Meeting Location Change!! : Our meeting space has changed. We are no longer able to meet at the Well's location. This month thanks to BJ Vance we will be meeting at St. Johns UMC off Monroe Rd. ( http://tr.im/cpmgnew... : Google Map )

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
  • High Speed Flash Sync, Steve Lindenman will review what Flash Sync Speed is and How and When to utilize the High Speed Function
  • Postponed due to Computer Failure: Introduction to Lightroom, Scott begins a 4 part series going over the Lightroom modules.

      Last note... heheh. We'll be meeting in the recreation room which is not in the main church but behind the church. I'm sure we'll have a sign on the door and we'll be hard to miss but just putting it out there! :D

      Yep, results are a dead harddrive. We'll be doing an open Q&A discussion. Share your expertise & knowledge with us, lets answer some questions from those who have them and we know many have them!

      Scott's computer has taken a nosedive. He thinks the HDD has failed and that's causing some issues for tonights presentation. Personally I think it was all the Ziser folks telling Scott's computer to wait! hehe! If you have something you'd like to share tonight please don't hesitate to step up. We're already on Plan B.

      We are still ironing out a location for us. If you have a suggestion please hit up the General discussion thread and let us know your thoughts. It is proving more difficult (and economical) than we thought.

         Thanks so much, BJ, for providing us with a new home. Enjoyed Steve's high speed flash synch presentation and was very inspired by everyone's photos this month. Great to see old friends & new faces. 
      • Pro Member
         I enjoyed Steve's talk about High Speed Flash Sync, very useful information. Andy led an open Q & A session which included questions concerning County and State Business license and/or permits required for a photography business. Also discussed was different marketing techniques.

         When the microphone was used it was good. I have not been able to meet with this club for some time due to work and photography schedule....but this was by far the BEST meeting I have been to. I wish to THANK EVERYONE that was suggesting ideas for me to get business and advertise my Pet & Family photography. I know that it took up time, but if we could have an open discussion like that for the members at every meeting, it would be great. We do meet to share our knowledge, expertise and help one-another, don't we? What better way. When one person ask a question doesn't everybody get a little more knowledge? 
      • Co-Leader
         Great turnout with some new faces. Many thanks to our member BJ, who supplied us with our new location! 
      • Co-Leader
         It was quite a task to launch into a new space, with agendas that were crumbling, but in the end everything fell into a good rhythm. Glad to see the new faces, hope we can continue to do more and help each other.
