Presented by: Helene Blowers, Michael Porter, and Cindi Trainor, Friday, July 10, 2009, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., in Chicago
If you want to learn how to capture library events more effectively and artistically, don’t miss this hands-on workshop in Chicago this July. Learn the Who, What and Why of shooting, sharing and reusing your library photos, and see how to use widgets and other tools to tell stories and engage your users in your digital space. Learn techniques for shooting and editing better photos, camera settings that make for the best photos, and the basics of editing an image. Privacy policies and Creative Commons will also be covered. The hands-on portion of this workshop will involve using flickr, getting to know your camera, and using desktop and online image editing tools.
Participants should bring a camera and laptop. Be sure to bring your camera's cable or a card reader for downloading photos to your computer.
