I wanted to take a second and mention the companies that support our workshops. When I was looking for sponsors for the Arenal Eco Adventure photo workshop in Costa Rica, it was important to me to work with people and products that I am proud to recommend and represent.
I wanted to do a post to address the Lightroom info that people are searching for lately. There are a few questions that seem to come up regularly. Here are a few of those questions, and some things I’ve helped my friends with lately. This is a simple thing, but it had a friend of [...]
