This Friday, Saturday and Sunday the 23rd Annual Thunder On The Lot returns to the Antelope Valley.
Thunder on the Lot in partnership with the City of Lancaster kicks off this Friday with the Cruise-In on Lancaster Blvd on Friday, June 9th at 6:00pm.
The Main Event takes place this Saturday, June 10th and Sunday June 11th at the Sgt. Steve Owen Memorial Park (Formerly Lancaster City Park) on the corner of 10th St West and K-8.
A lot goes into making a great portrait. It starts with perfect light and properly capturing the image, but that is only the beginning. A great image does not exist until it goes through post-production, including selection, color management, adjustments and retouching and of course, publication (digital or in print). You need to execute every task correctly to be successful. Get your workflow down from capture to print with photography lighting and workflow guru Jared Platt. Learn Jared’s workflow as you watch him in action from lighting to capture, to file and color management, through retouching, sharing and printing in a two-hour complete portrait workflow seminar.

Back when it was operating, the tiny engine and its sisters were transported through Mojave and the Antelope Valley to SP’s Taylor Yard in Los Angeles on flat cars for service.
At one time it was possible to ride trains from Los Angeles to Nevada via the standard gauge SP line to Lone Pine and the narrow gauge Carson and Colorado over Mount Montgomery Pass.

This summer, get back to living
For many, the idea of a summer break is a distant memory. Something that was enjoyed back in the school days. Back before jobs, kids, bills, and a million other things stepped in the way. But isn’t it crazy that actually living life has taken a backseat to just getting through life? We think so.
With that thought in mind, we have made some changes to our beloved Summer Intensive course that will make it easier for you to get back to spending summers how you used to … by enjoying them.
Here is some helpful information about Summer Intensive 2017 that we think will get you excited about the year ahead.
