Another week beckons, which spells another installment of Photoclub workshop! This week’s workshop is all about the post-processing of photos, and we’ll be teaching you the basic skills of Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3, and how to make good use of the tools available in these two programs!
This time round, you will not be sitting in a lecture theatre and listen/take notes. This workshop will be a hands-on experience! Nope, you don’t have to bring your own laptop and better still, don’t have to worry about not having these programs in your computer because we’d booked computer labs for you guys! You will have access to computers that already have PS CS5 installed. All you have to do is follow the demonstrations to learn how to use them! Simple as thaaaat :D:D:D (But if you feel that you’ll be more comfortable using your own laptops, feel free! Trial versions of CS5 and LR3 can be downloaded at Adobe.com!)
Due to the limited number of spaces available in the computer labs, registration for this workshop is essential. We’ll be holding 2 separate sessions, 1.5 hours each. Both sessions will cover the same content, so just register for the time that’s best suited for you. First come, first served bases 🙂
For a rough idea of what are some of the techniques that we’ll be covering in this workshop:
1. Colour and lighting enhancements (Curves, sharpness)
2. Air Brushing
3. Content Aware – that’s a tool to remove unwanted objects in the photo, without distorting the picture! Trust me when I say this is VERY USEFUL. But makes you a taaaad lazy! 😛
4. Working with different file formats.
5. Workflows
6. AND MOOOOREE! (Possibly Liquifying as well, making you look slimmer, brawnier, better complexion and (fill in your own expectation of a perfect photo!)
Date: 1st April 2011, Friday (This workshop is NOT a April’s Fool prank! We WILL be there, we’ll see you there!) (And no, please don’t play a prank on us by registering and not turn up. We’ll cry.)
Time: First session at 3 – 4.30pm. Second session at 4.30 – 6pm
Venue: Robert Webster Building (Opp Red Centre). Details will be emailed to you once you’d registered.
And if you are asking how you can register? YOU REGISTER HERE!
Cameras are not required for this workshop.

Next up. Digital Darkroom Hands-on Critique session
Our dear members, you are welcome to pop in at any time during the aforementioned location and time with your photos for any advice on how to improve them by using Photoshop or Lightroom. Our club execs are experts at post-processing, and they will show you how!
Especially to those members who just done the Model Shoot yesterday, it’s highly recommended that you bring in photos from the model shoot for this session. And to allow everyone to have a chance to get some constructive advises from our club execs, each member is limited to bring up to 4 images. Everyone wants a turn 🙂
We regret to say this, but there will be no Pizza night this week due to time and location constraints. We will be holding the Pizza Night next Friday instead!

And our weekend outing resumeeees! This weekend, we’ll be holding a coastal walk – Watsons Bay & South Head. If you like to do landscape photography, or particularly coastal landscape, or if you simply just wanna walk along one of Sydney’s wonderful coastal walks, JOIN US this weekend!
We will be taking the ferry from Circular Quay to Watsons Bay, where we will be taking a quick stop at the Gap before heading over to Camp Cove and walking the loop track to South Head (and back), shooting landscapes all the waaaaay!
(I reckon the above sentence that I just made is just a string of the names of places. Let me attempt to do this again.)
1. Circular quay to Watsons Bay via ferry
2. The Gap
3. Camp Cove
4. South Head (and back)
Ok I’m satisfied. This is clearer 😛
We’ll appreciate it a lotttt if you are punctual for this outing, because we don’t want to miss the ferry! Which ferry? This ferry! We will be catching the ferry at 2.10pm, and then the 5.40pm or 6.10pm ferry back! Kindly also note that the ferry is an external transport cost that is not covered by the club.
Date: 2nd April 2011, Saturday
Time: 2 – 6pm
Location: Meet at Wharf 4, Circular Quay
*drumrollls* Open to UNSW Photoclub members only. I know you might run the risk of dropping your awesome-looking membership card into the waters but we still need you to bring them for identification purposes 🙂
