"Cityscape photography" is a bit like landscape photography, but with tall and short buildings instead of trees and shrubs and skyscrapers instead of mountains.

But it's not only about "city landscapes," but also about capturing the life of a city or town. In short, Cityscape Photography is about capturing the images and stories of the urban environment.

In his presentation Steve Rosenbach talks about the equipment you need, how to find great locations, what to look for, and when to photograph, and more. Lots of example images are included to stimulate your imagination and motivate you to go out and shoot your city, town, or village.!

This video is 1hr 40min (the last 15 minutes are a Q&A session.)

Here’s a special video for beginners and anyone else who can benefit from a thorough walkthrough of photography basics.

Do you find yourself asking questions like …

+ Why not keep my camera on Auto?
+ What’s with this “f” thing, and why do I care about what shutter speed I use?
+ What does it mean when they say a lens is “fast?”
+ What does it mean when a lens is "telephoto?"... "wide-angle?"
+ What’s the difference between a “full-frame” camera and one that’s not?
+ What are the advantages and disadvantages of RAW versus JPG?
+ How do I move from taking snapshots to making interesting images?

Then this is just the video for you!

This video is about 1 hour and 20 minutes, followed by a Q&A session.

This set of three online training sessions will quickly take you from zero to 60 in just one weekend!

Shooting with RAW format is the best way to capture any scene, but straight out of your camera, RAW images will often look like the top photo at left. It’s frustrating, because in real life, the scene was much livelier, with detail in the trees and blue sky with clouds.

There is a lot of hidden information, however, in that RAW file, and with Lightroom, you can transform your image to reveal what’s truly there, like the photo at bottom left. 

Starting from an assumption of no knowledge of Lightroom, by the end of the weekend, Steve will take you through all the underlying concepts, tools, and workflow that you will need in order to bring out the very best in your images. 

In Part 1 of this training, Steve will start you on your journey of mastering Lightroom, with topics including:

• Understanding how Lightroom works
  

• Importing - how to get your images into Lightroom
  

• Introduction to the Library Module

  • A tour of the Library Module
    

  • Culling after import
    

  • Compare and Survey views
