To all our great workshop students,

Last year David started a new addition to the photography workshops called Workshop Plus. This is a course held the day before the workshop begins. You must arrive one day early in order to take this class. This course starts at 9:00 a.m. , ends at 4:00 pm  and lunch is served around noon.  This is a beginner’s course to teach you how to use Lightroom. Taylor Stoecklein will teach you how to set up the program, import photos as well as explain all the basics of Lightroom. This is a fantastic course to get you familiar with your computer, Lightroom and your camera. This course will really prepare for the next two day of photography. Dave will be spending a great deal of time with you and the other students taking photos and processing them into Lightroom. This is the perfect jumpstart to your action packed weekend with Dave. If you have the time we highly suggest you come a day early and take this course.  Please email or call Sunny Mills @ (208) 726-5191 ext 15 or sunny@drsphoto.net  to schedule today. This course is a separate sign up from the workshop and is $550.00.  Adobe offers a free 30 trial for Lightroom and the link is provided below.
