ECCG Blog Reaches the “100” Milestone

100blog

Earlier today, the 100th post on this blog was published, a milestone that seemed very far off in the distance when the idea of a blog for the Group, to bring photography-related news and information to members of the Group and beyond, was mooted back in January of 2013 .

On 1/3/13, the first post about a Group ‘food’ competition appeared with a view to perhaps, publishing one post per week thereafter, if possible. Less than twelve months later and we have nearly doubled that expectation, which will probably be achieved and exceeded by the time 1/3/14 comes round.

As in any undertaking, its success is down to many. Thanks to all the contributors, all the readers and all who have supported the blog over the past twelve months.

Roll on milestone number 200!!

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Workshop

lightroom-workshopWith the recent run of poor weather, which has led to the cancellation of a number of shoots, it was decided a safer bet to remain indoors this weekend for our second workshop of the year.

And so we headed to the comfort of the Midleton Park Hotel where our chairman Denis Barry presented a 3 hour workshop covering the basics of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, the industry standard software for organising, enhancing and sharing images.

Eight ECCG members were treated to a walk through of the basics from file import including tethered shooting through to image enhancement, geotagging, creating a photo book, printing and producing a slideshow and web gallery.

Thanks to Denis for a very educational morning.
