a public school teacher and twelve years as a professional photographer. She has been teaching other professional photographers in on site workshops and online classes since 2006. Her work with other professional photographers focuses on using proven teaching and learning techniques adapted for the unique needs of adult learners. Kris teaches a variety of photography techniques and software programs. Why watch dozens of 5-10 minute YouTube videos from non-teachers that stumble through software, don’t explain fully, and don’t warn you of potential complications of using the tool or technique in the wrong way or at the wrong time? It can be so frustrating to watch the same video over and over and still feel like you just don’t “get it.” If you want to know which tool to use, why to use it, when you should or should not use it, and how to use it in a quick, clear, and easily retained class experience, then learn from an experienced teacher AND photographer with Kris Gay. With even your first class with Best Lightroom Training, you will see the difference that learning from a “teacher-photographer” makes in your learning experience!

Time: 6:30 P.M.

Also, bring a friend!

Steve is a very accomplished photographer and some of his work with tips can be seen on his blog site at http://crutchphotography.blogspot.com.

Steve will talk about the importance of experimenting with camera settings and shooting in other modes besides “Auto Mode”. He will bring a variety of ‘long lenses’ and discuss their various applications plus hold a question and answer session.  This should provide everyone with some answers as to what it takes to get blur free photos out in the wild and the environmental issues one can face.  Steve likes to take photo images of the birds of Florida and he and his wife make usually an annual trip there and sometimes twice per year.

Title: Interior Architectural Photography

Judy Cravy grew up in Ohio and moved to East Tennessee fourteen years ago.  She found work as a manager for a rental management company where her interest in photography was spurred by the need for rental cabin marketing photos to be placed on the internet.  Judy proceeded to earn her Certification in Photography from the University of Tennessee four years ago, and is a member of PPA and NAPP.  She presently owns her own professional architectural photography business serving Sevier County and the surrounding areas.

Her work includes homes, cabins, laboratories and churches.  Her clients are primarily rental management companies and cabin owners, but also includes Dollywood, Dixie Stampede, R&D Laboratories, and Worship Facilities Magazine.  Judy is a Nikon gal.  She shoots a Nikon DSLR and uses the Nikon Creative Lighting System as well as Photoshop CS3 in her work.

“I have not found any one photographic specialty; I just shoot what I see.”  Bob has spent 40 years working with computers for a living and 15 years with film photography as a hobby and 5 years shooting digital.   When Bob converted to digital photography, he found he was fascinated by the digital darkroom and excited by its level of control and he dug in to master it.  Bob currently has some of his work being shown in the Edward James Gallery in The Shoppes at the Roper Mansion in Dandridge, TN.

Bob will provide a presentation and show the steps involved in creating a 20 image portfolio.  Some of the project elements will include: Data Capture, Select Keepers, Post Processing, Select presentation folder, Select Paper, Craft format for Image display on paper, and Print and assemble a portfolio.  Bob will include image samples using Adobe Lightroom™ software and the enhancement and manipulation of images to get the final product.
