The meeting will occur on Wednesday May 13^th at 8pm and last for approx. 1hr
It is only available for members of the 16’s Photography Club
To participate, if you are not already registered you will need to register a Zoom account and download the Zoom client to your computer or device. This is very easy to do! If you would like simple instructions, let me know and I will email them to you.
If you would like to be involved in the workshop, you MUST email me so I can add you to the list of participants.
All participants will then receive an email with a link inviting them to join the workshop via their computer or device.

This is the first time we have trialled an online workshop so here is your chance to improve your Lightroom skills from the comfort of your home.
