The schedule is now set for the annual ONPA educational seminar this weekend at the Columbus Airport Marriott.
The program begins Friday evening at 7pm with a video workshop by Glenn and Malinda Hartong from the Cincinnati Enquirer. Their presentation will be most helpful for the still photographer who has had a video camera thrust into their hands. The pair will talk about what works and what doesn’t. How still photographers can best attempt to do both at the same time and when they should not try. They have plenty of examples and will show how photographers can shoot and edit in the most efficient way.
On Saturday the program begins at 9 a.m. with NPPA 2009 Solo Video Journalist of the Year, Dave Delozier from KUSA-TV, Denver. Following Delozier will be Kathy Kieliszewski of the Detroit Free Press, She and her talented team of photographers and videographers have won four National Emmy Award awards at the Detroit Free Press.
After a break for lunch attendees will have their choice of hearing NPPA Television Photographer of the Year, Darren Durlach of WBFF-TV, Baltimore or Rob Sumner founding member and photographer at Red Box Pictures. The final speaker of the day will be former NPPA Photographer of the Year Denny Simmons from the Evansville Courier & Press.
Awards will be presented to winners from this years annual contest following the program around 4 p.m.
Their will be a Hospitality Suite open Friday and Saturday evening.
