Participants are encouraged to bring their laptops and RAW files of their own images to work on. Computers will not be provided. Those without laptops are welcome and will certainly get plenty out of this workshop without one. Although we won’t have designated shooting time, participants may want to bring cameras and test various exposure concepts after class.
About the instructor
Scott Martin is a fine art photographer and digital photography consultant. As the founder of Onsight, he has been working with digital photography since the 1980s and has been training photographers one-on-one and leading photography workshops since the early 90s. With full-time devotion to on-location consulting for over a decade, his experience with a wide variety of imaging equipment, printers, papers, inks and applications allows him to consult with some of the most demanding photographers, pro labs, artists, designers and prepress professionals in the business. His classes are packed with enthusiasm and practical, real world suggestions. Scott used to sit on the edge of his seat waiting for each Photoshop upgrade but now does so with Lightroom.
Target audience
Professional photographers and serious amateurs. A good working knowledge of computers and photography is required. Beginners are encouraged to take the 1 day workshop offered in February instead of this 3 day version.

Future Workshops
We are really excited to announce that, in 2009, Onsight will be offering workshops every month. If you can’t attend this this workshop in January, we plan on repeating it every month for a while. Starting in February we will also offer a condensed, 1-day version of this workshop that we expect to be popular. Week-long photography workshops in the field are also being planned.
Onsight does not believe in accepting sponsorship. Because of this you won’t see any shameless product announcements and are able to openly discuss how Lightroom compares with it’s competitors. We feel having a knowledgeable and unbiased perspective allows us to better serve the interests of workshop participants, and hope you’ll agree.
Awesome blog! Loving it! :)
