Join us for an evening presentation with a three part lecture with professionals using video in different ways.

He will present his work and experiences with the newest HD cameras from Canon for commercial assignments and public relations. We will next move to Ian McCluskey, Director of Portland based NW Documentary. He will talk about the success of his latest film, “Eloquent Nude” and show us how a successful film maker partners with other organizations to utilize video as a tool for education. Then Troy Wayrynen, Photo Editor of The Columbian newspaper in Vancouver, Washington will talk about recent developments in photojournalism and the current trend to add video content created by reporters and photographers to newspaper web sites.

This program targets the photographer who either owns or is considering stepping up to Canon's EOS 40D or EOS 5D camera. Photography basics form the foundation of this program, opening with discussions of exposure basics, the cameras' metering systems and options, and creative use of the ISO setting. Flash basics are discussed, for both the built-in flash as well as accessory speedlites. Explanations of using the cameras' Histogram display, the various Autofocus options, and the effect of different lens focal lengths round out the first module. Then, the "lens conversion factor" of the 40D camera, digital basics such as resolution, compression, and RAW vs JPEG imaging, are examined in detail. The final hour is devoted to looking at the cameras' Custom Functions, with a quick listing of commonly used ones and what they do. From there, the program switches to the computer - detailing what is possible in even the basic "digital darkroom", with an emphasis on easy printing techniques to any inkjet printer, using basic software included with Canon's cameras.
