Photography Workshop: Manual ExposureDo you have a digital SLR and want to move beyond photographing in an automatic or semi-automatic mode, like ‘P’ or aperture priority? You’re a lot smarter than your camera and, with a little guidance, can guide it to an exposure that you like more than it might come up with on your own, particularly when you are photographing a scene with significant dynamic range. We will decide as a group where we are meeting, perhaps at an area garden or woodlands. After reviewing why and how you might want to shoot in manual mode and arming you with strategies for quickly exposing for a photograph the way you want it to look, you will get to practice and get feedback. Come with a digital camera and accessories (such as tripod and flash) with which you are familiar.Instructor: Dilip Barman

HELP US BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY! As part of the Town of Carrboro’s race and equity initiative, maintaining data is important to ensure we are reaching and serving all members of our community. In order to achieve this goal, we hope to gain a better understanding of who we are currently serving. Therefore, we have added an ethnicity component to our RecTrac/WebTrac registration and reservation system.

How can you help?

We are asking that everyone who currently has an account through our RecTrac/WebTrac system to update their family’s information by providing the ethnicity of each household member. This will help us with reporting and evaluation of participation in recreation programs and activities, which will help guide our strategies to better serve the community.

If you already have a WebTrac account, please visit http://carrbororec.org and click on the RecConnect registration button:

From there, log into your account. Next, go to ‘Update Account Details’. From here, you can choose the ethnicity of family members in the drop down menu under each person. If you need assistance with your account, you may call the department at 919.918.7364 or email our Administrative Assistant at [email protected].

If you do not have a WebTrac account and the ability to update online, please contact our Administrative Assistant at the above phone number or email address and we can assist you with entering this information.
