Our meeting this coming Wednesday will be at the Baltic Mill at 7:00 pm. We are working on setting up a visit to see Brian Hampton’s photography, but it will take a little longer.
If you have any winter shots you would like to have displayed at the Belvidere City Hall, please put them in a 12″x16″ matte and bring them to the meeting.
The meeting program will be a presentation of the Photoshop’s deep focus capabilities. It is sort of like HDR, but with focus. We will also have a presentation on Nik Software’s Silver FX Pro, which is specifically designed for creating black and white photos, and there will be some discussion about Adobe Lightroom.
Do not forget that it is a new year and Boone County Photography Club dues of $40 are due.
Save the date, February 13, 2010, for a field trip to photograph the ice falls at Starved Rock State Park.
You don’t have to be a Nikon shooter to get something out of the Joe McNally videos on Nikon’s website.
Have a look here.
Tomorrow night bring your photos of Chicago, either from the club trip or otherwise. Don’t have any photos of Chicago? Bring something you like.
See you at 7:00 p.m. in the conference room of the Baltic Mill.

The weather wasn’t our best friend for the trip but we didn’t get wet. Our host Ted Eller did a terrific job organizing the event.
The Boone County Photography Club Meeting this month will be more of a photography shoot at the Boone County Fair grounds. We should all meet at the west entrance of the photography exhibit at 7:00 p.m. this Wednesday, and then spread out to photograph the fair. Stay long enough and you should get some interesting night shots. As near as I can tell, the photography exhibit is in the Home Economics building, if not, I am sure there will be signs.
The subject of our photo display at our September meeting will be shots from out Chicago field trip, or if you could not make it, bring any kind of cityscape that you like.
The subject for our October meeting will be the Boone County Fair, whether taken on our meeting night or not. There are plenty of great photo ops at the fair at many different times of the day.
We have discussed having “framed vistas” as a subject in the future, so if you can incorporate that theme in any of your photos, so much the better.
