Photographers using either digital or film cameras are welcome to participate, but film processing will not be provided and only digital files can be critiqued during the workshop.

Join the Cuyahoga Valley Photographic Society for an informative and interactive Adobe Lightroom workshop with nationally recognized photographer and digital educator, Tim Cooper. This workshop is for participants who are fairly new to Lightroom or those who want to take their post-processing skills to the next level.  The workshop will cover the Lightroom workflow, including in-depth use of the Library and Develop modules, how to manage keywords, create useful collections, interface with Photoshop and plug-ins, use pre-sets to maximize your time behind the camera and create dramatic and meaningful photographs that reflect your vision. Special emphasis will be placed on developing efficient work habits. With Tim as your instructor, the weekend is guaranteed to be information-packed—and fun at the same time!

For additional topics covered in the workshop, please view the flyer. Participants must bring their own laptop with Lightroom already installed and ready to use. The workshop is classroom-based and meets Friday thru Sunday, 9:00am - 6:00pm at Courtyard by Marriott-Stow. Workshop Fee:  $395 CVPS member/ $460 non-member (non-member fee includes annual member dues). Fee does not include lodging, meals or transportation. Workshop limited to 18 participants.

Announcing the Fall 2019 Road trip to the Canaan Valley, WV

The CVPS Sterring Committee is pleased to offer a road trip to beautiful Canaan Valley, West Virginia October 3-6, 2019. Members of the Steering Committee (Dave Longfellow, Bruce Winges, and Bill Rich) will be leading a road trip to the Canaan Valley, known for its vivid fall color, waterfalls, sheer rock cliffs, bogs, quaint towns and scenic views. It is only six hours by car from northeast Ohio and is well worth the trip.

The road trip will focus on photographing the unique places in the Canaan Valley sich as Dolly Sods, Blackwater Falls, Seneca Rocks and Spruce Knob. To maximize our time in the field, there will be no lectures or critiques during the trip. The group will get together following the teip to share images. See the flyer here for more information.

It has been 5 years since CVPS made this trip and we are lookingforward to going back. Click the links below to see the galleries of our past trips.
