Lightroom Adventure - Day 1
Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 1:13AM
The adventure doesn't officially begin until Friday, but photographers are trickling into Hobart one by one. Yesterday there were only five of us, British Photographer of the Year, Jackie King, National Geographic wizard, Bruce Dale, Lightroom wiz and all around innovator, Peter Krogh, brilliant Japanese photographer and documentarian, Aihara Masaaki, and our host, Mikkel Aaland. You'll see images from all five in the video I whipped together from our first foray into Hobart last night.
Peter did that amazing 135 image montage of our plane landing in Hobart. The infrared images are by Bruce Dale. Many of the rest of the stills are from Mikkel Aaland. I shot and edited the video using the new Canon HV30 and Apple's iMovie '08. Thanks to Inverted Silence/Jim Kang for the song Berimbau.
We've been having so much fun, and the adventure has barely begun. If you're in Hobart, please join us for our closing reception Sunday evening, 13 April at the Henry Jones Art Hotel. We'll have prints on exhibition and for sale to benefit Save the Tasmanian Devil.
I spent part of the day exploring the waterfront and just got back from the Female Factory and the Cascade brewery. We're going to do some Lightroom work tonight and I'll start posting images tomorrow.
