<br /> Summer is time for you to enjoy yourself with not very many things to worry about. It is a time for you to explore. I explored more things in photography. I met a photographer in Montana this Summer named Amber Fern. She is the owner and lead photographer for Fern Photography. She is a fun and enjoyable person. She puts her own special twist in photography I take that amazing. She is fantastic at her job and takes outstanding pictures. <span style="background-color: white;">I love her work! Look at this picture its so unique. Which makes it 10x more love-able! </span></div>

They go perfectly with each like they are made for each other. I use photography to let my imagination out. It shows the creativity in me. I do it in my free time and sometimes as jobs. I don't use big fancy cameras. I either use my little camera or my Ipod. I think photography is a creative way of life. I get so happy when I see a great picture.

<br /></span></span></span></div>I am a new member to Flickr. If you are not filmilar with Flickr it is a photo sharing website. My friends also got Flickr accounts. Now we have an easy way to share our pictures and edit them for other people to see. You can edit your pictures right in your Flickr. It can be helpful, even though I like editing but I only do it with certain pictures when I think of it as a different way. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The photo editing tool I use is Picnik. I use a premium account but you can still do a lot with the free account. You can get Picnik on Flickr. How you do this is you click on the photo you want and then go to actions, then sort of by the bottom then click edit in Picnik. It takes a while but once you get the hang of it you will love it. I use it a lot, for many uses. It comes in handy for school, and personal use. You can add captions, pictures, make it black and white and more. I think you will get addicted to it like me.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Flickr, is very fun. You can add sets, which are groups of pictures, like photo albums. You go to the top and click organize and create, and then there will be little tabs and click sets. Then there will be a little words under it, it will say create a new set. Click on that. Then on the bottom you will see all your pictures, any that you want click and then drag them. Then you have a set.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Club Click has been a fun experience. I think we could get more people to join it would be fun. We have our Club Click Flickr Group, and I think that it would be fun if everyone in Club Click got permission to get one, and then everyone could share their pictures with our group. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">One of the best parts of Club Club is Skyping with Diane, who lives in New York. She is a very good photographer. I think that we all want to be able to take photographs like her. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">We want anyone who loves taking pictures to join.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">

Mrs. Miller told us about her friend Diane who also loved photography. She thought it would be a great experience to connect and learn together. Diane lives in New York and is a retired librarian. Mrs. Miller loves to take photographs too...this would be something really fun to do together. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />One day at school, Mrs. Miller, Bailey, and I were talking to Diane on Skype. Then Diane had an idea about making a photography club. We though that it would be cool if we had a different theme every month. While we were walking back to class thinking of names for our new photography club, Mrs. Miller said, “ What about Click Club?”, and Bailey and I were like “ Umm sure”. Then Mrs. Miller was like, “No Club Click!” We said, “Yes!!!!”. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />So that is how the name came along. Then we Skyped Diane for the next 3 days and got all of the details figured out. Our friend Emma set up the blog. We have meetings during advisory and talk through Skype, Google Chat, and email. We also share our photographs in our Flickr group. Last Monday we had a snow day at Van Meter and Mrs. Miller sent out an email encouraging us to take photos on our day off. Weston, who is another 6th graders in our group, took this photograph on a snowy walk. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />Thanks to Club Click we are seeing that Van Meter students can take some awesome photographs. And who knows maybe one of us will go onto be famous someday.</span></div>Shannon McClintock Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17204029519489158065noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583329757387620498.post-6003550272992116742011-01-09T18:58:00.000-08:002011-01-09T19:01:07.077-08:00Club Click by Diane Cordell<meta charset="utf-8"><div>This post is from Diane Cordell's personal blog, <a href="http://dmcordell.blogspot.com/2011/01/club-click.html">Journeys</a>. </div><div>

<br />One of the benefits of semi-retirement is having a flexible schedule that leaves time for interesting new ventures.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://vanmeterlibraryvoice.blogspot.com/" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(0, 102, 204); text-decoration: none; ">Shannon Miller</a> is an online acquaintance who became a friend when we got to connect in real life at the SLJ Leadership Conference this fall. She and I decided to collaborate on a project: we would become co-advisers for her school photography club - Shannon, from the school library media center in Van Meter, Iowa; and me, from my home in upstate New York.
<br />
<br />We <a href="http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/home" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(85, 136, 170); text-decoration: none; ">Skype</a> at times that fit into her students' schedules, keeping in mind the one hour time difference as we plan. Although an Internet problem forced us to cancel one meeting, Shannon, some Van Meter students (in grades 6 - 12), and I have managed to make a good start on organizing Club Click. School administrators have given their approval, an explanatory letter went home to parents, and we have about 20 enthusiastic members.
<br />
<br />The Van Meter students are respectful, creative, and fun to interact with. Some have moved ahead quickly on their own: Kylee (who is old enough to have her own Flickr account) has been building an impressive <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/57143250@N06/" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(85, 136, 170); text-decoration: none; ">collection of photographs</a>. Alissa includes lovely photos in her <a href="http://mylife-alissa.blogspot.com/" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(85, 136, 170); text-decoration: none; ">blog postings</a>.
<br />
<br />And then there's Emma, who not only has a <a href="http://vanmeterwetalk.blogspot.com/" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(85, 136, 170); text-decoration: none; ">blog of her own</a>, and a<a href="http://twitter.com/emmadurf" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(85, 136, 170); text-decoration: none; ">Twitter account</a> (with her parents' knowledge and approval), but also has volunteered to set up and administer the <a href="http://vanmeterclubclick.blogspot.com/" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(0, 102, 204); text-decoration: none; ">official club blog</a>, which will feature students and their photographic work.
<br />
<br />Our <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1563831@N20/pool/" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(85, 136, 170); text-decoration: none; ">Club Click Flickr group</a> has more adult than student uploads right now, but that will change as Shannon and I determine the best way to allow younger members to share their photos.
<br />
<br />In our Skype sessions, we've discussed some of the possible directions in which the club might move, from choosing themes to constructively critiquing each other's work to community service projects. I talked about the importance of tagging, and displayed some of the tools available on Flickr. Shannon and I have been stashing relevant resources in diigo; we want to offer students as many options as possible to feed their obvious enthusiasm for taking, editing, and sharing photographs.
