Wikipedia:Meetup/Wellington/Picture This Photography Event
What's it about?
Picture This! Share your photos with the world! There is a lack of quality New Zealand (and Wellington) imagery on Wikimedia Commons and it’s our mission to change this! If you’re a photographer or photo enthusiast, come and find out how to use Wikimedia Commons to upload your photos and make them available to all.
At Workshop 1 Saturday 9 March we will introduce you to the Wiki world. Create an account, learn about Creative Commons and dive into Wikicommons. You will now be ready to shoot!
At Workshop 2 Saturday 13 April we will come back to the studio and share our photos with the group. Learn about uploading them to Wikicommons and making them discoverable for everyone to use. There will be a prize for the best contribution.
The workshop will be held Photospace Gallery, 37 Courtenay Place, Wellington, Studio, Level 1
