PCU - Day 2 - Terry White and Workflow

Another day down...unfortunately.  It's rare that I actually go to an event and actually be an attendee.  It's nice to see others doing all the work and me getting to enjoy the benefits.  I vote for more of that please and a'thank you.


Today was work flow management with Terry White our instructor.  Not only is Terry an employee of Adobe systems, but a pretty darn good photographer as well...just check out his site.  He went over everything from equipment prep to site prep, to shooting and managing the models, to what to do with your images once done shooting.  Did you know that there is now an electronic model release form that can be used on the Ipad?  That was interesting to see how it works...and it seems to work very well.  No more paper forms to keep up with and file and search for and lose and etc, etc, etc.  We spent 99 percent of the day in Lightroom 3 with Terry shooting tethered so that the images would post directly to his laptop and then be shown on the projection screen so we could all see how the lighting set ups looked.  Westcott was also there and they provided all the lighting equipment for the shoot today. 


There was so much to absorb but I think I learned a couple of things. 


Tonight was also our big dinner and 'expo' night!  I was excited and was ready to shop as Precision gave us a voucher to be used towards the vendors that were there.  It's really a sad day when you have a hard time finding things to spend 50.00! bucks on...but never fail, I did find something  and that something is called an Expodisk (funny thing,  buying something that's named expo when that's where I spend a great deal of my life) that you use for color balancing your pictures.  I hope to be able to use is during tomorrow's session with Tony.
