Tasmania Adventure

2009-05-04T02:59:56Z

I recently accompanied a team of photographers who spent ten days on the Island of Tasmania photographing for a book about using Adobe Lightroom. The book has some wonderful photos from our collective work, and is a great guide to using Adobe's Lightroom. Mikkel, the author of the book, caught the cover image of my rear end as I photographed the birds that he was coercing into the frame with bits of our lunch. Needless to say, we got a got a good chuckle out of it!

Aerial Photography of the Alaska Range

2008-08-07T21:04:06Z

I was recently in Alaska doing aerial photography of the Alaska Range to supply Denali National Park with a larger image library as a resource for climbers and rescuers. This photo is of the West Buttress Route on Denali taken from 24,000 feet in a Cessna 206. I had O2 for the flight, but even with o2, heading to 24K unacclimatized is a wild experience; I don't remember much from this flight! Thanks to the best photography shop in the Bay Area, Keeble and Schuchat, for their support of the project. It was their Canon 1ds Mark III and 24-105 lens that made this photo - one of my favorites from the shoot.

Copyright 2.0: Copyrights? Copyleft? What rights are left?

2008-04-18T20:27:30Z

Photographer Gerald Bybee and I pulled off organizing a very informative session last night in San Francisco. I work on the board with the local chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers. The ASMP seems a bit behind the times when it comes to the massive changes associated with the explosion on the web that are dramatically altering the photo industry and indeed the very fabric of our culture! So it was exciting to get the general counsel of ASMP and the VP of Creative Commons, along with some other well known lawyers to discuss the new world of Copyright 2.0 in a Hyper Digital Age.]]> Here is a summary of the event Here are some provacative email announcements that we designed for the event Here is VP of Creative Commons Mike Linksvayer's excellent 5 minute intro

In Tasmania Road Testing Adobe's LightRoom 2.0

2008-04-05T20:16:41Z

I am shooting in Tasmania as part of a project spearheaded by photographer, writer and technologist Mikkel Aaland. The project is described on the O'Reilly website as "a group of internationally renowned photographers will travel to the end of the world, literally, to the remote island of Tasmania. Their mission is to road test specialized digital photography software designed by Adobe while capturing images from one of the world's most mysterious and varied geographic locations" ]]> Read about the project here and keep to date with our daily blogging and image uploads In addition to shooting, I'll be the on-the-ground web producer - helping to aggregate and edit all those images we're capturing and publish them broadly across the web. The wheels are spinning for me to help to come up with the most efficient way that we can get our images out far and wide on the web and still have plenty of time to road test Adobe's software and to shoot. The plan, at this point (we all know about plans!), hinges on us using Digital Railroad to collectively manage our online assets. We'll do our daily editing there, and then code I wrote takes the most recent images uploaded to Digital Railroad and presents thumbnails or enlargements however I want to show them with a little code snippit that can be pasted into blogs and websites very easily. If you get a chance, take a peek at the website - and enter for a free trip to Tasmania

Jeff's Lightroom Workshop

2008-01-11T22:25:35Z

Lightroom Mastery Wednesday, January 23 Monday, February 4 6-10 pm In my opinion, with Adobe's Lightroom, I feel that photographers finally have a sophisticated and time-saving software tool that matches the challenges, new demands and opportunities of digital photography. Lightroom is 95% of what I use these days for post production and organization of a shoot. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use Lightroom efficiently and effectively for the post production RAW workflow from import images from a camera, organization, captioning and keywording in the Library module, to advanced color correction, spot removal, sharpening and more in the Develop module to publishing webpages in the Web module. ]]>
