Check out what the SIGs (Special Interest Groups), they have been holding lots of meetings and going on lots of outings. Participating in a SIG is an excellent way to develop your skills.

Continue sending photograph submittals for the meetings to KenEis@comcast.net.

The "Night Time Photography" workshop on 6/16 at the Library went well.

We will be electing officers at the August meeting.

We have changed the August outing from the Bohemian Nights to the Larimer County Fair. The Bohemians are doing things differently this year and have decided that they didn't need our help. Harry Strharsky is organizing the Larimer County Fair outing. He has divided up the Fair into several shifts and is looking to fill all the shifts so we cover the entire Fair. If you are interested and haven't already signed up please contact Harry at Harry_Strharsky@msn.com.

The July outing will be Saturday July 21 to Rocky Mountain National Park to shoot pictures of little flowers (macro). Meet at 8am in the southwest corner of the Front Range Community College parking lot. Some members are going early 3:30am to shoot the sunrise. If you are interested in joining them contact Andrew (andrew.stiff@gmail.com).

The topic for the August meeting will be macro photography.

This month's coffee outing will be July 25 at 9am at the Dazbog on Cherry St.

This month's evening outing will be July 12 at 7pm in Old Town Square to photograph the Jazz musicians of Bohemian Thursday Nights.
