Our next meeting will be held on
Wed. January 4 2012 at 7pm.
We will be meeting at the Squamish Arts Council building on Cleveland
Ave.
Agenda:
1. Jim Hegan presents
Sports Photography
I can’t think of a sporting event
in Squamish / Whistler / Callaghan that Jim has not photographed - from Test of
Metal through the Loggers Sports Show, ski jumping through wind sports.
Recently Jim was an accredited photographer at the Whistler Sliding Centre and
had some unique experiences both preparing for a sport he had not photographed
before and dealing with press photographers that were there to work.
Jim’s photos are always spectacular and he is a great resource for your
questions on sport photography.
2. PhotoStory3 software
In preparation for our February
meeting (details immediately below) I am going to be doing a short refresher on
PhotoStory 3 software. This is FREE software that you can download from
Microsoft and it allows you to prepare slideshows of your photographs complete
with music track, special effects and titles. There are lots of slideshow
tools available but if you have never used one then PhotoStory is a great place
to start because it walks you through the process step by step.
At the February meeting we are inviting club members to
prepare and show off their best slide show. The slide show can be up to 5
minutes long and on any topic you choose. We encourage you to include
music but it is not a requirement.
On the February meeting night we will be viewing all of the
slide shows that are submitted.
