Digital Photography in a Day....literally!

Took a day out from my 9-5 job on Friday to attend a training day in London, hosted by John Clements, professional photographer and Technical Editor of Digital Photo Pro magazine.

Titled 'Digital Photography in a Day', the course was in conjunction with Colour Confidence and generally covered the basic aspects of digital capture and workflow, from getting exposures right 'in camera', colour profiling, RAW post-processing and monitor calibration.

I already knew the majority of the course, but it was great to hear John's very interesting and informative take on it all, helping to refresh my memory of things I now take for granted, as well as pick up new bits of information and understanding.

To then literally back up the 'Digital Photography in a Day' title, I then rushed back home from London to gather my studio lights and backdrop to cover a wedding reception event just outside Milton Keynes, making my day fully photography based.

Didn't think I was going to make it at one point though, as on attempting to enter the London Underground at Euston Station, I realised I had lost my train ticket, so had to rush back upstairs to purchase a new underground ticket, and luckily my credit card receipt for my original ticket was enough to get me on my train at London Marylebone, meaning that I got home on time and was able to get to the wedding reception in time to set up.
