Here is the most important advice to remember when using a camera at Camp Barbee: Hold the camera perfectly still. In the years to come, you'll wish that there were more media of your favorite camps on this website. That is why we are constantly asking you for images and videos of present-day camps, and photographs of past camps. Soon you'll return to this website and remember the good times and the close friends that you met at Barbee, and you'll have the images and videos of those people and of the camp where all those memories were made. Your media may even inspire other people to go to Camp Barbee next summer, and make a difference in someone's life. When you go to Barbee, take your camera and get lots of pictures and videos for us to post in our galleries. In the years to come, you and all of your friends from Barbee will be glad that you did. Sending your images and videos to us is very easy:
OR You can burn the contents of your memory card to a CD and send that CD to the Camp and the manager will forward it to us! Camp Barbee If you have old hardcopy photographs but no scanner, you can still send your photos to us. Be sure to label each photo by the year and age group, and mail your pictures to Camp Barbee at the address above. We will scan your photographs and send them back to you as soon as possible. Those old pictures have sat in your storage room for years. Go ahead, dig them out, and send them to us. You can live without them for a week or two...and we will take very good care of them. A very special photo that we want very much are clear and crisp images of the entire group that attended camp during your week. You can ask the camp manager to take the group-photo(s) for you so that all of the campers, counselors and director(s) can be in the image together. Please make sure that your camera is set to take a clear and crisp image from a distance if you plan on taking only one photo of your entire group. (Some cameras will do this automatically, and some require manual adjustments.)
Our webmaster converts your raw videos to the same kind of Flash (flv) files that play on YouTube and MySpace. You can also download the Flash Videos from our gallery and keep them on your own computer. Our Downloads page has media players that will play FLV files if your computer needs one, and our FAQs page provides help if your browser won't play the videos from our website. |
