October Meeting of Digital Photo SIG: Flickr University

How would you like to study photography at university that features teachers and students from all over the world, in your free time, at no cost to you? The online photosharing site Flickr.com offers these benefits. It occurred to me that through my participation in Flickr, I've gotten my questions answered, met talented photographers, and learned about cool techniques like bokeh, high dynamic range photography, and the Orton effect.

At the October meeting of the Digital Photography Special Interest Group, the topic will be Flickr University: Using Flickr to Improve Your Photography. You will learn how to use Flickr to:
  • Take better pictures with your camera
  • Get answers to your photographic questions
  • Do special effects like the Orton Effect (I will demonstrate how to create this effect using Adobe Photoshop Elements)
