Outdoor Photographer November Issue

The November Issue of Outdoor Photographer has several means of expression for me.  The cover is Fitz Roy, Argentina.  A breathtaking view in this special place called Patagonia.  See page 20 for a description.

Next, OP Contributing Editor, Mark Edward Harris, has written a “Workshop Diary” article that describes his experience when he joined up with Jay Goodrich and me on the China workshop this year.  This is very helpful for people to get an idea of the daily rhythms that go on during a workshop.  There is a lot of work and learning that goes on amid the shuffling between hotels and transportation and meals.  It is really great fun.

Finally, I see NIK Software is running an ad for Silver Efex Pro 2 with one of my B&W images from Huang Shan, China.

I’d say I was pretty well covered for November.  Thanks, OP!

Lightroom 3 Help?

September 12, 2011 – Port Angeles, WA – With Jay Goodrich.

This 1-Day class follows Art Wolfe’s Olympic National Park Workshop. This is a great way to take what has just been taught in the field and learn to improve your process of development and managing large volumes of images with Lightroom 3.

As the popularity of digital image making grows, so does a photographer’s image catalog. How do we manage a hundred, thousand, or even 10,000 images? With the latest edition of Lightroom 3, Adobe is making the life of the photographer much, much easier. Photographer and writer Jay Goodrich has been using the Lightroom package since the first version, and is now offering a class to help those who are in need of a management solution for their collection of photographs. This one-day addition to our Olympic Peninsula workshop will begin with an overview of the Library and Develop Modules. Jay will then spend the rest of the time working with each participant to help catalog and maximize the images they created during the previous three days.

Price:$195.00

For more info e-mail Jay at jay@jaygoodrich.com

Note:  Participants in the Olympic Peninsula Workshop will need to book an extra night in Port Angeles. This class is open to anyone.
