Portrait Parlor Orientation

Welcome to the SWMOCC Portrait Parlor. This blog was created as a forum for sharing information related to club-sanctioned portrait sessions with the club membership and other interested parties.

In the future, you'll find info on upcoming portrait sessions on this blog. Also, I'll routinely use this forum to post commentary on recent portrait sessions.

To view portraits taken by club members at the 3 Feb 07 portrait session, go to www.picasaweb.google.com/pixelpusher100/swmoccportraitsession3feb07. Also, you can view David Strong's unprocessed images from this session at www.griznliz.com:80/portrait_gallery.htm.

Those members who were in attendance of the 3 February session are invited to have up to five of their favorite shots posted on the PicasaWeb SWMOCC Portrait Session web gallery. These images should be sent as e-mail attachments to richsmith@mchsi.com. Just resize and save the images as maximum-quality JPEGs at 72ppi (screen) resolution and 12 inches maximum size (measured on the long axis). This downsizing of images is necessary to reduce file transfer time and to make efficient use of the limited data storage space provided by Picasa Web for our gallery.

I'll update the gallery with new images from our club members as they are submitted. Enjoy the gallery, and I hope to see you at the next portrait session.
