Our first meeting of the new year, called Novice Night, was an evening of instruction in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Elements. Adam Harpula, Dave Noordhoff and Jim Pollock provided tutorials that were designed to show the power of these programs and encourage those not shooting in RAW to venture into a brave, new world. Several members expressed their thanks and we look forward to doing more of the same in the future. Because of the length of both programs, Margaret Manson graciously agreed to re-schedule her 15 Minutes Of Fame to another meeting.

Our topic for print display was Black and White Portrait, which saw several fine examples of this type of photography.

Dave Noordhoff gave a brief tour of our website and urged us to explore the pages and links provided.

Our next meeting, on January 22nd, will feature

• CAPA Judging for Sports Action
• Club competition for Novices: One
• Club competition for Advanced and Intermediate: Panorama

See our Meeting Schedule for details.

Good photos are like good jokes, if you have to explain, it just isn’t that good.
