Our February 28th meeting brought out 47 members and 1 guest.
• Dave Noordhoff showed us How To Safely Clean Your Camera’s Sensor.
Dave’s presentation stressed that we should not be overly concerned about cleaning our camera’s sensor unless visible dust is showing up on our pictures. If you feel your sensor needs cleaning and you’re not comfortable with doing it yourself, you can always send it to the manufacturer for professional service. The best way to avoid excess sensor dust is to only change lenses indoors, preferably in a room without carpeting. If you want to do the job yourself, some of the tools that Dave recommends are the Rocket Blower, an Arctic Butterfly or a Eyelead Sensor Gel Stick. If you missed the meeting, you can read a copy of Dave’s Notes

• Our next meeting will be held on March 14th when our guest speaker will be Wesley Liikane, (Cowboy with a camera), who will offer his tutorials on night photography, landscapes and wildlife. This is one you won’t want to miss.
The word “image” comes from the word “imagination.”
It doesn’t come from “lens sharpness” or “noise levels.”
