AUGUST 19, 2025 - 6:00 P.M. - LIGHTROOM WITH DAN HOLMES
Lightroom - What is it, what does it do, and why should I use it?
There are a lot of tools out there - Apple Photos, Adobe Bridge, Microsoft Windows Viewer, ACDC, PhotoMechanic, OnOne, and more - but in my book, Adobe Lightroom offers the most bang for the buck.
In this presentation, we will introduce you to the workings of Lightroom and show how you can use this program to put some fun into managing and working with all those photos!
Join us on August 19, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. at the Antelope Valley Senior Center to have Dan Holmes teach us the ins and outs of Lightroom.

A few words from Dan:
“My images are reflections of those moments in time when light, form, and color fit. There is beauty in all aspects of life: landscapes, portraits, action, wildlife, and pure abstracts. There is a magical instant when those elements come together in the viewfinder, the shutter clicks, and the moment is captured.”
“I have realized that I am a “Discovery” shooter. There is so much to explore and to see that I am constantly on the move. I find that I don’t spend a lot of time in the iconic spots. I’ll walk down stream, over the hill, or back behind the trees. I will drive up a jeep road at night, not completely sure where I am, pick a spot to sleep, and wake to whatever surprises me at first light. I can find myself in an uninspiring pine hollow – or on a mesa overlooking a fantastic series of canyons and cliffs – it is all good.”
