Introduction to Nikon Cameras with Melissa Jones
New to Nikon photography? Get the ins and outs of the Nikon camera line with this special class and workshop.
We’ll start with a class that provides a general rundown of Nikon cameras, their menus and what basic functions photographers need to know to start getting great photos! Then on Saturday, Sept. 22, go in-depth with your Nikon camera in a day-long workshop designed to give you hands-on, one-on-one training with your camera. We’ll explore some of the “hidden” features of the cameras, plus a few essentials and a couple of tricks to take you out of Auto mode and into options that create stunning photography.
The class is not required for the workshop, and vise versa. The class will provide a quick, basic introduction, whereas the workshop will more in depth. Separate registrations are required for both.

Learn Lightroom CC Classic Weekend Workshop August 17-18, 2019
This is a two-day workshop with hands on classroom instruction. You will go through the entire process and develop a digital workflow on your computer with your images. We will learn to organize our entire photo library using the powerful database tools of Lightroom from import all the way through to delivering finished photos. We will learn to use the develop module to process our images to achieve the best image possible.
Learn what the difference is between Lightroom CC and Lightroom CC Classic and which is best for you. We will learn the new features in Lightroom
Learn Complete Digital Workflow
Using Adobe Lightroom
- Learning to apply keywords and setting up a proper keyword hierarchy will save countless hours locating photos in the future and for online searches when you publish to the web. You will learn to use collections, smart collections and additional metadata to make organizing your entire library fast and efficient.
- You will learn to achieve fantastic tone and color using simple sliders and using the new greatly improved sharpening and noise reduction, you will think you have a new camera. The new lens profiles and their manual controls allow for correcting lens distortions or creating dramatic effects. Dodging and burning are simple tasks in lightroom using the adjustment brush. All of this in a totally nondestructive work environment designed to speed you through the process.
- Even with all the power of lightroom there will still be times when you will need the full power of Photoshop, and you will learn how to make the two work together for a seamless workflow.
- After developing your images, they will be ready for export, and you will learn how easy it is to get the file type and size you need.
- Participants will need a laptop computer with current version of Lightroom CC Classic installed and some images (Adobe offers a free 30-day trial).
This workshop is normally $399 and will be offered to PSNWA members for $200
What to bring:
- laptop computer with Adobe Lightroom installed (there is a free trial you can use from Adobe)
- Notebook / pen / pencil to take notes
We will take a lunch break.

| “Get your kicks on Route 66…”
Take a tour of the iconic highway and its unique and colorful roadside attractions, and learn from one of the best photographers around in this very special two-day event! Included in this workshop/tour is guiding and instruction by Greg Disch. Greg will be available throughout the workshop to assist you to get the best photos, whether by learning a new technique or just working on improving composition. Also included is one nights lodging based on double occupancy. Travel will be by carpooling. A custom guidebook written by Greg, of the locations and route during the trip, which will include historical information about what we are photographing will be given to each participant before departing. REGISTRATION IS LIMITED TO 12 PARTICIPANTS. This is an adventure to not only guide you to the best photo locations and opportunities, but also to teach you to shoot better images by learning to visualize before taking the shot and think more about the image than the camera settings.
