Volume Photography - Schools and Sports
2023-11-20 17:30 - 21:00 | Moscatiellos, 99 North Greenbush Rd., Troy, NY, 12180, United States
Ruth Wedge will present a program on Volume Photography and the GotPhoto platform that has changed the way she photographs her schools and the way parents order their photos.

Ruth started photographing schools 7 years ago. She took the leap and joined the GotPhoto community last year integrating online ordering for her schools. In one year her sales have more than doubled. No more pre pay with pre order envelopes. No more ordering without options. Now parents get to see the collection of images that were taken of their child. They can order print packages, add images to their packages, add on digital downloads and much more. Giving parents access to these photos has also freed up time for Ruth to pursue other schools. It all starts with a QR code for each child. Ruth will explain the GotPhoto program and how it works. If you are interested in learning more about volume photography and the GotPhoto system you will want to attend our November meeting.

Rhinebeck Aerodrome – Sunday June 25th: The Sunday Show is our WWI dog fight spectacular with a hero, a heroine (Cheer!), the villainous Black Baron of Rhinebeck, scenery, pyrotechnics and a WWI tank. The supporting cast includes many antique automobiles. The stars are the historic airplanes including our 1909 Bleriot, the oldest regularly flying airplane in the Western Hemisphere; the Fokker DR-I Triplane, the most famous fighter of WWI; and a precise replica of the Spirit of St. Louis, which was the first aircraft to fly NY to Paris in 1927. While aircraft rotate on and off the flightline, usually 15-20 are flyable for our shows. (https://oldrhinebeck.org/)
