The next meeting of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club will be held on April 10, at the Community United Methodist Church on Lewis St. We will have social hour at 6 pm, and the program will begin at 6:30 pm. This month’s program will be a discussion of Building your Photographic Website, presented by Andy Butler and Doug Coombs.
If you are a photographer, the chances are you like to share your images with others. Whether you just want to show off your photos to family and friends, want to reach a wider audience, or perhaps sell your work, there are numerous on-line tools available to help. The choice of which of these tools you might use will vary, depending on your goals. For some, social media may be enough. But if part of your audience doesn’t partake in social media, or you want a platform where you have more control over your images and their presentation, building your own website to share your photos may be the best choice. Andy will briefly discuss a variety of different platforms available for photographers to show their images, and considerations for choosing between them. Doug will then demonstrate the basics of creating a site using one popular photo hosting service, Smugmug. Doug has built a preliminary version of a Smugmug site which is available to members of the Photo Club to highlight some of your own images, which he will also discuss.
Following the presentation, we’ll have our usual image share. Members may bring up to 5 images on a flash drive to share with the group. If attending by Zoom, please email your photos to abutler@mac.com by April 9. Please save your images as JPEG files, at a size of around 2400 pixels on the long dimension.
