Along with LaunchMemphis, LunaWeb recently co-hosted TribeCamp, a day-long conference on social media, web topics and professional development. We’ll be posting notes from some TribeCamp sessions over the next couple of weeks. The posts will be on a variety of topics, from social media to production to content.

Capturing Light

Presented at TribeCamp by Justin McGregor
When the shot matters, you don’t want to miss it because you’re fiddling with your camera’s exposure settings. It’s just got to come naturally, says Justin McGregor, and step one is learning about aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. Then, go play with your camera until adjusting these elements is like second nature.
“Capturing Light” was an exposure 101 course for photography beginners. Justin went over the definitions and basic principles of aperture, ISO, and shutter speed, and then tossed out a few great photography websites and blogs to check out!

Social Expedition October Breakfast: No need to starve like an artist

You can doodle and paint. You can figure out the name of that mystery song on the radio. You can even auto-tune yourself, all with the click of an iPhone app. Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, “there’s an app for that” has become the buzz phrase for just about any functionality you can dream up in a mobile device — and now, there’s an app for arts in Memphis.

As of Sept. 24, iPhone users can access comprehensive calendars to find arts events in the city, Google Map the destination, get tickets and post a review of the event all with the newly launched ArtsMemphis app. And if you can’t get out to see the real thing, you can watch ArtsMemphis TV for a helping of local culture from pretty much anywhere.

Lucky for us (and hopefully you), Lindsey Coates, ArtsMemphis manager of marketing and communications, will be the featured speaker at our upcoming breakfast. She’ll be able to fill us in on the development process for the app — on which ArtsMemphis worked with local developers ResoluteGames — and also how ArtsMemphis is using its new iPhone connections plus Twitter and other web 2.0 functions to reach arts lovers in and outside of Memphis in a totally new way. Plus, as a non-profit, ArtsMemphis faces its own unique challenges when it comes to web marketing and social media. Coates will address those challenges and how they’ve been working through them during ArtsMemphis’ 18-month process of establishing a social media presence.

As usual, we’ll be at the University of Memphis Holiday Inn at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, with breakfast and casual conversation before the presentation and core conversations afterward. Please RSVP at the Social Media Expedition Meetup page, and do so quickly; we do have a limited number of seats available.
