Creating a website and getting a domain using Hover and Zenfolio

January 25 · 7:00 PM
Varsity Community Center

I just finished a brand new website http://www.beautywithinphotography.ca/ using Zenfolio and also having the domain registered with https://www.hover.com/. It took me just two days. I would like to share my experience with you. Depending on the numbers I will either have it at my place or a larger venue. After trying several different companies I settled on Zenfolio because it had everything I needed including built in blog, guestbook and unlimited custom pages.

Thank you Dave & Amanda for putting this together! It was very informative to get a look 'behind the scenes' of your Zenfolio websites. Zenfolio has a lot of potential and it was good to know just how flexible the design can be.
Since you also brought up Technicare, I do have some questions about colour correction. Dave, I noted that you have a macbook pro, is this what you use to work on your images, or do you have an external monitor? If so, do you have any recommendations for a good external monitor for photo editing? What software would you recommend for monitor calibration? Lastly, does Technicare provide you with settings they recommend you use in Photoshop or Lightroom?

This group is for passionate photographers from amateurs to semi-pros who want to get together and take photos and share their experiences with photography and the industry. If you are a beginner, please find other groups that will help you learn how to use your camera. Our group is for the more advanced photog and will help you expand your photography skills in the field and online with social media and sales tools. As well we will help you with the digital darkroom with Adobe Lightroom.

Effective October 1, there will be a $24.00 yearly membership fee which will cover unlimited meetups and the cost of the website. Additional fees maybe required for special meetups such as model shoots and other events.

There are a few requirements to consider when joining:

We would like you to be an active member and participate in the meetups, otherwise you will be removed from the group.
Be courteous to your fellow members
Please RSVP and change your status if you cannot attend a meetup
Have fun!!!

We have some guidelines we would like you to follow:

Three no shows without a valid reason and you are dropped. Send us an email, give us a call or change you status if you can't make it. Organizers don't like to be kept waiting.
As of now please provide a profile photo of yourself. It's especially handy for newcomers just coming to their first meetup and not knowing anyone.
This is a meetup group. Not Facebook. I set this group up for us to take photos and to do it with others. I'm also providing the busy people an opportunity to participate via our "unmeetups" such as the contests and assignments as well as the Bow River Project and the Day in Your Life series. This requires you to pick up your camera and take photos. Isn't that why you joined the group? As of now, please attend at least one meetup (or unmeetup) every three months to remain an active member of this group. Failure to do so will possibly have you removed from the group.
