Southside Meetups:
This meeting is designed to help you get a feel for what we are doing around the area and where you might like to put your participation. We go over the groups last month, and the coming month's schedule, review the assignment (with very mild commentary), work towards having a few quick educational segments, and then we break up for people to meet with other like minded people. During that time you can seek out leaders, SIG facilitators, other camera owners, and talk until you are ready to go, or we have to kick you out. biggrin

Upcoming Meeting Details:

  • SIG Reporting, Whose been doing what, where.
  • Pro Contest Results & Assignment Review
  • Noise Removal Comparisons, Scott gives an overview of the top Noise removal options. Great for taking those low light shots and getting the most from them.
  • Flickr Tutorial, it's been a while since we taught the group how to use Flickr and June's a wiz at it. Get the low down on how to participate on flickr.

    Assignment Due:
    The monthly assignment and contest for September is:

         Nice job on the photos, everybody. Great presentations, June & Scott. Thanks for boiling down a confusing topic so well, Scott. I heard some really nice comments.

         Great meeting, well planned and organized by the leaders. June and Scott gave very informative presentations. I was familiar with most of the Flickr options June reviewed but did learn several time saving tips I will use in the future. In Scott's presentation on Noise Reduction, he reviewed several software products basically for the sole purpose of Noise Reduction, giving us a synopsis with pros and cons. The changes made in the before/after photos he used as examples could be applied to new digital or older scanned film photos where the quality needs to be improved. Both presented us with useful tips, ideas and suggestions to improve and enhance our photography or the tools to exhibit it more efficiently.

         Really liked the comparison between the different noise reducing software. Very informative. 
      • Co-Leader
         Great Flickr review by June, and a very comprehensive noise reduction review by Scott. Thanks for your contributions to the group! 
      • Co-Leader
         Great to see everyone! The conversations after the meeting are just as fun if not more-so than the meetings. Hope to see a few more of you at upcoming events and social moments.

         I liked the changes is the format. Scott's tutorial on noise reduction technology was great. June's presentation went a little long--given the comments from the group, there is expertise out there that could be shared and the organizers shouldn't have to carry the whole meeting (I would help but have no expertise in this arena:-). Move the screen and group farther into the shadows so the the screen images could be better seen.

         I was surprised at the small turnout but it was a good meeting.
