Hi Everyone,

This Tuesday is “You do me, I’ll do you”.
We will be photographing each other, taking photos! We will probably also have a go at some more advanced light trail stuff.
Normal place, normal time, bring your cameras, tripods, gear and wrap up warm!

Also, we are looking to build a small bank of model contacts to help out in the up and coming portraiture sessions. If any one knows of anyone that may be interested please give them the LUPS email address (lups.mail@gmail.com) and please urge them to get in contact.

See you on Tuesday!

Hey guys,

This tuesday we will be showing you all how to get the most from your photos with a quick photoshop tutorial.

To get the most from this tutorial you should bring your laptop loaded with a copy of photoshop (it doesn’t really matter which version), failing this a pen and paper to make notes will do.

You can download a free 30 day trial of photoshop CS3 from
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/index.html

note there are two versions, we will not be using any of the features from the extended version but you can still download it if you wish.

To download the free trial you must first register an adobe account, then log in with this account and follow the instructions to install photoshop.
The free trial will expire after 30 days but theres nothing stopping you uninstalling it then downloading it again… every 30 days…

The tutorial will cover several different aspects of photoshop from retouching photos to creating new composite photos, photoshoppers of all abilities will be catered for.

Hope to see you all tomorrow :)
