Challenge Showcase Results: Water

17th Meeting

News:
I forgot to blog about our meeting 2 weeks ago (16th mtg) where we met up for a workshop on post processing. I went over how to use Lightroom the whole time and I hope you learned a few things. I know I'm always learning and there is so much I still don't know. Good video tutorials at http://jkost.com/ and just do a search and you'll find a plethora of information out there.

Keith shared his plans for shooting at the upcoming Anime convention. We chatted about gear rentals. I showed off my new Shootsac.

I also shared my thoughts on building a community of photographers on social media sites such as twitter and facebook in light of recent events, which involved a hard drive failure and subsequent image recovery from formatted CF cards. You can read about it on dolcepics.com!

Showcase Challenge Results:

There is definitely something magical about water. I don't think these images need an introduction! They speak for themselves.

Our members really outdid themselves this time with all these amazing photos! We're thinking of creating some kind of printed product with all our fave photos at the end of the year. How does that sound?

On this coming Wednesday, we will be trying our hand at photographing water droplets as inspired by Keith! See you there!
