There’s an app for that

January 25th, 2010

The “Good Locations by Nikonians” iPhone application enables you to take images of locations, to automatically tag them with their geographic location (GPS data), to rate and to share them with other photographers. A captured location can automatically be published to Nikonians, Facebook and Twitter.

Don’t Forget – Critique Session on 1/25/10

January 17th, 2010

Just a reminder to get those images in for the upcoming critique session.  If you’d like one of your images critiqued, please send it to the submission email address with the subject – Critique Session.

Details from this month’s Slide-O-Gram…….

WORKSHOP: “CRITIQUE / LEARNING SESSION”
Monday January 25, 2010 MODERATOR: Olive Weingart, APSA, HonNEC

Members have asked for more critiques so that they may learn what may be done to improve their images.  In an attempt to meet club members’ wishes, a critique workshop has been scheduled. Bring prints or slides with you; or have an electronic image sent to the competition mailbox. Due to time constraints, only one image per person will be “critiqued.” So, come and learn how to improve your images.

Every participant will get a chance during the evening to critique and share in understanding why a particular image received its high or low score.

Please come one and all (new and “old” members alike). It should prove to be an evening of getting acquainted, learning, and just good fun. Let’s make it an evening to remember by helping and sharing our favorite hobby with each other.
