LEARN
At Zeff Photo, we believe in the power of photography, and we encourage everyone to take photos of the important (and not-so-important) moments in their lives. But many of us need help. We all want to take better photos, but we need help understanding the new digital technology. We need help figuring out the many different buttons, settings and menus on our cameras. What lenses work best? How about flashes and lighting? And if we can learn how to print our photos, what do we do with them? Do we create photo albums? Scrapbooks? Calendars? Is our work good enough to display?
With so many questions, Zeff Photo recognized the need to create a resource center. That is why we launched Zeff U, the education initiative here at Zeff Photo. Through seminars, lecture series, workshops, demos and store events, we hope to provide learning opportunities to everyone, at all skill levels.
So whether you just bought your first digital camera, or you are a seasoned pro, you can still learn something new about photography. We are always adding classes, and registration is ongoing so keep checking back. We are sure you will find a class that's right for you!

Lightroom 2.0 (Part 3, "The Forum")
Instructor: BoB DiNatale
Course Level: Introductory / Intermediatae
For those students who have completed Part 1 (Introductory) and Part 2 (Intermediate) we are instituting the concept of an occasional "Forum" where students may discuss with the instructor, as well as with other students, various projects they have puzzled over or wish to delve into in more depth in order to achieve greater proficiency in all areas of Lightroom.
Subject matter for this first "Forum" will come from the comments and interests of recent students. Future topics in the "Forum" will evolve and build upon input from each Forum setting.
Of course, other interested parties who have a working knowledge of Lightroom are welcome to attend as well!
Teacher bio: Bob DiNatale is producer and consultant for corporate digital media programs. Bob also conducts workshops, lectures and private instruction in the area of digital photography. Beginning serious photography in 1965, Bob explored conventional darkroom techniques in both black & white and color. He presented his first digital media production in 1984 and continues to work at the leading edge of digital technology. As digital photography advances, Bob blends his knowledge of conventional photography with his extensive experience in the digital world. He is an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop Lightroom.
