FREE WORKSHOPS FOR BEGINNERS

Instructor Harold Jerrell explains, “Have you recently purchased a digital camera? Are you confused with all the camera settings and do you just place the camera in AUTO mode and take pictures? If you would like to become more creative and learn how to use the camera’s settings to make better photographs, then you are invited to participate in free photography workshops at the St. Charles Community Computer Center. Subjects to be discussed will include working your images in the computer, removing unwanted objects such as dust spots or electrical lines, enhancing colors, cropping, sending photographs through e-mail, and finally how to create a DVD slideshow with music that can be watched on TV.”

Harold Jerrell’s photographs have appeared in numerous publications, including Blue Ridge Country magazine and the cover of “Virginia Wildlife” magazine. His photographs are also used on several websites, including http://www.rosehillvirginia.org/ and the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park website. With the theme, “Enjoying Nature through the Eye of the Camera,” Jerrell’s photographs were exhibited at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center in Abingdon, Virginia. Recently retired, Jerrell served as the Lee County Agricultural Extension Agent for Virginia Cooperative Extension for many years. His photographs are primarily outdoor nature scenes.

A recent workshop participant explains, “Harold Jerrell's digital photography class was both helpful and wonderfully enjoyable. Through a series of workshops, the training builds up to making movies from quality still shots with sound and neat extras. There are stunningly beautiful photos of the great outdoors in his sample presentations. Harold Jerrell’s sample presentations include photos from the Lee County area, Smoky Mountains, and other national park scenery with flowers and wilderness landscapes, including a lot of Colorado in the Rockies with big ‘critters.’ I think learning to make these movies will be a lot more fun than just printing photos and putting them into a photo album that sits on the shelf. I highly recommend the class, even if you come just to watch the breathtakingly beautiful movies, while learning how they were made.”

The St. Charles Community Computer Center is located in a white house across the street from the health clinic. The workshops are free and open to the public. No registration is required. Seating is limited to 10 computer stations. The workshops have been designed to assist beginners with no or limited computer or Internet experience. The St. Charles Community Computer Center offers free access to high speed broadband Internet service in its 10-station computer center six days a week.
