OLLI Photo Club - Filenaming Convention and Uploading Instructions

November 22, 2020 by George Bradshaw

Overview • Galleries (See Galleries) • Monthly Themes • Field Trips • Speakers • Projects


.

The filenaming convention and uploading instructions for OPC courses are listed together on this page.  Please see OPC File Naming Convention for complete filenaming information.

 

File Naming Convention for OPC Courses

The file naming convention for OLLI Photo Club (OPC) courses is similar to that used for the OPC’s routine galleries:

  • The filename contains two fields: the photographer’s name and the image’s title,
  • The title field of a filename will include up to two elements: the image’s descriptive title, and in some cases, a Photo ID to ensure filename uniqueness,
  • “hyphens”, preceded and followed by a “space” character, will separate the two fields, and
  • The title field may contain “spaces.”

 

The filename format "for this course only" is

LastnameFirstinitial - Title [ PhotoID ]

The brackets ( “[“ and “]” ) indicate an optional element in the filename.  This optional element is used only to ensure filename uniqueness.  The course’s instructor may require use of a particular form of the PhotoID.

Examples:

          When the title is unique

          SmithJ - Beautiful Trees.jpg

 

          When duplicate titles must be made unique

          SmithJ - Beautiful Trees 1.jpg

          SmithJ - Beautiful Trees 2.jpg

 

          When the camera’s filename is used to ensure uniqueness

          SmithJ - Beautiful Trees IMG_1234.jpg

          SmithJ - Beautiful Trees IMG_5678.jpg

 

          Other filename formats that will not be used in this course

          IMG_1234.jpg
          IMG_1234-Edit-1.jpg
          yyyymmdd-hhmmss.jpg

 

Notes:

The only characters allowed in a filename for this course are alphanumerics, “spaces,” “hyphens,” and, for camera filename elements only, “underbar.”

The “.jpg” suffix is normally appended by your PC’s software.

“PhotoID” is only required when needing to distinguish among multiple photos.

The last three examples are just for information purposes.  They are other typical file naming formats designed to ensure uniqueness of file names, the first being a camera-generated filename, the second indicating the existence of an external photo “editor” such as PhotoShop, and the third a date and time stamp.

Uploading Instructions for OPC Courses

  1. Create a JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg) photo named according to the "File Naming Convention" specified for the gallery. Note: Depending upon your workflow, you may not want to change the name of an original JPEG file; in this case, change the name of a copy of the original file.
  2. Enter the "upload link" into your browser to show the OPC’s "Upload to ‘Gallery’ ” window.  Note: some courses have a "Sandbox" gallery to practice the upload process. You will receive an email from the instructor with an upload link for a Sandbox gallery (if used in the course) and for a gallery specific to each session of the course.
  3. Drag and drop your photo file(s) into the window (or "Browse Computer") using the file manager of your PC:
    1. in Microsoft Windows, the file manager is File Explorer;
    2. in Apple macOS, the file manager is Finder.
  4. Wait until the upload completes and click the "Done" button.
  5. View your images at the appropriate OPC gallery. For example, this course's galleries are maintained at the OPC photo repository (https://olliphotoclubgmu.smugmug.com), and the galleries can be found via the following menu sequence:

          > Galleries
          > Special
          > OLLI Courses
          > "Name of Course"

 

          For example, access to the "Name of Course" could be

          > Intermediate DSL Photography, 201809

 

          Access to the practice gallery (Sandbox) would then be:

          > "Course name abbreviation" Sandbox

          (e.g., "> IDP 201809 Sandbox")

 

          And access to the "Name of Course" for an assignment gallery would then be:

          > "Course name abbreviation" YYYYMMDD

          (e.g., "> IDP 20180918")

OLLI Photo Club – GRC Photography, 202003

March 13, 2020 by George Bradshaw

Overview • Galleries (See Galleries) • Monthly Themes • Field Trips • Speakers • Projects


 

Welcome to Get It Right in Camera (GRC) Photography

Welcome to our GRC Photography course (F102).  Due to the virus constraints, instead of meeting in the Tallwood Annex, participants will join a Zoom meeting on Tuesdays at 9:40 am.

This course presents photographic challenges for proficient photographers. (GRC stands for Getting it Right in the Camera.) Weekly, each attendee will upload (to a specified website) four photographs taken to meet the theme assigned for that week. These photos should convey the maker’s thoughts based on the theme. Each week there will be an instructor-led discussion of that week’s work. Attendees should be innovative in their design of the picture space as well as compositional and technical approaches. No postprocessing, except for very minor cropping or overall exposure adjustment, is allowed. One of the following themes will be assigned for each of the eight weeks:

Ambiguity, Color, Dreamscapes, Everyday, H2O (water), Motion, Perspective, and Symbolism.

Dan Feighery holds a BS in physics from Philadelphia's Saint Joseph’s University and a master’s in public administration from San Francisco’s Golden Gate University.  He is a retired US Air Force officer and a longtime photo hobbyist.  He founded the OLLI Photo Club and has taught several OLLI photography courses.

OLLI Photo Club - Canon Flash Photography, 202001

December 19, 2019 by George Bradshaw

Welcome to Canon Flash Photography

Welcome to our Canon Flash Photography course (F103). We’ll be meeting in the Tallwood Annex on Tuesdays from 9:40 to 11:05.

This course is for Canon shooters who have (or plan to have) an off-camera flash. We will start with fill-flash to soften shadows, then use flash as the primary light.We will explore relationships of aperture and shutter speed with flash vs. ambient illumination and then learn how to darken the outdoor background. The instructor will explain and demonstrate benefits of second curtain sync and techniques to soften flash illumination, ranging from adjusting the flash head to the use of modifiers. Instruction will cover “through the lens” flash as well as using manual adjustment of both the Canon camera and the flash unit. Classroom space permitting, we’ll set up several soft boxes to demonstrate use of multiple flash units for portraits.

Dan Feighery holds a BS in physics from Philadelphia's Saint Joseph’s University and a master’s in public administration from San Francisco's Golden Gate University.He is a retired Air Force officer and a long-time photo hobbyist.

OLLI Photo Club - Basic Digital Photography, 201909

September 4, 2019 by George Bradshaw

Welcome to Basic Digital Photography

Welcome to our Basic Digital Photography course (F103). We’ll be meeting in the Tallwood Annex on Tuesdays from 9:40 to 11:05.

This course will help students improve their use of natural and artificial light, while taking their camera off full automatic mode. The only prerequisite is that students have read their camera instruction manual and can find the controls to adjust focus, shutter speed, and aperture. Assignments will be to take at least two dozen photos each week and upload two of these photos to a designated site for in-class review. It is suggested that students download the free FastStone Image Viewer Freeware for reviewing and selecting their shots.

Dan Feighery earned a BS in physics from St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia and a master’s in public administration from Golden Gate University in San Francisco. He was the founder of the OLLI Photography Club and has taught various photography courses over the past several years. Photography has been one of his hobbies for the past seven decades.

Welcome to Intermediate DSLR Photography

Welcome to our Spring 2019 Intermediate DSLR Photography course (F104). We’ll be meeting in the Tallwood Annex on Tuesdays from 9:40 to 11:05. This course will have a photo assignment announced each week.

This course assumes attendees can find the basic camera controls including focusing the lens, adjusting white balance, and selecting the shutter speed and aperture settings. We’ll start discussing how those elements work together in making a photograph.  Each week we’ll discuss and practice shooting topical pictures including table-top/macro, landscape, nature, sports and others.  Prior to the first class each attendee is asked to upload a recent favorite photo to the class's gallery.
