Recap of Day 1, so much great information that my head feels swollen! No joke, Mike workshop is the most info loaded of the workshops I have attended over the past few years. We also have great shooting environments to practice what we are learning. The picture here was from the photo shoot on Front St. in Lahaina.

Lightroom 2.0 was just released. For those photographers who use the Lightroom program now, you can upgrade for just $99, those of you who have yet to use Lightroom, I strongly suggest you breakdown and invest in your workflow.
Enjoy more flexible, accurate enhancements by targeting a specific area of a photo for dodging, burning, and other local adjustments.
Utilize the advanced memory handling capabilities on the latest Mac OS and Windows® systems. Quickly arrange a photo for printing multiple sizes on one or many pages with flexible and customizable templates to make the most of paper and ink every time you print. Sort and filter large volumes of photos using powerful metadata filters to quickly find just the photo you want.

Over the past few months I have received a number of emails and calls asking for any tips to effectively get thru post processing and color correction work in Lightroom. I use a simple workflow, and can generally get thru a event of roughly 300-400 images in about an hour and a half. That's from Cards-upload...
When it comes to workflow it helps to be very organized and ready to work with the images. If there are too many distractions or your mind is wandering, working in Lightroom can take forever! I hear stories of more and more photographers getting stuck behind the computer for hours upon hours, editing and color correcting, and getting lost in all the buttons and controls of Lightroom. This simple workflow class might help quite a few photographers out simplify there workflow.
I will be offering my Lightroom Wedding Workflow class on Monday March 24th, from 4pm-6pm. This workflow class will cover:: Importing, Organizing, Color Correcting, Editing, and getting images ready for upload to Pictage, or any other web based client you might use.
If you are interested please email me soon as I am thinking of capping the number of photographers to 8. This will let me be more detailed for those of you attending.
The cost of the class is $49.00. The workflow class will be held in Paia. I am also thinking of doing a quick 45 min. portrait session to show some shooting styles before the class!
Hope to see you there!
Mike
