LaFollette Pictures Parents Night

Mr Vogel,

A friend of mine, Jim Minard, took photos of the boys swim meet last Friday and has placed them on his web site for us to view and use.  The instructions for viewing and copying the photos is shown below.  Please forward to the team. 

Thanks,

Stephen Wadle

Here is a link to the gallery for the swim team photos:

You can also access the web site by visiting www.three-oaks-photography.comand navigating to the EVENTS page.  Here you will find the Beloit High School Swim Team Gallery where I put my photos from the meet.

All of the Swim team photos on my site are for you to have and enjoy!  I have placed a password on the photo galleries to help secure the photos from unauthorized access; the password format is all lowercase and is the same for this gallery is: bmhsswimming 

The site is set up so you can order merchandise or photo packages directly, however please  know that you do not need to use this web site to order prints or any other items.  I do not make any money on the orders from this site so do not feel obligated to purchase through the web site.  I have received some feedback that the items that were ordered through the web site last year turned out great so it is really up to you.  My experience is that if you want a print it will turn out better from the web site rather than taking the file to a local developer such as Wal-Mart or CVS.

If you want to have a digital copy of the photo for your personal use or to take to Walgreens etc… for making prints, please follow these instructions:

1.        Open up the photo gallery by clicking on the gallery name

2.        You will see many thumbnail pictures on the left and a single larger picture on the right.  The larger photo on the right corresponds to the thumbnail that is currently selected on the left.

3.        Navigate through the thumbnails by using the page selector above the thumbnails to see the entire gallery.  Once  you have found a photo you like you can click on the thumbnail to select it (now it will be in the large view on the right).

4.        Click on the large photo on the right to open it up in its own window.

5.        From the top of the page you now can select SAVE PHOTO to save a copy to your hard drive or removable media device.

6.        Simply click CLOSE and this window will disappear and you will be returned to the gallery.

I would encourage you to use the slideshow feature located at the top right side of the gallery page to get the most enjoyment from the web site;  these kids are really talented and it is so much fun to see the emotion and competitive spirit in their swimming.  You can adjust the speed of the slide show by setting it on the upper left side during the show….usually the FAST setting is best for a quick review of the meet photos. 

I do not have the names of the swimmers on the photos but they are shot and presented on the site in the order of the events so if you review the meet heat sheet you may be able to quickly find your son based on the event that has been captured in the photo.

Please call me if you have any trouble accessing the site or seeing the photos; I can be reached at 815.222.1933. 

See you at the pool!
