New Meeting Location for July
For the meeting in July, the Sallees have been kind enough to host as we (the Phillips) will just be moving into our new house. Please contact Phil or Trish for directions if you don’t know where to go. The meeting will be July 21 at 10:30am.

Upgraded Gallery Software
I’ve upgraded the members photo gallery software to version 2, so now it’s faster, easier to manage and much more stable.
Please feel free to update your albums with photos from our trip.

Great Weekend Outing
I hope you all had as good a time as Laura and I did this weekend on our outing to Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive. We took a few hundred pictures – with a lot of deletes needed. We’ll be posting to our gallery once we’re done. You should do the same.
Give me a call if you need help posting.

Coming Soon…
One week from today, our third meeting will be held. Please mark your calendars. I know that Phil has some photos he wants us to critique and I have just purchased Adobe Lightroom, so I can show how that works.
We can also address any questions you might have related to the technology of media management, since most missed last session.

This Last Meeting
We missed most of you at the meeting this last weekend, but certainly look forward to seeing you back on March 17th, our next meeting. It will again be at the Phillips’ place.
We discussed media storage and backup models, and we will be sending out meeting minutes and diagrams when we get around to editing them.
Troy was also kind enough to let us critique some of his work.

New Adobe Lightroom 1.0 Announced
Adobe has announced the availability of the final version of Lightroom. From the Adobe site:
New Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the perfect complement to Adobe Photoshop. Use Lightroom to import, manage, adjust, and present large volumes of digital photographs, and use Photoshop to more thoroughly refine individual images.
Together, Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop work the way the digital photographer works, letting you efficiently and seamlessly process all of your digital images. The picture is complete.
This could be a tool we look at in one of our next meetings. Let me know what you think.
In other news, Hasselblad has released a new 31 megapixel digital full-frame medium format camera… but as it costs $25,000, I didn’t think any of us were going to be springing for it.

Next Meeting
Our next meeting will take place on February 17th at 10:30AM at the Phillips residence. We will discuss photo organization & backup techniques as well as a couple of critiques. Bring your work!
