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...

Reykjavik, Iceland: Everyone has safely flown in from all around the globe and the adventure has officially started! Earlier this evening, before the opening presentation by the Icelandic photographer, Sigurgeir Sigurjónsson, and before our elaborate Icelandic dinner hosted by ExpoImaging, I had the honor or welcoming the group and this is what I said: I've been dreaming of this moment...

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. On the train to the Oslo airport strangers bemoaned the hottest summer...

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...

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...

Ulefoss, Norway: We take SO much for granted, until we leave home. Take communications, for example. Cell phones work, mostly. Internet connections are everywhere. Heck, in the U.S. you can even pick up an old-fashioned phone and dial anywhere in the world for song. On our Adobe Iceland Adventure, which begins in just three days, communication is critical, and if...

Ulefoss, Norway: In just a couple days, on July 28th, the Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop Iceland adventure officially begins. But I've already learned my first lesson and it cost me a pretty penny. Hopefully you'll learn from my mistake! I'm writing from Europe. I came out early, leaving San Francisco and flying here to Norway to the family house with my wife...

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...
