Entries tagged with “photoshoot” from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Adventure

Mikkel's wonderful book titled, Photoshop Lightroom Adventure is nearing completion. What makes this effort so unique is that it combines an expert guide with gorgeous images from Iceland, all captured by the Iceland Adventure Team. It's coffee table meets workstation. Brains and beauty. As I was digging around for some tidbits for the project, I ran across a slideshow that we used as an introduction for our talks about the Adventure. I decided to re-master the video and publish it for Inside Lightroom readers.

San Francisco: Most of the team has packed up their gear and flown home safely from Iceland and the adventure. Many have already boarded planes and left for other destinations. John McDermott is off to Texas for a shoot. Richard Morgenstein --home for a day--then on a plane to shoot in LA. As I write John Isaac is enroute to Brazil. George Jardine is off to China. Addy Roff remains in Iceland, taking some well-deserved R & R with her family.

No sooner than the Adventure team congregated in Reykjavik, it was time to head north to Reykholt where we would break into smaller groups to cover more ground. My clan explored the local area including the quiet village Borgarnes. Others traveled much farther, often staying out the entire night to capture the last glow of sunset and the first rays of morning - which were only a few hours apart.

Enroute to Iceland: Sometimes there isn't a lesson; there is just a story. In this case, it's really a worry. I'm talking about the weather, and so was everyone else I met today as I left Norway for Iceland and the start of the Adobe Lightroom Iceland Adventure.

Ulefoss, Norway: Sometimes we learn lessons the hard way, all by ourselves. Other times we learn by watching others. As I pack my bags and get ready to fly and meet the rest of the Adobe Iceland Adventure team I'm obsessed with what to bring and what to leave behind. I remember something that happened years ago to my good friend Rudy Burger, then director of Media Lab Europe, when he was humbled by his boss, Nicholas Negroponte.

I've learned much in the past few weeks as I've talked to other Adventure photographers about preparing for this trip. I thought I'd pass along a few of these gems. If you plan to use your ATM card in Iceland, and most of Europe, be sure to change you pass code to 4 digits before you leave. Otherwise there's a good chance you won't be able to use it while abroad. I think this is important because ATM machines are one of the best ways to get fair exchange rates for currency while traveling.
