Feb 26 Meeting was a Great success

The Photo Critique meeting was a great success. 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.
We also discussed plans for the Judged Show in April. (more info coming soon)
We will be ordering Business cards soon for Members to hand out to people that are interested in our Club.
