Lightroom is the essential software of choice for digital photographers on both Mac and Windows. Designed by photographers for photographers. Most if not all of your photographic software can be replaced by Lightroom. Participants will learn good digital workflow practices. Course not only covers all aspects Lightroom in detail but also key digital shooting practices.

Dave Hammaker has been involved with digital photography since the first professional digital cameras became available. He received his formal training in photography in the Professional Photography program at the Rochester Institute of Technology and is a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University.

He recently received Lightroom training at the prestigious D-65 Lightroom Workshop. D-65's Lightroom Workshop has been rated as one of the top photography workshops in the world by American Photography Magazine.

Info on Images for Bedford Show

2010-10-26T12:22:00.005-04:00

I just finished printing the photographs for my show in Bedford which opens on November 3. The show will consist of two distinct portfolios. A Journey Across Wales has 20 images captured during my May 2010 visit to South Wales. Monochromatic Visions has 31 images and includes several platinum/palladium prints made on hand coated paper. All images are printed on 100% cotton rag paper. With the exception of the platinum prints, they have all been printed with archival pigment inks using an Epson 7900 HDR printer. Longevity of the color prints is estimated at 80 to 100 years which is well in excess of of conventional color printing. The black & white prints are estimated to have a longevity of 200 to 400 years which is equivalent to traditional black and white silver printing. All longevity estimates are based on proper display and storage and have been obtained from Wilhelm Imaging (http://www.wilhelm-research.com/)
