Topics that Campers would like covered

Please add your name if you also want this and also add your desired topics. Putting your name beside a topic doesn't mean you have to lead that sesssion ONLY that you are interested in that topic!

• Workflow, backup, etc
• Beyond flickr - other photosharing services for fun and profit
• Flickr tips/hacks/lightning talks
• Fun with Flash photography
• Mobile photosharing and photography with ShoZu, FileMobile, AmbientVector etc
• Cross processing digital stylee and *gasp* using film
• Using a film camera to learn how your digital camera works - Derek K. Miller (I'd be happy to lead this -- see some of my ideas at http://penmachine.com/labels/cameraworks ). Looking at the physical construction of a camera to understand focal length, aperture f-numbers, and shutter speed. I'm bringing my gear as examples, but if you have a film SLR (or rangefinder) and interesting lenses (big telephoto, ultra-wide-angle, etc.) that you don't mind me handling gently, I'd appreciate that too.
• Prepping for Web and Printing - Colour Spaces, Sharpening, and Actions
• Technical overview of digital cameras and how they differ from film
• Coping with RAW file format
• Macro photography, low-cost lens tricks for hobbyists - Cameron Cavers ("reactionlab" on Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/reactionlab ) - I've been playing with macro extender rings and old full-manual lenses; if anyone is into it, we could discuss how to use cheap accessories like extenders & "Lensbaby" attachments, used equipment and old school stuff like bellows
