Photoshop for Photographers Extended to Everyone!

Adobe has extended its Photoshop for Photographers offer to all comers!photoshopfp

That’s the news from Adobe today. The existing deal is that, up to 31/12/13, for $9.99 (€12.29) per month, photographers can get Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5, 20GB of cloud storage and a Behance Prosite (professional, customisable, online portfolio), but, to qualify, you have to be a previous owner of Photoshop CS3 or newer while being an existing owner of Lightroom or Photoshop Elements doesn’t matter.

Now, however, a special deal is available up to 2/12/2013, where you will be able to get the Photoshop For Photographers deal even if you’ve never owned Photoshop!

So, if it’s for you, this is a chance to get Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 and the rest for €12.29 per month. Get all the details here.

 

Strobist Workshop

The regular Group meeting at The Midleton Park Hotel on Tuesday 5/11/13 featured a Strobist workshop run by Tom Tattan and Denis Barry.

photo 4Tom gave an overview to the theory and practicalities of flash photography and gave a demo of the use of studio flash while Denis went through the reasons why it is a good idea to get the on-camera flash off the camera and demonstrated the various equipment normally used for this including, stands, brolly brackets, brollies, portable softboxes, reflectors and wireless triggers.

With a model in place (who turned up legless but that’s another story) the theory and equipment was put into practice and with images appearing projected on-screen, as shot, through the minor miracle of tethered capture, the subtlety of minor changes to power output, aperture, shutter speed and placement of light sources was apparent to all.

Thanks to Paddy Barker of Barker Photographic Limited Equipment and Supplies, Unit 18, South Link Park, Frankfield, Cork for supplying some demo equipment for the workshop.
