Online Workshops on Lightroom Classic

During the month of April I’ll be teaching two online workshops focused on Adobe Lightroom Classic.

These workshops will feature an online “virtual classroom”, with live sessions during which you can get your questions answered. One online workshop will focus on organizing photos in Lightroom Classic, and the other will focus on optimizing photos in Lightroom Classic.

Each of the online workshops will include four sessions of about two hours each, for a total of about sixteen hours of live learning to help you make the most of Adobe Lightroom Classic.

You can save by registering for both workshops, or choose to register for just one of the two. You can follow the link below to get information about the bundle of two workshops, but you’ll also find links to the individual online workshops at the bottom of the page if you only want to focus on one of the two subjects.

18 Years of “Ask Tim Grey”!

Today marks 18 years since I sent out the first Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter, though it went by the name “Digital Darkroom Questions” way back then.

Since that first email, I’ve been answering questions from photographers for 18 years now, which works out to a total of 4,058 editions of the newsletter, including today’s anniversary edition.

To celebrate this milestone, we’ve added a significant bonus to my “Lightroom Cleanup One-on-One” bundle. If you order this bundle today, in addition to the great content and support that is already included, you’ll also receive a one-hour call directly with me. During that call you can share your screen so I can evaluate your workflow and help you restore order to your Lightroom Classic catalog.

You can get all the details by visiting the GreyLearning website here:

And thank you for being an Ask Tim Grey reader!

New York City Photo Workshop in 2020

New York City has been my home for almost nine years now, and during that time I’ve gotten to know the city quite well. I’ve found that each neighborhood offers something a little different, and around every corner there are photographic possibilities.

If you would enjoy photographing the iconic scenes and hidden corners of New York City, then I invite you to join me for an all-inclusive five-day photo workshop experience in the “City that Never Sleeps”. We’ll photograph impressive skylines, interesting architecture, fascinating street scenes, and unique people.

New Course: “Real-World Organizational Workflow”

I recently made some changes to my organizational workflow that revolves around Adobe Lightroom Classic, focused on helping ensure I always review every photo after a trip or outing. As a result, I’ve produced a completely updated video course that outlines my overall workflow.

In “Real-World Organizational Workflow” you’ll be able to take a virtual look over my shoulder as I go step-by-step through my workflow. You may decide you want to use the same workflow, or you may want to make some changes that suit your specific needs. Either way, this course will help you streamline and optimize your workflow for managing photos in Lightroom Classic.

Palouse Photo Workshops in 2020

I have been visiting the remarkable landscape and homesteads of the Palouse region of eastern Washington State for more than a decade now, typically spending three or four weeks in the area each spring. In all that time, I am still excited about the wonderful photographic opportunities and local experiences this area provides.

I am therefore very happy to announce that I will once again be leading two all-inclusive field photography workshops in the Palouse region in 2020. Registration is now open, so if you’d like to join me you’ll want to act quickly. All of the details of this unique field photography workshop can be found on my website here:

Planning Great Sun or Moon Photos

A little bit of planning can help you create better photographic images, and that is especially true when you want to employ the sun or moon in your photography. I’m pleased to announce a new course in the GreyLearning library that will help you plan great photos incorporating the sun and the moon, using a tool called The Photographer’s Ephemeris.

The Photographer’s Ephemeris is an app available through a web browser or mobile device, which enables you to plan photos based on the position of the sun and moon. Whether you want to include the sun or moon in a photograph, or you simply need to know the direction or availability of sunlight, The Photographer’s Ephemeris can help. And my new course will help you make the most of this helpful tool in your photography.

The lessons in my new course will guide you through the use of The Photographer’s Ephemeris, along with additional tools. Along the way you’ll learn how to plan photos based on the timing and position of the sun and moon.

Even better, you can use coupon code “moonlaunch” to get $5 off the course during our launch special. For more details (and to have the discount included automatically) follow this link to the GreyLearning Website:

Get a Sales Tax Refund from B&H Photo

As you may be aware, a decision last year by the U.S. Supreme Court requires companies to collect state sales tax for online sales based on the state the customer resides in. But B&H Photo now has a way for you to get a credit for those online purchases: The new Payboo Card from B&H Photo.

You will receive a credit in the amount of your state sales tax on all orders through B&H Photo when you pay with the Payboo Card.

With the Payboo Card you can get an immediate credit in the amount of the sales tax when you make a purchase from B&H Photo. That means you are still technically paying the tax as legally required, but that B&H Photo will essentially refund that sales tax as a credit on your Payboo Card account. It is a clever workaround that means you can save on every order.

Even better, the sales tax credit can be earned for in-store purchases in addition to online sales.

You can get more details about the new Payboo Card from B&H Photo here:

The “Photography Bundle” currently includes ten courses related to photography.
