    2. Diaan

      Of course, for a more affordable version, just make some cool coloured pictures and load them on your phone. ;)

    1. Sheri_G

      Sounds like a fun idea... Maybe myself and Gari_G will join you :)

    2. barnardinho

      Excellent. We're a group of 5 or 6 thus far. All welcome.

      Need to update with details of where we'll meet, but reckon around Juta & Melle is a good place to meet.

    3. sfiso

      Hi Johan

      I wont be able to make it :( going away for weekend. ill catch next one, enjoy!

    4. Lebogang Ditibane

      not around this weekend too

    5. barnardinho

      Capitalist pig-dogs. What is this 'going away' business?

    6. barnardinho

      Hi Sheri ...

      and anyone else following this note:

      I suggest we meet outside the Lomo shop on Juta street at around 3:15 tomorrow with the plan to head out at 3;30ish

      I suggest a walk around Braamies and into Newtown, although we can see where the flow takes us. We'll probably get in about 2 hours of shooting. If you're keen for sunset/early evening shots bring along a tripod.

    1. lebogang nkoane

      I use it. Main reason is 'history' and my originals are left untouched.

    2. Moeketsi Lebakeng

      i have used it a couple of times wait no most of the time.

    3. Sudijons

      Since the discovery of Photography on earth republic, Sudijons always use Lightroom and I have not bothered to learn other editing tools since then. it is an amazing editing software, it does great job, Plus when I do a mass editing. Saves hell of a lot of time.

    4. novocaine

      Nice. I like the workflow. VSCO film presets are also pretty amazing!

    5. Matt

      Same here...the workflow and storage is awesome in Lightroom. I've played with Aperture as well, but moved back to Lightroom. I'd say it's well worth the money. We need a export to 75 plugin :)

    6. lebogang nkoane

      hahaha! indeed.

    7. Lebogang Ditibane

      use it too all the time, 99% of all my shots go through it. the best button on it especially when youre working with tons of pictures shot on the same day -----> "Previous"

      I love that button!

    8. Thato Sehlabela

      I used it... When I had it :( . Wouldn't mind getting it again though

    9. Mpumelelo

      I edit most of my photos on Lightroom,
      today i learned how to do tethering on it and this is what i've beeeeeeen looking for.

      I agree, the workflow and storage is too dope.
      @novocaine I've been using the VSCO keys for Lightroom and its cut my post production time.

    10. Sheri_G

      Mmmm... Im gonna disagree, I have used Lightroom and found its image editing capabilities to be very limited. Everything that I could do in Lightroom I could do in Photoshop plus a lot more... But Photoshop takes a lot of practise and has no presets, but once you start to master it you will never look back.

    11. lebogang nkoane

      Sheri, I hear you 'bout photoshop — its bigger than Lightroom in what it can do, but my problem with it, is it's changes are permanent. You'd have to save a PSD everytime, and PSD are hella large.

      Whereas lightroom keeps record of every single thing you change in small text file. Makes it easier to change and modify later, and it also doesn't affect your original photograph.

    12. novocaine

      Hmmm Sheri, you're entering into the realm of the question of where post production should end. As far as many people are concerned you should only change what can be changed in an actual darkroom. I'm not sure where I stand on that, we have to modernise...

      But yeah for me, a person who doesn't want to learn photoshop and who doesn't like the overly slick magazine type photos... lightroom is perfect. :)

    13. Diaan

      Lightroom is definitely one of my most used tools. I like using it to organise my collections. I also use all the other usual suspects though, like Photoshop.

      I like the non-destructive way Lightroom works on images and how easy it is to do quick, minor adjustments. Photoshop is for the heavy lifting and processing of scans via the ColorPerfect plugin.

  5. Are Photographers Spending Too Much Time Screwing Around And Not Enough Taking Pictures?

      Sounds like this guy is projecting his own productivity issues on everyone else. I'm sure psychologists would have a grand time looking in to this. ;)

This is the dialogue, the conversation as it happens within the notes.
