Photo of the month

Once we get the Digital Photography program rolling we hope to have a Photo of the Month that will show a truly great image that one of our students takes. Of course, until September it is impossible for us to do this (no students yet, although the applications are starting to roll in).

And even then, for the first year there may be months when a photo just doesn't come in that merits the honor (but we expect in second year the competition will be fierce as our students start to show their chops.)

Therefore, this week we post a photo taken by Jamie Beck, of New York. She owns the copyright to this image, which has been posted extensively across the Internet. We link here to her own site where you can see more of these amazingly creative images.Do go to the site. The full impact of the picture may not appear here on the Blog.

And yes, we do know how to do this, and plan to offer tutorials in the program.

All About Lambton College

Students are starting to list Lambton College's Digital Photography program as choices for their school destination for September 2012 (it is not too late to get your name in ... just go to www.ontariocolleges.ca to make your choice.

What we find interesting it that of the first 16 names on the list, only one is from Lambton County, with the rest from other parts of the province ... as far away as Oshawa and Barrie. This means many people will not be really conversant with the college, and will live far enough away that a trip to the college will not be a simple task. So we are going to try and bring the college to you, with an aerial tour of the college, courtesy of Google maps.

Later we will do another video tour that takes a look at facilities within the college, but this one just looks at how nicely the college fits into our small city environment.
