Here's some shots from last years late night photowalk at BarCamp.

No, I don't get any commission from Adobe for p*mping Lightroom, LOL! As I said at Photo Camp I kind of feel that I've grown up with it as I watched the program improve from Beta 1 to 4 to 1.0 and listened to the Podcasts and except for the lack of unsharp mask functionality, it really is a "do ALL of your digital photography workflow" for serious amateurs who shoot a lot of "giggage" and heck it seems like a lot of pros are using it too (and unlike Aperture it runs on my three year old Powerbook G4). Anything requiring more editing requires a program like PhotoShop or Elements, etc. I definitely am saving my pennies and hope to buy Lightroom at the initial offer price of $US 199.

I only wish that I had felt better so I would have taken more photos; it seems that every Northern Voice I end up being a little sick. More rest for 2008!

There was a lot of talk on workflow, something that is increasingly becoming an issue for your average digicam hobbyist. In particular, Roland Tanglao gave a presentation on Adobe Lightroom, and Adobe ought to put that boy on commission, because I bet fifty people are going to buy it. That would include me.

I'd love to do a 6-8 hour PhotoCamp (thinking out loud program: eat, photowalk, a few sessions, photowalk, a session or 2 and then go home?)! In the 1 hour PhotoCamp session at BarCamp, I learned a lot! Kris you in? Anybody else in ? Love to have VanDigiCam (and other Vancouver digital photography groups) co-organize this!

I will be creating a 1-3 minute movie using some cool Derek Miller music as part of Photo Camp from 1:35-2:05pm. Friday February 10th using Photo To Movie at Northern Voice MooseCamp out of photos tagged "Moosecampmovie" (must have Vancouver theme, bonus points for a Moose and Vancouver tie in) in flickr OR in the Moosecamp Movie Flickr group OR just send email them to roland AT rolandtanglao.com AND that are:

• Creative Commons Attribution licensed OR
• CC Attribution non commercial OR
• where the author gives me permission to use his/her photos and distribute the movie with the photos for non commercial purposes on blip.tv, You Tube, Google Video, etc.

Looking forward to seeing you at MooseCamp and making a cool movie out of your cool photos!
