Mike McNamee

"Virgins, Second Time Around"

Mike's Programme

Following the success of a talk for non-expert and virgin Photoshoppers at the last convention, Mike has been persuaded to run the talk again, along the same lines. This is for those who are completely new to digital imaging, so that they can be taught in a stress-free environment with no egos, experts or smart alecs allowed in the room. Anybody who shows more than a smattering of Photoshop knowledge might be asked to leave! Topics covered will address all the snaggy bits that get in the way of taking pictures and getting them out of the far side of your computer in some semblance of order. The instruction will also include basic Windows operation and file handling.

As well as editing Professional Imagemaker, Mike taught photography and imaging at Priestley College, Warrington for more than a decade. He has introduced many hundreds of virgins of all ages (from 10 to 89) to Photoshop.

Photo Quote: Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and the wonder surrounding him. - Ansel Adams
