Lesa & Shawn King of Your Mac Life Will Be Giving a Local Presentation

My name is George Canellis. I'm the Vice President & Group Ambassador for the Long Island Macintosh Users Group. The presenters for our upcoming meeting are Lesa & Shawn King, of Your Mac Life fame & I thought members of this Meetup group might be interested in attending. The following is a brief synopsis of our November meeting, which meets this Friday, November 9th at 7:00PM at the Old Westbury campus of the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT). We will be holding our meeting in Salten Hall. Click here for a printable campus map of NYIT with the event parking & meeting locations highlighted.

This month we're in for a real treat! Join us for an evening of entertainment and camera enlightenment as Your Mac Life co-hosts Shawn and Lesa King lead us through a short version of the Digital Photo Workshop day they'll be leading at Macworld Expo, January 2008, "Shoot & Edit Like a Pro!"

Whether you're using a digital SLR or a point-and-shoot, you'll learn tried and true techniques for getting better shots in camera, plus what to do with them afterwards. Learn how to resize images for various uses, and how to create some of the most popular photo effects around including soft vignettes, collages, partial color, gorgeous grayscale, select retouching secrets and more!

Shawn King is the Host and Executive Producer of the most popular Macintosh-focused Broadcast on the Internet. He has worked in the technology sector for the past 20 years and been a pioneer in online radio for more than 13 years. He is dedicated to not only exploring and having fun with technology personally and professionally, but also in helping others understand and use it in their daily lives.

Lesa Snider King is on a mission to teach the world to create (and use!) beautiful images. An honors graduate of the Art Institute of Dallas, she's been speaking at conferences and writing easy to follow, step-by-step tutorials at GraphicReporter.com since 2001. She is also a stock photographer and chief evangelist for iStockphoto.com and works with David Pogue on many projects. Lesa is the co-author of "Photoshop CS3: The Missing Manual" (O'Reilly, 2007), and writes regularly for NAPP, Macworld Magazine, Elements Techniques, and Layers.

One copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 to be raffled off, plus various goodies from iStockphoto, Griffin Technology, and some autographed Missing Manuals from David Pogue. All this is in addition to our iPod raffle.

Make sure to join us for an informative and entertaining evening and learn how to shoot better photographs and capitalize on one of the most useful graphics tools available to the "consumer" digital photographer and "amateur" graphic artist. You will NOT want to miss this meeting!
