<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">This week!</span> Capture NX class:</strong> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ken Russell will be teaching photo editing using Capture NX.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ken will show different editing skills and demonstrate on YOUR images if you like (and as time permits). If you want Ken to work on one of your images in Capture NX please bring a file to the meeting on Thursday. Nef (RAW) files are best, or tif or jpg. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Note from Ken:</strong> jpgs are not the best file to use, but in some instances you can use it. Highlight or blow outs are hard if not impossible to bring back when you are working on a jpg. A Nef file is your best choice, followed by a tif file. </span><br />

If you missed it ... you missed out!</strong> We discussed the ideas club officers have proposed for the club and then had our first "new" photo critique. (see the previous post). We did not do our usual "impact scoring" of images - rating each 1st place, 2nd place etc... Instead each photographer was able to discuss why they liked their image, how they took it and get feedback for how to improve it. There was a lot of fun and insightful discussion and I thought it went over very well! We have several educational meetings planned for the new year. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>We still need nominations for 2010 officers - President. Vice President . Secretary. Treasurer</strong></span> <br />
<br />
If you have nominations email Mike or Christopher before our next meeting. Feel free to nominate yourself :) It's fun to help out and with a strong functioning Board as support it is NOT hard or time consuming to be an officer. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Our next meeting - and last of the year - will be December 10th</strong></span> <br />
<br />
This will be our end of the year party and election of officers. Club members and spouses invited, please no children. We'll serve Bajio and deserts - YUM. There will be info sent by email as the date gets closer. RSVP will be needed so keep an eye out in your email for more info. <br />
<br />
Happy Thanksgiving and see you all soon!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998107670894812387.post-68170454508995422642009-11-17T10:03:00.000-07:002009-11-17T10:03:05.605-07:00Message from VP and club officers I wanted to post this email message Christopher sent out a couple weeks ago - He did a good job explaining the direction the club is headed.

<br />
Hi everyone!<br />
<br />
I am excited to announce that The High desert photography club is about to embark on some great changes that I think everyone will enjoy.<br />
<br />
We are having a meeting this next Thursday to discuss the proposed changes and get input from the club members.<br />
<br />
The officers of the club and I feel that we have strayed away from what the original plan was in the beginning of the club. <span style="font-size: x-large;">To share, to learn and have fun!</span><br />
<br />
<strong>Here are just a few of the proposed changes in the club:</strong><br />
<br />
-Lower the number of images at critique to one or two<br />
<br />
-Have every month be photographers choice at the critique.<br />
<br />
-Do not score the images anymore. Instead, have a discussion on what could be helpful with the images. {i.e.. composition, exposure, DOF, Photoshop, etc.} No winners, No losers, just helpful tips on photos.<br />
<br />
-We will have the second Thursday of each month be an educational course of some type. We have a short list of ideas already. But, we would love to hear from all of you in what you are interested in.<br />
<br />
-We will plan the educational meetings every quarter at a club meeting with everyone’s input.<br />
<br />
-Make the website a static page and keep the blog for club updates and posting of critique photos <br />
<br />
We will also be taking nominations for new Officers for next year. We will vote at the dec meeting/potluck. If you are interested in serving or know a current member that is, please plan on attending next week.<br />
<br />
We are planning on having the main items catered.<br />
<br />
Caol Hoffman will be sending out information as to what else to bring. We will be doing a photographers choice critique for November and December<br />
<br />
<br />
If you have not made it to a meeting lately, PLEASE try to make it next Thursday. We are really excited with the direction of these plans, please show up and let us know if you think the same way.<br />
<br />
Let’s build this into the best educational photography club in Idaho!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />
<br />
Christopher Balmer<br />

It was Photographers choice, with 53 images submitted. One of our newest members (Rob Himmelspach) took 1st place with an excellent image of a Mountain Goat from the Alpine Wyoming Herd. I must say that the quality of images being presented at the critiques continues to get better all the time making for some stiff competition each month.We continue to see the Club growing in size and recently had to purchase more chairs so everyone could have a seat.<br />We also discussed plans for the Judged Show in April. (more info coming soon)<br />We will be ordering Business cards soon for Members to hand out to people that are interested in our Club.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998107670894812387.post-1540209500098882382009-02-25T09:32:00.002-07:002009-02-25T09:45:30.651-07:00February 26th Meeting<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">The next meeting is a </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">Photographers Choice </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">photo critiques on February 26<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> at 7pm. </span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">Please submit up to three images. 1920 x 1080 x 300<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">dpi</span> maximum resolution.</span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">Email your images to Steve Ridges at <a href="mailto:the_ridges@hotmail.com" target="_blank">the_ridges@hotmail.com</a> </span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">If you choose to bring your images Thursday night, please be there by 6:30pm in order</span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">to provide sufficient time to get them loaded.</span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span></div>Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659646875013041077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998107670894812387.post-36290398776754657372009-02-11T08:23:00.006-07:002009-02-11T08:40:11.901-07:00February 12th Meeting<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib4_R-cR_lW7cxOTKtLE8sidEQPXgb5wb-sjY3KDkZpVryNNynnB9J3Wa8IqrUy8bhj5uWOoGQSH04QZurQJ6SWQ9773Dc8GKSskMR81smW9Ub3FbPwvVzinFIMlHzXMixiBhxD3Y9BEY/s1600-h/flickr-logo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 157px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib4_R-cR_lW7cxOTKtLE8sidEQPXgb5wb-sjY3KDkZpVryNNynnB9J3Wa8IqrUy8bhj5uWOoGQSH04QZurQJ6SWQ9773Dc8GKSskMR81smW9Ub3FbPwvVzinFIMlHzXMixiBhxD3Y9BEY/s400/flickr-logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301564100799309266" border="0" /></a><meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 3.0 (Win32)"><style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } A:link { so-language: zxx } --> </style> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a name="SPELLING_ERROR_21"></a><meta equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><title></title><meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 3.0 (Win32)"><style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> </style> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a name="SPELLING_ERROR_21"></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,serif;">
