In 2009, Charles Cramer started a new workshop series at www.pictureelement.com in Santa Clara, California, a wonderful facility. The maximum class size is eight. The workshops went well, and all sessions were filled.
The new 2010 schedule is now available. All workshops run Friday 9AM through Sunday 5PM:
Creating a Multi-Camera Video Presentation
Robert Mitchell
Beginning with the January 2010 meeting of DISIG, we have combined the former Multimedia SIG into the Digital Imaging SIG. This means that we will be covering topics of both video and audio production and editing along with still image photography, Photoshop and graphics.
Most of us love looking at photos of wild animals, but few of us can afford the expense of a safari to the places where they live in order to take the pictures ourselves. But there is another option available to us. Our local zoo. On June 19, 2009 Bogen Imaging presented a webinar with Julie Larsen Maher, the head photographer for the Wildlife Conservation Society which oversees the major zoos in New York City. This webinar, which might be titled "Safari on a Budget" was replayed at the July DISIG meeting. For those who were unable to see it, I have compiled a list of the many tips and tricks which Julie described along with a few of her superb photos. If you want to see the entire one hour webinar, you can visit the Bogen Café site.
As the ability to manipulate digital image media becomes more common, our understanding of technological, ethical and legal implications is lagging. At the General Meeting in April, Prof. Hany Farid of Dartmouth College discussed some of these issues and described computational techniques which have been developed for detecting such tampering. Operating in the absence of digital watermarks or signatures, these techniques quantify and detect statisical, optical and geometric correlations that result from specific forms of digital tampering.
