Toronto Photography Meetup Group

What: TPMG Member Slideshow / Presentation
When: Wednesday January 11th 2012
Time: 7:00PM
Where: CAMH, 250 College Street Site - Stokes Auditorium (on the main floor)

We haven't held a slideshow night for quite sometime, and with the new registration system - I am doing this all within one post. So there is an option to indicate that you are just attending, and for those presenting.

What constitutes presenting? Well... its really quite simple - you don't have to do anything too complicated at all. I ask that you pick 10 of your favourite images from 2011 to present. Perhaps they could be your favourite shot of 2011, a happy accident, or all of the images could have a cohesive theme to them. And nothing says that you can't present more images - but please try to limit your presentatoin time to 10 minutes, so that we can see everyone's photos.

We will start the presentation at 7pm, and ideally would like to wrap up no later than 9pm, but if we get out earlier - then that'd good. We can perhaps head across the street to a pub afterwards? Or not.

For those presenting .. I will be asking you to forward your images so that I can put them into a keynote presentation. So if you can resize your images as 1280 pixels on the long side, and make sure that they are Jpeg SRGB files, and send them to me: lxdesign@rogers.com Ideally no later than Monday January 9th.

I signed up as attending, but haven't yet decided about presenting. I'll have to see if I can come up with 10 images worth presenting from 2011. I will have a look through my photos over the coming weekend and try to make a decision.

I will mull this one over, as I have done very little shooting in 2011. Just some photos from my San Fran trip and my trip to Yellowstone... I haven't even looked at those photos yet!

Sounds like incentive to me, Sue!

Just come out for the show. Maybe it will inspire you to shoot more in 2012!

DG

this looks like an interesting event!

Is it a problem if the longest side is 1024 instead of 1280?

Thats fine

i would like to present a multimedia presentation - paparazzo: an inside look

Will there be streamers?

if you want to bring streamers and heckle, give it your best shot.

I hope the audience is more then just presenters plus a few.

Hi,
I'm fairly new to TPMG and haven't attended a slideshow before - so I must apologize for my question. What exactly constitutes as presenting in a slideshow? Is it just giving our best pictures or is there more to it?

the venue is an auditorium, computer, projector and large screen.
David loads all TPMG'ers submitted photos onto his computer and sequences into presentation.
I present my photos while standing at front and any talking points I feel of interest or can manage to mumble out.
Then you repeat.
etc.

Present what you want, your best, a theme you've been working on.... You're amongst friends, in an awesome location, and it's free.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: it's tpmg's best event ever.

There's no way that I will have images ready to present by that date, so I'll be a part of the audience!

If we're only going to have 16 people in attendance, I may switch this to a smaller room in a different venue. Will make the call by end of week.

Is it okay to bring a slideshow (music/photos exported from iPhoto) in a .m4v format on a usb stick and play that instead? Or is the purpose to be able to present and personally talk about your photos as they're being shown? Either way is good for, it's just that I learned how to export slideshows from iPhoto today so that's my thing that I do now, you know?

Anyways, I've added myself to attend and present at this event. I haven't been to a TPMG event since the Vancouver Olympics Hockey Finals.

I might be able to present if I am able to get my CS5 works. I'm stuck on working with HDR.

I have photos of Cambodia, the famous ANGKOR WAT!!! Photo of China and lots of night photos of Hong Kong.

I've taken thousands of photos during my 3 weeks vacation this summer and I have trouble to choose only 10.

I think you could get at least 20 photos in 10 minutes, it depends how long the story is

I can put them in a slideshow with music.

Do I see a dance number?

If you want to do a slideshow with music... Yes its ok.

It better be Lil' Wayne or I'm throwing my 7-Eleven Slurpee at the screen and storming out.

Just make it rain.

That is Fat Joe you are thinking of.

David: this is still going on at CAMH, 250 College Street Site - Stokes Auditorium (on the main floor) correct?
You haven't changed venues on us?

I didn't change venue's.... I'll just ask everyone to sit closer.... not at the back of the auditorium.

Sorry, I had to bail on this, something came up. Have fun everyone!

So, at this point.. I only have images from 4 people - Donald, Ryan, Janet, and Lateonomen - (sorry I don't know what your name is). I am missing Mike? And the guest on the list is probably James .. as I know he is coming to present.

See you all tomorrow night.

I apologize for the late cancel.
House arrangements have gone to shite, blah blah blah.
Ugh.
I hope the event is awesome however in my absence!

It is Pavel
(I've signed my e-mail )

P.S. Too bad that just a few people presenting. There are so many talented photographers on tpmg who have a lot of very interesting images and stories to go with them...
