Photos from January’s Technical Meeting

01Feb10

Hi Everyone … here are couple photos from the January Technical Meeting. I hope you feel free to join us at the Worcester Public Library once a month for the Seven Hills Camera Club Technical Meeting, coordinated by Don Roberts, Technical Director for the club. When are the meetings? The time may change each month because of the Library’s changing schedule. Don usually sends out a Yahoo email letting us know when the next one is. Please join us … lots of good information including awesome member slide shows like the one Linda Carlson showed us using Photodex Pro Show Gold.  Thanks Linda! And, group members brings us up to speed on some of the latest equipment on the market, like the new NetBook which Casey brought in and spoke about. For those at the meeting thinking about buying one, Casey gave us some good information to help us make a better informed buying decision. Software reviews are also in the mix of presentations. Thanks to everyone who makes these meetings possible.

Dick Wilson was our quest speaker with his presentation of the “Joy of Making a Slide Show”. His show combined his personal travels and story telling with instructional use of the software programs he uses was very entertaining as well as informative. His talent, creativity and humor were evident through out the whole program. Although it took Dick many hours to produce the show he emphasized you should always have fun while doing it. Our many thanks to Dick for a great program.
