-- August 24, 2010
Douglas Wade presented a workshop “Using WordPress to Create a Photography Website” to a group of 28.
Douglas has worked at Northrop Grumman for 23 years in publications. He started as an illustrator and is now a software engineer and “head geek” for Technical Publications. He blogs from time to time at middle-aged-man.com (where he learned WordPress) and keeps a journal of his walking and cycling.
On July 27th Glenn Olson conducted a workshop on framing which he titled "Framing 101." The presentation was intended to inform the audience of the issues they would run into when then started framing their photos and the many options they had available to them.
Terri Garner took time out from her busy schedule to present a workshop on digital scrapbooking. Now, many folks think of scrapbooking as something grandma used to do but digital scrapbooking is a generation ahead of the old cut-and-glue days. Today's software can help you make those adjustments to individual photos and place them on backgrounds, give them borders, add text, and decorate them up for printing at home or at your local printer. By combining many pages together you can create an entire book. In fact, the lines between scrapbooks, coffee-table books, photo albums, and record books have become so blurred that it's hard to tell one from the other.
Preparing Prints for the AV Fair
Workshop Sponsored by LPA
June 19, 2010
Once again, the LPA offered a free workshop “Preparing Prints for the AV Fair”, open to the public, and held at the AV Fair. The workshop was conducted by LPA President Dave Anderson, who is also the Photography Chairman for the AV Fair.
The High Dynamic Range workshop was conducted on May 25th, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at the Senior Center. The group was over 40 members and guests who were asked to bring their camera and we as a group went outside to take some photographs to be processed in the workshop. After a few images, we came back in and downloaded the images then began using Photomatrix to process our images. Ted went over each control of the software and gave some guidelines on the constraints on the values of the controls. Too much on one control can make an image look surreal or too little can leave a image flat and lifeless.
April 27, 2010 - This month's workshop was the first of many events that our new coordinator, Douglas Wade, presented to a group of approximately 37 people.
The topic offered benefits for the novice, as well as, to the master photographer.
