Tim Webb Workshops

This past weekend I was lucky enough to be able to attend the first (of hopefully many) Tim Webb Workshops.

For those of you that do not know, Tim Webb was the photographer at my wedding, and is one of the best photographers in the area. Late last year, Tim, with the help of colleague Chris Radcliffe, decided he wanted to start holding workshops for what he called the "Serious Amateur". He started out with a simple mission statement:

"Our mission is simple. We want to help others learn the craft of photography, in a way that is not intimidating, by breaking down technical barriers, through an ongoing, educational, photographic workshop."

The workshop was held at Natural Bridge. We started with a workshops on basics of photography, and then quickly moved into an in depth lighting workshop, focusing on the use of speed lights. We went to Red River Gorge for a great mock photoshoot, as well as some hiking around, and came back for workshops on gear and software, ending with a critique of our shots from the day.

Below are a few of my highlights of the workshop. Definitely worth going to if you're at all interested in photography. More information can be found at www.timwebbworkshops.com

Spring in Lexington

Finally, the cold has started to leave the bluegrass. The sun is out more, the temperatures have climbed into the 60s and 70s, and the trees and flowers are starting to bloom! Here are a few shots from the lovely scenes we have been privilege to.
