Campers who were here way back when will remember the days of filing neatly into the basement of Lotte Hall, lining up along the hall leading to the door of the now-sports room, and receiving a highly sophisticated film (yes, film) camera, and then, after having taken many pictures, during which adjusting the white balance, contrast, and many other specifics that would have to be perfect in order to produce a perfect photograph was necessary, walk into a pitch black room, see a red light and smell the familiar odor of developing chemicals, and begin the complex task of refining the photo so that its projection onto the delicate white paper would be perfect.

Campers today have it a little different.  The name of the game these days is Digital Photo.  As opposed to photography, digital photo focuses on teaching campers the essentials of not only taking pictures, but editing them as well.

And others take pictures of their favorite staff members.

Then, using Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8, campers work to enhance their pictures...

With help from our own Web Photo Guy, Phil, along with numerous of other counselors who run digital photo while Phil is off doing his own photography.

And on a personal level, the first digital photograph I ever took was here, in one of the first Digital Photo activity periods back in 2004.
