This session will take the classroom skills learned in Part 1 and apply them to real-world scenarios while having fun at the same time.  Photo Walks have become popular activities all over the world, and this informative session will entail a Photo Walk of Harrisburg to put some of those skills to use, learning in the process.  So bring your camera and tripod along!  We’ll photograph bridges and buildings and streetscapes, and also go inside a building to shoot an interior space.  Common issues and challenges will be addressed in the real-world environment.  After the program, once you’ve had a chance to put your new digital darkrooms skills to work, we’ll create an online gallery for everyone to share their work. 

Tour Information: We will meet at the parking garage beside Tom Sawer's Diner at 3:30 and tour the Capitol Complex area. A happy hour and networ king at the Federal Taphouse will follow the tour.

This session will be led by Scott D. Butcher, FSMPS, CPSM.  Scott is vice president of JDB Engineering and the current president of the SMPS Foundation.  Although his degree is in marketing and his career has been spent in professional services marketing and business development, Scott developed an interest in photography while he was in college.  Less than a year after graduating, Scott completed the New York Institute of Photography training program, and embarked on the serious hobby of photography.  He regularly shoots project work for JDB Engineering and Nutec Group, and has had more than 1500 of his photographs published in magazines, visitors guides, and relocation guides.  He’s sold some of his images for advertising, and formerly participated in art shows as a fine arts photographer.  The majority of Scott’s published work has come in his own books, where he has combined research, writing, and photography into a series of local interest books including Historic Architecture of Pennsylvania, Lancaster County Reflections, Gettysburg Perspectives, York: America’s Historic Crossroads, Delaware Reflections, and Tucson Perspectives, among others.  The next book in his local interest series will be Harrisburg Reflections, to be released in late 2015.
