It’s Pimpy Thursday!

Hey everyone, Brad Moore here with the latest happenings in Kelby Land :)

Corey & Scott Get Down & Dirty
Join us for a free live webcast this Thursday, December 15th beginning at 4PM ET. You can register on KelbyTraining.com or you can just pop in on Thursday afternoon. Those who register will be entered into a drawing for prizes like Corey’s book, a one-year NAPP membership, a $25 gift certificate to The NAPP Gear store and more. Scott & Corey will be sitting down to talk about this book which is really unique in that it uses all kinds of nooks and crannys of Photoshop to make really cool designs. It sold out on Amazon within a week and people are raving about it. Also, if you buy the book at KelbyTraining.com in December, Corey will sign it for you AND you’ll get 3 free clearance DVDs (randomly selected) with your order! We hope to see you at the webcast on Thursday!

KelbyTraining.com
In Advertising Photography: From Pre- to Post-Production with Douglas Sonders, we take you on-location with Douglas as he shows you how he approaches an advertising shoot from beginning to end. He shows you all of the planning before the shoot, the shoot itself, and the post-processing/retouching process that results in the final image.

And in Composition: The Strongest Way of Seeing, Rick Sammon shares the secrets to composing technically and emotionally as he shares images from his worldwide travels.

Giveaways on The Grid
If you were watching the live broadcast of The Grid yesterday, you already know Scott and RC were giving stuff away left and right during our Holiday Gift Guide episode! But it’s not too late to win if you weren’t watching live… We’ve still got some stuff to give away for everyone else :) You can tune in over at KelbyTV.com as soon as Episode 36 is posted (should be sometime this afternoon) and leave a comment for your chance to win some amazing prizes!

Holiday Templates for Lightroom
Matt Kloskowski is doing special Lightroom holiday template tutorials each day this week over at LightroomKillerTips.com. Be sure to swing by each day to catch all five!

Photoshop World DC
It’s not too early to register for Photoshop World Washington DC. You can put it on your wish list, or give it to someone else as a gift! All of the hotel and travel info is up, plus the class schedule, and pre-conference workshops. And, if you’re going, you’ll definitely want to download the Photoshop World App to make your own custom schedule and get alerts for everything that’s going on.

Vincent Versace in American Photo
Kelby Training instructor Vincent Versace is featured in the current issue of American Photo Magazine! His work from his travels to Burma, where he photographed Aung San Suu Kyi and the people of Burma, is featured in an 8-page spread in the January/February 2012 issue. You can pick it up at a nearby magazine rack, and check out more of Vincent’s work at VersacePhotography.com

That’s it for this week! I’ll leave you with this quote as food for thought…

Before I became a picture editor, I assumed that ‘good photographers’ took ‘good pictures’ because they had a special eye. What I found was that good photographers take good pictures because they take great pains to have good subjects in front of their cameras.

  1. Awesome stuff today. I have one to add, Alan Hess has a new book coming out soon (already on iBooks) called Night and Low-light Photography Photo Workshop. If you look through this book you might also see a pick by yours truly! Make sure to check this one out.

  2. Good pimpiness today, Brad. Wish I had seen the Grid yesterday, but I was out Xmas shopping for others! Maybe I should have told THEM to watch it (for ideas for me)! :)

  3. The link to Rick Sammon’s class sent me to the Advertising class on Kelby training. Otherwise, some very interesting pimpin’ going on and will definitely tune into the Down and Dirty.

  4. Your Loengard quote at the end of the post reminds me of one from my favorite photographer-philosopher, Joe McNally, who said, more or less, “if you are taking boring pictures, stand in front of more interesting things.”
