Well, I went to Scott Kelby’s Lightroom Seminar tour last week and it was great. If you are interested in learning Lightroom you should attend this seminar. Like I said, Scott Kelby is the instructor. He presents the information in a clear, easy to learn point of view. He actually does a live photo shoot then goes into Lightroom and shows you the workflow he uses in Lightroom. You don’t have to bring a computer to attend this seminar, in fact it’s not recommended that you do bring a computer. The course is that easy! Scott also provides each student with a workbook based on the subjects from the day’s seminar. This workbook includes EVERYTHING you will be taught including the tips from the day. So, this means you don’t have to spend time taking notes and hoping you got all the information. It’s already prepared for you. All you have to do is sit back, watch, listen and enjoy.
As an instructor, Scott Kelby is entertaining as well as knowledgeable. He uses his breaks to answer questions from the audience. He gives you an equipment list of everything that he uses during the shoot, and NO he doesn’t get a commission for any of the equipment. I’ve enjoyed seminar’s instructed by Scott in the past and I have to say he only gets better as time goes on. His enthusiasm for Lightroom is contagious and one can’t wait to get back to the studio and start working. When you combine this one day seminar with Scott Kelby’s Lightroom book you will be a professional Lightroom user before you know it.
So the team over at NAPP are scheduling new dates for the Lightroom Seminar so keep your eyes on this website for new dates and times, Photoshop Seminars.

Album Print, Bind, & Supply Company Resource Guide. (Also see) Part1 – PPS #32 Album Design Software
Here’s the notes from the show on all the Print, Bind, & Design companies we talked about. Go to their sites and see all the trends and traditions to see what suites youe style best.
Asuka Book is a popular coffee table style album, and you can also find similar albums from WHCC, Digi Labs, & Illumina books from Apollo, as well as one I forgot to mention, Millers Press.
Some popular flush mount storybook albums include that have lots of options include PictoBooks, Zookbinders, and Some neat styles from Laguna Albums who also offers design services.
More simple flush mount storybooks albums include Black Tie albums from H&H, and the new kid on the block, Kiss Wedding Books who also has some great simple style.
Graphi Studios offer some really large sizes, and even metallic pages in their unique storyboard type designs, but you’ll have to pay for the elegance.
Some options in the more traditional covers, and mat pages include Art Leather, and Wooden Nickel who have many styles available and can send you printed information. Also check out Leather Craftsman which offer some beautiful covers, though a bit more high end. Note that these companies also have flush mount styles as well. Also check out JLee albums. They are basic, but handcrafted and a reasonable price
As for smaller albums, and proof albums you might check out Rice Studio Supply, for their peel and stick wallet albums, and their Quick Stick Album Also the Together Book will take your 4×6 prints, and put a hardbound cover on them
Some more consumer oriented choices of coffe table books that are less expensive, but not usually as feature rich include MyPublisher, Photoworks.com, & Printmyphotobook.com.
Have fun looking at all the options. Here’s a few sample images…
ZookBinders
Graphi Studios
Asuka Books
Other Show Notes…
Mike emailed asked about software to make DVD slideshows, and I recommended iphoto, and idvd for the Mac, and Pro Show Gold for the PC. Show it web was also mentioned, but for online slideshows. They do offer a DVD making service from the show it slideshows, but it’s not cheap.

The facts are not yet in, but with D3 rumors floating in the winds, it seems that Engadget recently got some information from an newspaper editor, who got his information from an unspecified source, that Nikon is preparing a camera that will put Canon to Shame.
Now us Canon fans don’t expect Canon to be blown away anytime soon, but we’ll let you be the judge for now, and if this thing really comes out, then we’ll all know. Hopefully more details will emerge later this month so stay tuned. Click here for the engadget post
Will Nikon kick Canon? Will Canon shoot back? Will other Dslr’s take over the market? … The Saga continues
