Extend your photography skills with flash!
If you are new to photography, shooting with a flash can be really intimidating . Or maybe you have learned your camera but are still confused about flash use. Shooting with a flash shouldn't be scary or overly-complicated, but there are basic skills that will help you get great results.
You will learn how to blend ambient light and flash, bounce the flash, set the power and range of your flash unit, how to use fill flash and other basic ways to manage the light needed for good photographs.
Then we will go fix perspective, HSL, Noise reduction and then we will work with presets.
Bring in some photos and if we get a chance we can work on them. I will show you how to roundtrip into Photoshop and other software.
You’ve figured out how to get your photos into Lightroom but now what do you do with them. LIghtroom is a powerful editing tool in addition to being able to organize your photos.
We will start with the basics of editing, exposure, contrast, vibrance etc. Then we will go to the adjustment tools, such as spot removal, the brush tool, red eye remover and so on.
Bring any camera you want to learn on, including an iPhone. The techniques I teach can be applied to any camera. Beach sessions will include instructions on using DSLRs and telephone cameras. It will be hands-on learning, with my suggesting ideas and having everyone try them. I then work with individuals to help them improve and have fun at the same time.
Attendees should be ready to get wet if they have a housing or are borrowing one. They also have the option of staying dry and shooting beach/wave photos from the shoreline. After we finish shooting, the class will move inside for a session on basic editing techniques and some in-depth work with advanced software.
Presets, collections, local adjustment. Are you curious about how to use these in lightroom? We will cover these and more! We will open up with learning about collections and what they can do for finding your photos. Then we are going to look at global and local adjustment. Presets can cut your down your workflow and you can also use other programs to edit your photos and then bring that photo back into lightroom. Finally, if you want to send these photos to your facebook or a website you can use an export preset to send your photos without having to save them to your hard drive.
IMPORTANT This is for folks with prior lightroom experience. Participants are urged to bring their laptops.

The Saint Augustine Camera Club (SACC) was established in September 2010 with a stated mission "to provide club members with educational information and enjoyable activities in the field of photography." At the end of the first meeting, the founding seven members had officers, a mission statement, a schedule of meetings, and a general idea of what they wanted to accomplish. Honoring that mission with a series of lectures, educational workshops and field trips, SACC has grown to over 130 members with a wide array of photographic skills and interests.
SACC works on their goal of continuous education through interesting speakers and presentations. Monthly assignments range from architecture to landscapes, people, nature, events, abstracts and everything in-between. These assignments are designed to get members out of their photographic comfort zones to explore new subjects and methods. The critiques on these assignments are entertaining and informative as members share their knowledge and expertise.
Our club fosters a social atmosphere where experienced photographers continue to offer expertise and advice to novice members, and the learning experience is beneficial to both. Our newly established members-only forum is encouraging the growth and benefits of our assignments and critiques.
As always, keep an eye on upcoming events and field trips on our Facebook page.
