January 2009 Critique - Frame in Frame

January Photo Critique

There was a great turnout last night at the photo critique and we met quite a few new members. There were 24 pictures submitted for critique and the category was a frame within a frame. Pictures will be posted soon.

Other things we discussed...

For those of you who don't know, Rangefinder is a free photography magazine which you can subscribe to by filling out your information here.

Also, Cooliris is a web browser plugin for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer that opens a preview of a picture when the mouse hovers over the link. In simpler terms, it is a fun way to view images on sites such as flickr. We will be discussing this more at the next meeting in February.
