LR3 Lightroom - colour processing demo
Len continues his Lightroom tutorial series with a practical demonstration on how to process colour images.
In this session Kel donates a few photographs for Len to process in Lightroom. The three photographs that are processed all have different processing requirements.
PR10 Brief Lessons in Rule Breaking
Len discusses the concepts from the book ‘Brief Lessons in Rule Breaking’ by Frances Ambler from the TATE Gallery.
IN2 Chris Bell on Peter Dombrovskis
In his second pre-lockdown interview in Tasmania, Len chats to Chris Bell about his friend and fellow photographer Peter Dombrovskis. A beautiful insight.
LR2 Lightroom - workflow Walls of Jerusalem
Len shares his photos from a recent walking holiday with his son to the Walls of Jerusalem. By doing so he gives us a unique insight into part of his workflow. He will guide us through his initial review of his images and post processing in lightroom.
PR9 Art School Lessons
Len explains some of the important points Kit White makes in his book ‘101 Things to Learn in Art School’.
BP4 Acceptance
Len talks about letting go of so many things in this article he wrote for Better Photography Issue 77 Spring 2014
IN1 Interview with Chris Bell
Back in the days when we could travel to another state and visit people, Len went to Tasmania. There he interviewed committed conservationist and nature photographer Chris Bell.
CH5 Unexpected
This week the one word challenge is Unexpected.
None of us expected to be where we are now in the middle of a pandemic and having to stay at home. That hasn’t stopped us though! So this week, keep an eye out for the unexpected and post whatever it is that jumps out at you.
CH4 Joy
This week the one word challenge is Joy.
We all need a little bit of joy at the moment. The real challenge here is to task yourself to create something new this week. Consciously seek out something around you that gives you joy. If joyful things are in short supply then get creative and find something mundane to photograph instead and then mess with it so much it becomes a joyful mess. Or, take delight in the act of photography itself, feel the joy whilst photographing something and then post the result (even if others won’t immediately see ‘joy’).
Personal Photographic Projects
Thinking of a personal photographic project? Len has outlined how to make them work on an online community forum. He has included links to the recent webinar on the subject and will include more in this article so new comers can visit it for guidance.
PR8 Ten Adopted Rules of Thumb
In this video presentation, Len introduces us to Wendle Castle and how his ten rules of thumb can be applied to photography.

LR1 Lightroom - overview
Len uses Lightroom for much of his post processing and has a wealth of knowledge to share. In this video, Len gives us an overview of Lightroom so that those of you who are not so familiar with it can see what it is like and how Len has his set up.
This is that start of an ongoing series of Lightroom tutorials where Len will share different parts of his own workflow as well as how to use the various features.
BP3 - Photo Critiques
This article explores the gentle art of critiques. There are two great videos about foto feedback in Len’s Club too. This one was originally published in Better Photography Issue 76 in 2014. Six years later and I believe this more than ever. It is so powerful. This positive feedback is the backbone of the Len’s Club Community Forum. Please dive in and critique the photographs of the other members.
PR6 Inspiration and Influences - Steal Like an Artist
Len talks about inspiration and influences and where these may come from. In this video presentation he draws on the work of Austin Kleon who shares ten points to help artists live a more creative life in his book Steal Like an Artist.
