Geoencoding images whilst location scouting using an iPhone, a camera, and Lightroom

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Location scouting for future shoots typically involves me driving around the local countryside looking for interesting places. I then take shots that I  store for future reference.  More often than not I end up driving along some gravel paths that I’ve never seen before, and if I don’t take note of where I am I can very easily forget how to return to a given place.  I’m famous for my total lack of any sort of sense of direction.

New Lightroom book by Nathaniel Coalson

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Nathaniel Coalson was kind enough to send me a copy of his new Lightroom book, “Lightroom 2 – Streamlining your digital photography process” in order to thank me for my contribution to the Lightroom community. Thanks Nathaniel!

Having had a good look at his book, I felt that I just had to blog about it. This really is a great Lightroom book; not only is it comphensive, it’s extremely clear and easy to read. Nathaniel has obviously thought long and hard about his presentation, and the result is simply excellent – the best I’ve seen. And the final cheery on the cake is that Nathaniel has separated the chapters with some wonderful colour images to inspire you to get out there and shoot…

I’d highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn more about Lightroom. And no, I’m not just saying that because he gave me a free copy!
