Lightroom Seminar on Web Site Development

Based on the questions I received from a presentation I did last night for the Charlotte Photography Meetup Group in North Carolina, I have decided to put together a few seminars that build on the concepts that I showed were possible with Lightroom.

My thoughts right now are to do a basic seminar that uses the Lightroom Web Galleries that came with the product and maybe a few other third party plug ins that are relatively simple. I might include some information on various web hosting services that work well with lightroom and how to set that up as well. I thought we might then do a second, more advanced seminar on setting up an E-Commerce site to sell photography. My intention would be the basic seminar would be for 'newbies' to using the web module and the advanced would build on those concepts.

I will put together a summary of the topics we could cover and then get that over to the guys at the Charlotte Photography Meetup Group to see if there is enough interest.

My thinking now is that we could plan this for the late summer to give me enough time to prepare material and a workbook that provides both reference and exercises to make sure we learn the material.

Comment here if you are interested in having me do this!

Charlotte, NC Photography Meetup Group

I was honored to be asked to speak to a great group of people at the Charlotte Photography Meetup Group last night for their June meeting. Let me tell you that this group, 900+ strong, has a fantastic network for budding photographers and semi-pros alike. Let me tell you a little about them.

The group was founded on the principle of sharing photography and technique. Today the group has a growing library that members have access to, photo trips, opportunities for learning seminars, monthly photo contests centered around a theme and just plain fun. Dues are more than reasonable and help pay for meeting space, etc. See more about them here.

I would strongly recommend that you check this group out and consider joining even if you don't live in Charlotte. You can still be active with some of the out of town events and the calendar on the web site is well formatted and easy to use.

Great group of great people!
