- A hands-on workshop on studio lighting -- bring your own digital camera
and a model to photograph.  Emphasis on internal and external strobe flashes
and how to bounce the light effectively and avoiding "that flash look."

- A talk on general photographic/camera theory -- aperture/f-stop,
depth-of-field, shutter speeds, backdrops, custom white balance, etc.  I.e.,
what do all those funny words mean and why should I care to learn what they
mean?

- A talk on color correction, image sharpening, and other digital
manipulation using Photoshop.  (Would require a video-out and a projection
screen.)

All of these is something the community needs!

Perhaps a freeware image editor could also be demonstrated to help people crop
their images to size etc..

As one who can't make it this year, or any next five years due to
budget/distance, I would also like an OnLine version of those topics
afterwards. Sure, I have learnt a thing or two but more is better.

Does any of this sound interesting to folks?  I'd be happy to share
everything I've learned about photography in the past year.

Now thats a resource that people should make sure to use!

What about a LEGO art exhibit?  My printer can make 13"x19" prints, so I was
thinking it would be fun to make a collection of prints, and if it's OK to
hang them on the wall, do that.  I think it would be a really fun way to
show detailed photos of Henry Lim's harpsichord (and stegosaurus!), Matt
Chiles's working LEGO rollercoaster, Steve Barile's LEGO train wall of
coolness, and other things that would never be able to travel to BrickFest.

Perhaps people that can't attend could send images of their MOC's to someone
and have them printed and thus displayed. Or perhaps a computer that randomly
shows MOC's to cut down cost?

I've been thinking a lot over the past couple months whether I should give a talk on LEGO photography. Is there something like this already planned? I could see doing as many as four talks: - A hands-on workshop on studio lighting -- bring your own (...) (22 years ago, 24-Apr-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.publish.photography)
