Fort Collins Digital Camera Club

Please pay your dues for 2018 to Rich Ernst at the next meeting if you haven't already paid. You can find him at most meetings. Annual dues are $25/member with $15 for a spouse and $10 for each additional child under 18. Dues are prorated based on the month you join.`

Check out 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.

Please send your SIG outing schedules to info@fcdcc.com so I can add them to the website.

Send your photograph submittals (corrected fix-it-photos, club outings, challenge topics, or your favorite images) to Walter Lyons at photoeditor@fcdcc.com. Remember to send in before and after versions of your pictures so we can learn about post processing. Please send in 3 or fewer pictures for the slideshow, and send them by Sunday evening so Walt has time to create the slideshow. We also accept short videos for the slideshow.

June meeting challenge topic: "Explosions of Color", send your pictures to photoeditor@fcdcc.com

Please send images (Fix-It-Photos) that you would like everyone to try "Fixing" to Mike Barry at info@fcdcc.com.

If you don't already have a headshot on the website, please send one to Mike Barry at info@fcdcc.com.

Many thanks to Steve Hix for his presentation on "A Life in Photography".

Thanks to Jim Piraino for his presentation on "Who is Jim Piraino?"

Just for future reference: We use the projector that The Coloradoan provides during our meetings, and it requires an HDMI connector if you plan to use your own laptop for your presentation. If you don't have an HDMI connector, you can put your presentation in PDF format on a USB memory stick and play it on the laptop that we use for the club information.

Please check it out our club Facebook page by searching on Facebook for "Fort Collins Digital Camera Club".

We had 19 models and 11 photographers at our club model shoot on 4/21. The Knights of the Tempest shoot went well too, we had about 10 photographers in attendence.

Contact Ken Eis if you are interested in a Photoshop workshop.
