Seminar # 4 Preparing Images for Publications:
Frustrated with images that look
flat and puzzled by all the technical jargon printed in those photography
guidelines? This seminar, by FLC members Michael DeFreitas and Ellen
Barone will help "writers who shoot" prepare images for publication
– print and web. You’ll learn simple software functions that will
put some pop back into flat images, how to crop and resize your images
and how to remove dust spots with the clone and/or healing brush tool.
The seminar will also explore the file formats (jpegs, tiffs and RAW)
used by various media, properly storing your images, and using the meta
data field to embed caption and copyright information with your images.
In this seminar, the group will be
divided into Mac and PC users. Those attending should have his/her own
laptop with Photoshop CS or higher or Elements 4 or higher.
This workshop is aimed at more advanced
photographers. (Participants will need to bring their laptops with Photoshop
CS3 & RAW 4.2 full or demos loaded).
9:45 a.m. - depart for photo shoots
around Milwaukee. You will be given a hit-the-ground-running assignment
to shoot a segment of the city’s bustling Saturday morning fabric.
10:00 - 12:30
Area professional photographers will
host groups of three-to-six registrants, offering suggestions on shooting
angles, subjects and technique. Subjects to be covered include
art/museums, Milwaukee River, Brady Street, Hispanic neighborhoods and
the lakefront. You are on your own for lunch, which will
be at several of Milwaukee’s iconic, inexpensive comfort food locales
found on your respective tour (Real Chili, George Web, El Rey and so
on). These local facilities will be alerted that you will be photographing
in their establishments. Your guides will deliver you back to
Johnston Hall in time for your critique session. You will then
have about 30 minutes to edit and organize your material before the
general session begins.
1-3 p.m. - photo showcase and critique
session (each registrant can show up to 10 images of their Milwaukee
scenes)
3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Keywording & Organizing Your Photos
Florida-based photographer Tim O'Keefe,
an instructor with the SATW Inastitute for Travel Writing and Photography
in Orlando, will discuss how to assign Captions and Keywords to your
photos. Often the most onerous task associated with any shoot, proper
keywording is crucial for locating and selling your images since many
photo buyers search by keywords before ever looking at images. Tim’s
presentation will include how programs like Adobe Lightroom automatically
organize photos and make global keywording possible.
