Our first Lightroom Workshop at Academy of Photography Excellence(APEX), Vansant Vihar, Delhi

It started with a very informal discussion with one of my mentors during a Photo-Walk.

It started with a very informal discussion with one of my mentors during a Photo-Walk. We were just discussing about an exhibition he was planning to host and complexities of digital manipulation in terms of color management and printing. This topic extended to get professional editing services for Photographs...With more discussions around the same, I also met few folks at APEX and planned for a basic workshop on Lightroom. Since Photography is becoming easily reachable thing due to Digital technologies, after few months folks also start feeling the need of some adjustments. There was the same case with folks learning Photography at APEX and other photographers around Delhi.For the first workshop we had enough participation and since it was hands-on workshop, we didn't want to have lot many folks, so there were only limited seatsIt was a great experience for me, as some of the folks had really tough questions for me. There were lot of interesting discussions around changing Photography style as per the editing style you are planning to apply.There were Photographers from different backgrounds and experiences... Like a lady who had just started Photography as hobby, some students, photographer from US who had been doing Photography for his business work and senior Photographers who had spent lot of years in industrial Photography..This workshop was mainly designed for folks who have never tried digital processing software or do very basic things in free software. Apart from processing photographs, Lightroom  comes with great power of organizing/managing multiple photo-shoots at one place.During this workshop I got to know about very surprising things like folks in India have started buying softwares and even two folks from this batch bought Lihghtroom after this workshop. Most of the folks in this workshop had their laptops with 30 days trial installed on those. People who were having no laptop, had an option to use APEX macs with versions of Lightroom 3.It was two days workshop with more focus on practical problems, lab exercises etc.Recently second workshop took place and now time to have another one for folks who would want to have a deep dive into Lightroom. Few folks form basic workshop have already registered for it and dates will be finalized soon.Many times, people started the discussion around Photoshop and main question was why not Photoshop :) ... Most of the folks hear of Photoshop that Photo-editing is also known as Photoshopping now.We mainly focused on Library and Develop Modules of Lightroom. Also touched upon Slideshow, Web and Print rooms of Lightroom. People who love web/internet, have wonderful options in Lightroom.Lightroom provides very clean workflow for photographers - Downloading, Importing, Sorting, Adding Metadata, Organizing, Processing/Editing, Correction Camera/Lens Distortions, creating slideshows or publishing on websites.Philip, sitting on other corner had really quality questions during this workshop and he was more interested in color management while printing Photographs. During basic workshop, we touched upon some very basic things and print is something that needs time for acquiring right details.Me, trying something on my laptop and things are getting reflected on LCD behind me.
