NEXT MEETING:
Tuesday, June 17, 2008

Whiskers come in all shapes, sizes, and on many different surfaces besides your stately professor's chops! Drew Jacobs is challenging us to find the most interesting and creative whiskers we can find. I think we're up to it! So that's the challenge for the May 2008 assignment to be shown at the June meeting.

Bring your ten best images to the meeting, and let us know what you did to get those shots by including EXIF information with each photo.

Also next meeting, come find out what a work flow is, and watch one in action. Judy Henderson's presentation has been rescheduled for the June 2008 meeting. She'll walk us through one of her typical work flow sessions, from camera to post-production. Thanks, Judy!!
