SUMMARY:Adobe Lightroom processing workshop
DESCRIPTION:Hi Folks\,\nWe had a very well received evening of image processing on February 6 led by Leigh Reeves as part of the member speaker series organized by Jay Linsenbigler. Five of us worked on Leigh’s image in real time then compared our final products to his vision. It was an excellent learning experience for all of us. Several members suggested having a follow up processing session so let’s go!! \nI will lead an Adobe Lightroom processing workshop on Saturday\, March 4 from 9-11 AM in the BPS suite 326 at the GoggleWorks\, in-person only & not on Zoom. This will be a free session\, limited to dues-current BPS members only. An RSVP to this email that you plan to join us would be greatly appreciated. If there is questionable weather that day look for a status update email. \nThis will be an interactive session. Attendees are encouraged to bring laptops with Lightroom installed to follow along with the processing steps but that is definitely not required for the workshop. Internet service will be available to run Lightroom\, as needed. I will address some basic Lightroom steps then process a few of my own images as examples of how I use Lightroom. I would ask that those attending either email me one or two unprocessed images &/or bring an SD card with the images loaded to The GoggleWorks so that I can process them with the group. This is not mandatory but will add to the fun. Ideally\, these images would be RAW files so that the full potential of the files & Lightroom can be achieved but JPG files would still work. If the image file size is greater than 20MB & you are going to email the file then use WeTransfer or Dropbox to do so as that size will be too large for an email attachment. I will try to get through everyone’s images but that will be limited by the time factor. I apologize in advance if your image is not processed. \nAs in the case for all BPS in-person sessions\, BPS highly recommends that all participants be up to date with Covid vaccinations per the definition of the CDC. Please avoid joining us if there has been a known exposure to Covid within the past 10 days. If there is any question of symptoms then do a Covid test before coming to the session. Masks are optional & welcomed. \nEmail me if you have any questions. Hope to see many of you\,\nvince.pellegrini@berksphotographic.com \nVince Pellegrini

SUMMARY:March 20\, 2023: Alan Ross will do a hybrid Zoom presentation titled “The Magic of Black-and-White”.
DESCRIPTION:March 20\, 2023: Alan Ross will do a hybrid Zoom presentation titled “The Magic of Black-and-White”. \nAlan feels that black-and-white\, by its very nature\, is an abstraction of “reality”. A sky can be light or dark without looking wrong. Colors can be skewed without anything looking wrong. But with color\, unless doing something clearly wild\, there is an expectation of “reality”. A green sky or purple skin just looks wrong! This abstraction quality of black-and-white provides a freedom of creativity & expression that has captivated Alan since his very first forays into photography. Although Alan has done a lot of color in his career & has some things that he’s thrilled to have done\, in the end\, it seems black-and-white is always what grabs him. \n Join Alan as he shares with us how he “sees” in black-and-white\, explores what makes a successful black-and-white image & shows us his favorite tips & techniques for converting images to black-and-white for a tonally rich final image. \nUsing his vast portfolio of exquisite black-and-white images\, Alan will walk us through the magic of black-and-white\, including: What makes a successful & compelling black-and-white image; How to use the colors in a scene to interpret & express the feelings you want to convey; Creating this magic with film or pixels…using filters for film & a range of conversion options from digital captures; Simplifying post-processing & learning why many do-it-for-you black-and-white conversion applications may not be the best option. If time allows\, Alan will use one or two BPS member images to demonstrate his approach to post-processing that emphasizes interpreting shapes\, colors\, textures & relationships in a scene. \n \n\nAlan Ross is an internationally respected master photographer & educator who worked side-by-side with Ansel Adams as his photographic assistant. He knows Adams’ approach & technique perhaps better than any other photographer today. He also continues to be the exclusive printer of the Yosemite Special Edition negatives\, an assignment Adams selected him for personally in 1975. Alan makes each print by hand from Adams’ original negatives using traditional darkroom techniques. \n\n \nAs an artist\, Alan is best known for his tonally exquisite black-and-white photographs of the American west. His photographs hang in collections & galleries around the world. As a photographic educator\, he specializes in helping photographers realize & express their photographic vision at any skill level & using all formats & styles. \nAlan lives in visually captivating Santa Fe\, where he pursues his own work\, teaches one-on-one & small-group workshops in the art of seeing & master printing\, & writes articles & blogs sharing his vast knowledge of the art & craft of photography. Learn more about Alan & see his work at www.alanrossphotography.com. \nThis will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation. For non-members interested in attending\, please register by making your $10 donation at https://store.berksphotographic.org/product/club-donation/. At checkout\, please specify “Alan Ross March 20” in the order box. Once BPS receives your donation\, your pass will be emailed to you.
