Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop Adventure 2006

Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop Adventure 2006

adventure team

During the summer of 2006, a group of ambitious photographers traveled to the pristine Icelandic landscape to capture its beauty. They applied their craft during 22-hour long days bathed in horizontal light.

Since each member of the team had to work around the clock, the processing equipment of choice were laptops running Lightroom, Adobe's new photo management software. Using Lightroom, photographers uploaded, sorted, keyworded, adjusted, and output their Raw images while still working in the field.

On this page, you can read the stories, see the images, and listen to the photographers discuss this challenging assignment. Blog posts are updated regularly.


Web Galleries

The images from the following galleries were captured during the Lightroom Adventure. They represent the work of more than a dozen photographers. Gallery pages were generated with beta versions of the Web module in Lightroom.

Mikkel's wonderful book titled, Photoshop Lightroom Adventure is nearing completion. What makes this effort so unique is that it combines an expert guide with gorgeous images from Iceland, all captured by the Iceland Adventure Team. It's coffee table meets workstation. Brains and beauty. As I was digging around for some tidbits for the project, I ran across a slideshow that we used as an introduction for our talks about the Adventure. I decided to re-master the video and publish it for Inside Lightroom readers.

If you've been following the Adobe Lightroom Adventure to Iceland, you know that we've published a dozen galleries from members of the team.

On the first Saturday in Iceland I joined the group as they migrated north to Reykholt. This wasn't the easiest of decisions because I had a wedding waiting for me in the other direction, south of Reykjavik. But getting me back and forth would have proven difficult. I was disappointed, but figured something else would materialize.
