We have about 1400 employees in our company... about 25 of us volunteered to be a part of a "photography" committee.
The 2,800 units that we manage up and down the Florida Panhandle (from Pensacola to Panama City) need to have their picture taken to go up on our website. They each will require between 8 and 12 pictures a piece! (You do the math...)
The company purchased (from our friends at BH Photo & Video) 5 Canon Rebel XTIs and 5 sets of lights and we had "class" today to learn how to use these digital SLRs.
We were split into 3 groups to have a managable size class. Luckily I was the only "professional" in my group. From what I hear there were 3 pros in the 1st class and they took the most time because there were "discussions" on different preferences like, which is better... RAW or JPEG? Since there will be so many new users on the camera taking images that will be displayed in both print and on our website, of course we are going to shoot in RAW. I explained to our marketing director that it would not be necessary to shoot RAW + L - since that would take up valuable space on the CF card... (I think I won! hehe)
So here are a few pictures from our class... It was fun to watch other people "get it"...
I can't wait until I can join an Mpix meetup... :::sigh:::: good people, they are!
Love!
