Then looking and analyzing examples from attendees. Instructor: Bruno Chalifour Quick reference to Session 1, reminding previous attendees of what they should know, introducing others to what they should learn.

Creating the Fine Digital Print with Adobe Lightroom Instructor: Steve Levinson Dates: Tuesdays, April 23, 30, May 7, 14 It is easy to find yourself spending more and more of your time learning complex and expensive imaging software and finding and selecting your best images rather than in the creative steps of taking images and making them look as good as possible. After taking this lecture and workshop course you will be have an efficient workflow (or standardized process) that you can efficiently follow: importing images into your computer so that you can easily find them at a later time, selecting the best images and then creating a fine digital print or posting on the internet. We will also briefly cover making books using BLURB. Time will be available to practice on both provided images from the instructor and about a dozen images on a thumb drive that you bring from your own portfolio that you would like to work on. RAW is the preferred original (camera) format for images, though high quality JPEGS will also work. Participants should be familiar with the basics of digital cameras, photography and transferring files to your computer. They will also need to have or borrow a laptop computer (Apple or PC) for the course. Software is available from Adobe on a free, one-month trial basis. (Please do not download this software until the day before the course, so that it will be available for the four sessions.) Classes will meet on four Tuesday nights (from 7-9PM, though I will stay after for individual questions) on April 23, 30 and May 7 and 14. We will meet at the historic Pittsford Flour Mill, 15 Schoen Place, Pittsford. The cost will for this course will be $ 165 and be limited to a maximum of eight photographers. Please contact Steve Levinson (steven.levinson@gmail.com, 330.1490) for more information. Preparing a Portfolio Instructor: Bruno Chalifour Date: Thursday, April 18, 2013 We all have images, hundreds, thousands of them. We select a few, often individual ones, to show, and the rest fill our hard drives. A good photo portfolio is the best next step for not only what to do with your current images, but what to photograph next: producing a good portfolio helps you become more critical about your own images, allows for more time spent with your images, more time to understand how they, and ultimately you work. Precisely and effectively selected images bring out content and visual qualities For not only their maker but their viewers as well. The carefully selected group of images has to be at the same time entertaining, moving, esthetically pleasing, and sometimes even thought-provoking. A good definition for a good portfolio is an ensemble whose content and form go beyond the sum of its constituting elements, images. The goal of this presentation, taught by a photo critic published in the USA, the UK, France, Canada, and Australia, and a portfolio reviewer at international events in the USA, Canada, France, and the UK, and former editor of Afterimage magazine, will introduce you to the various aspects of what constitutes a good portfolio, will help you take your images beyond the single image to the stage of an organized project expressed in a well-organized portfolio. This is a great presentation to attend to help you improve your overall
