While our blogs are meant to showcase Collin County and the wonderful things that you can do here, it is foremost a photography website showcasing the work of Barry Benton and David Downs.  We hope to share with you images that inspire you and that help you grow your own photography skills.  So occasionally, we will share tips and ideas on photography.  One of the ways that we hope to help is through workshops where you can learn certain skills or have a chance to practice with professionals who can offer you hints.  

Our upcoming workshop, Introduction to Adobe Lightroom, will help you grow in skill and organize your images so that you can easily find and showcase them. This day long course, led by David and Barry, will help you learn how to easily locate an image and choose the best one.  When you go out and take hundreds of images, it is important to organize them in a way to quickly find them so that you can improve or augment them for use as display or gifts.  

Sometimes you take a great photo with perfect light, composition, and beauty, yet the photo looks dark or off in some way.  Lightroom can help you improve these imperfections to get the photo that you meant to take.

Join us August 26 at NYLO in Plano for a great and informative day that will improve your photos and make your life easier!  Lunch and beverages are included. Register at www.citystock.photos/workshops
