Do you own a Canon or Nikon DSLR and need help figuring out what all of this buttons are? Well, this course is a hands-on workshop designed just for you.
Take control of your photography. Photographer Melissa Jones (Nikon) and Brad Maxwell (Canon) will help you go beyond your camera’s Auto mode and master the fundamentals of photography using a Nikon or Canon DSLR camera. With in-depth explanations of each topic followed by hands-on demonstrations, you’ll learn the skills to take your photography to the next level, no matter what type of Nikon camera you use.
Join Brad & Melissa for a one-day workshop to get hands-on instruction on your camera. The workshop will include an outdoor photo shoot, weather permitting, on the Fayetteville Square.
This workshop is designed to work in tandem with the Introduction to Canon & Nikon classes in September 2019. 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).
