Welcome to my technology blog!
Good morning! If you’re a Lightroom user and you’re also an iPhone user then you’ve got a brand new update for Lightroom for Mobile on iPhone.
Today’s update brings in a brand new capture experience (Lightroom camera) that has a “Professional” mode allowing you to set the ISO, exposure, shutter speed, WB and more.

I know lots of photographers and except for a few, they are all trying to figure out more ways of making money from their craft. Cameras and smartphone cameras keep getting better and better and therefore the market has become more crowded. Skill will usually win in the end, but the jobs are becoming fewer and fewer in between. One source of revenue you might consider is selling your images via Adobe Stock. This is NOT a “Get rich quick” scheme. As with most things in life you will only get out of it what you put into it. With that said, Adobe Stock can provide a way of making additional money from the images you’ve already taken or the ones you could take while out on assignment.

Many of you know that I started my Adobe 20th Anniversary sabbatical on August 1st and if you would have asked me on August 1st did I have any big trips planned I would have said no. This was going to be more of a staycation. However, I got the chance to go to Iceland at the last minute. It was AMAZING! There’s just no way that I can do this story justice by posting the images and text here, so I decided to the next best thing and that is to tell my story with Adobe Spark Page which you can view below (just click and start scrolling):
I would say that this was a once in a lifetime trip, but I won’t because I have a feeling that I’ll go back and shoot some more. Iceland is amazing. If you get the chance to go there, take it! Special shoutout to Scott Kelby, Einar Eriendsson and Ragnar Og Ásdís for making this the perfect trip. I hope to do a workshop soon in Iceland with Einar.
This was a photographic trip, so the gear was important. I didn’t really call it out in the Spark Page above, so I’ll do so here as an added bonus to my blog readers:
I did a LOT on the go with Adobe Mobile Apps, you should definitely check out this new book to see what’s possible:
DJI Phantom 2 Vision + Quadcopter (drone) I have the older model, go for the Phantom 4.
Gitzo Traveler Carbon Fiber Tripod
Anker Powercore 20100
Arkon TW Broadcaster Pro
iPad Pro 12.9″ w/ Apple Pencil
Thinktank Streetwalker Backpack
I couldn’t have done this without Adobe Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC
Join me tomorrow, Friday, March 18, 2016 at 10AM EDT for a LIVE session: “Lightroom Mobile from Scratch.” If you’ve been wanting to take your photography to the next level by making sure that your images are easily accessible on your mobile devices and the web, then I’ve got something for you:
Last week the update to Adobe Muse CC included the long awaited feature that allows you to do Responsive Web Design. I dedicated my last episode of my show “Terry White Live – The Lightroom and Photoshop CC Show” to show this feature in-depth.

No matter how much you try to prepare yourself for the death of a loved one, you’re never truly prepared for it. This past weekend my 86 year old father passed away. He lived a long and good life and of course I never thought that he would live forever. I knew that one day I would get “that call.” That call came Friday evening from my sister…

I couldn’t imagine life without Lightroom CC. It’s the one Application that I have open all day long 7 days a week. In this episode of Adobe Creative Cloud TV I do a remake of my How to Get Started with Lightroom 5 – 10 Things Beginners Want to Know How To Do and create a brand NEW video affectionately called How to Get Started with Lightroom CC – 10 Things Beginners Want to Know How To Do…

On Friday morning I did a two hour LIVE session on Creating a Behind the Scenes Video for Photographers using Adobe Premiere Pro CC. If you would like to take your story telling to the next level then you really need to embrace video. Your camera and smartphone already shoot video, so why not take advantage of it?

Yesterday I was LIVE on the NEW twitch.tv/adobe channel. I had a 3 hour slot which gave me plenty of time to not only do a LIVE photo shoot with a model, but also to show most of my photography workflow in Adobe Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC.
You can see the replay here:

When I read my buddy Scott Kelby’s post yesterday on “7 Reasons Why Photographers Need to Be on Instagram” I was reminded why I like this platform so much. I’ve been active on Instagram since January 2012. At first I looked at it as “oh boy, one more thing to have to post to.” That was before I realized that I could use Instagram as my starting point any time I want to share a photo. Unlike most other sites, Instagram allows me to simultaneously share to my Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare (check-ins), Email and Flickr. If for no other reason I’d use Instagram for this feature alone. However, Instagram actually became the social media site that I visit the most. For some reason (maybe it’s because I’m a visual person), I’m way more likely to scroll my Instagram feed to see all the posts from the people that I follow than I am on Facebook and Twitter. Even when I don’t post, I will still scroll through my Instagram feed checking out posts of others all the way down until I get to the post I saw last. To make the sharing experience even better to Twitter and my Facebook Fan Page, I created an IFTTT script that if I tag my Instagram post with #f it will post it directly to my Facebook Fan Page (as opposed to my personal Facebook page) and #t to post it as a NATIVE Twitter pic instead of just a link to the Instagram post.
Instagram is no longer just for squares. Probably one of the biggest reasons for photographers to rejoice and start using Instagram more is that Instagram now supports landscape and portrait images/videos directly in the Instagram app. I no longer have to use the Squaready Pro app to get the full image into a square format.
They each have a unique style and often post pics that make me pause when I’m scrolling my feed:
Here’s the recap of the people to follow above with links: @dr_brown, @felix_ireland, @glyndewis, @gregsimages, @michielbuijse, @rich_hart_photography, @scottkelby, @squidgallery @victoriapavlov @whyiloveatl
And since you’re in such a good mood to follow people, be sure to follow me too @TerryLeeWhite on Instagram! Thanks in advance.
