Camera Workflow 2

February 2, 2010 After a week of learning all our camera functions with Michael Cunningham, we were introduced to Adobe Lightroom 2 in the module Camera Workflow 2. Chris Alvanas, the director of the photography program in Washington, DC, is our instructor this week. Lightroom 2 is an Adobe program that photographers use to manage their photographs. Today we were introduced to the interface and learned to set up a few things like metadata, keywords and a few other preferences. Lightroom is an especially powerful program for managing and indexing your photographs. Through Lightroom we were able to display all the data that is embedded in the RAW files. Embedded data includes things like, camera and lens uses, lens settings, camera settings, flash use or not, time, date and it just goes on! After lunch we went out to shoot our next assignment, shadows and reflections. Tomorrow we will practice importing them from our memory cards on to our portable hard drives through Lightroom. Here are a couple of shots that I took.
