Among my many eye-opening experiences in Iceland, I had a revelation about printing while participating in the reception at the Reykjavik Apple Store that final Friday. Instead of mounting our stacks of 13" x 19" prints and properly hanging them on the wall, we used removable Scotch tape and placed them haphazardly on the giant glass windows that illuminated...

Web Gallery 3 represents a deeper exploration of Iceland, and of Lightroom. These 14 photographers scoured the countryside for compelling images, then processed the pictures using the Develop module in Lightroom. General discussion around the editing table is the the Develop and Print modules are the stars of the application at this point. Most of the photographers were able...

This gallery features the work of Michael Reichmann, John Isaac, Martin Sundberg, Bill Atkinson, Maggie Hallahan and more. Some of these shots just came down from the mountain, literally. Michael and Bill have traveled all across the western countryside looking for their compositions. I finally caught up with them this morning and managed to get a nice collection of...

This first Adventure Web Gallery represents the perspectives of nine photographers who are immersed in the culture and landscape of the Reykholt area of Iceland. Some of the artists have focused on the expansive landscape, while others examine the intimate details of the countryside. Each photographer begins the process by capturing Raw image data, then organizing and editing the...

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...

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...

The other day I found myself hanging out the passenger window with Canon Rebel XT in hand as we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. So I did what any red-blooded photographer would do... I put the camera in burst mode and started shooting. By the time I reached the other end, I had 90 frames recorded. Now what? I...

Adobe announced the public beta of Adobe Lightroom software for the Windows platform, a digital imaging workflow solution for professional photographers. Now available for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms, all professional photographers can import, select, develop and showcase large volumes of digital images. Windows-based photographers now have the opportunity to assist with the development of Lightroom by testing...

During the summer of 2006, a group of ambitious photographers travel to the pristine Icelandic landscape to capture its beauty and culture. They apply their craft during 22 hour-long days bathed in horizontal light. Since each member of the team must work around the clock, the processing equipment of choice are laptops running Lightroom, Adobe's new photo management software. With Lightroom, photographers can upload, sort, keyword, adjust, and output their Raw images while still working in the field.

Here's a quick overview of who is going, where they will be, and the reports from Iceland that will be coming your way. You can join us on this Adventure from the comfort of your computer at home...

Lightroom can process files from hundreds of digital cameras. This is a real plus for photographers who enjoy using older models as well as the latest and greatest. For example, I just posted an article on Raw Photography with Older Cameras where I waxed happily about how I still enjoy shooting with my black Canon PowerShot G2. It supports...
