Mobile photograph expert Rory Tucker says his own face isn鈥檛 his subject of choice, but in his presentation iPhoneography 101, the Squamish resident promises to show amateur shooters how to 鈥渦nlick the true potential of [a] phone鈥檚 photographic capacity鈥� with simple tricks and techniques.
Pro freeskier Sean Pettit presents iAdventure, billed as the world鈥檚 first high-production short action film to be completely recorded on an iPhone. An ambassador for Hitcase, a smartphone add-on that also sponsored the Roam Expo, Pettit will explain some of his tools and strategies for great camera work.
The winter travel exhibition is about more than the technology we use to document outdoor adventure 鈥� vital as that may be to a slick Instagram account 鈥� and is the first of its kind in a region that draws thousands of families and outdoor adventurers 12 months of the year.
The expo is focused on three main themes: winter adventure, travel, and fitness. There will be presentations and tutorials, , a consignment sale for new and used gear, children鈥檚 snowboard lessons and in addition to vendors, retailers and destination promoters.
The expo also hosts what is expected to be one of the country鈥檚 largest ski and snowboard consignment sales. Gear for sale will be inspected for safety by professional vendors who are selling last season鈥檚 equipment such as skis, boots, boards and other items.
The general public can also consign gear that is in good condition and less than three years old.
Public consignment drop off takes place Oct. 16 from 12 to 9 p.m. and Oct. 17 from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the 麻豆传媒映画Convention Centre, Hall B, via the concourse.
