Photography Newsletter November 2010

I have seized the light. I have arrested its flight.
(Louis Daguerre)

November Meeting is in the 4th

This Months Theme is

"People having Fun".

Join us at 6:30 p.m.
Please be on time for the meetings. We need to start the meetings earlier to allow for our new format.

Send your images to me by Wednesday night or you may bring them to the meeting. Please bring only 2 images. Theme related or your best images from the past month are acceptable

At last months meeting we tried a new way of approaching critique of the images and it worked out very well. We are going to do it again but we need you to send your images in early to make it easier to start on time.

 

Remember to size your files no larger than 1024x768 at 100ppi and they should have your name in the beginning example of your files could be (Jim_Swallow_shopping_carts_1_0409.jpg)

It helps tremendously by having all your images together at the end of the year by you using the same method each and every month. Thanks
December is our Holiday party and yearly Projects are shown at that time


For our holiday pot luck dinner please tell us what you would like to bring so that we get a variety of foods
