Hey Gang -
We had an awesome meeting tonight! Eddie Boden joined us and gave a very informative workshop on Photoshop. We all enjoyed it and I think everyone felt they got a lot out of it!
At the end of the meeting, we decided on our monthly shooting topics based on the votes right here on the blog.
Here they are:
March = Black and White
April = Buildings and Architecture
May = Shooter's Choice - Anything you want!
June = Plants and Flowers
July = Kentucky
August = Something Old
September = People
October = Perspectives - Take a Different View with Your Camera
November = Urban Decay

What to Do? Where to Go?
Since it will be later this month before we meet again, I thought it would be a good idea to get the ball rolling on the discussion around what we'd like to do as a club this year and where we might like to go. So, please share your thoughts by leaving a comment here, or in the Flickr discussion pool.
Here are some questions/thoughts to guide our discussion:
- What do you want to get out of this club?
- Do you want guest speakers and, if so, who? On what topics?
- Do you want workshops and, if so, covering what subjects?
- Do you want group outings and, if so, where?
- Do you want group exhibits?
- Do you have suggestions to improve our club? Well, let us hear them!
- What do you like/think is working for our club right now and what do you dislike/think isn't working right now? What changes would you like to see?

2009 Schedule
Hello everyone, hope you are having a happy new year!
In our last meeting, which was held Nov 25th, we had a small group but we enjoyed Dewanna's
demonstration of the Windows Movie Maker. We viewed the Autum pictures and discussed them, thanks to all who brought pictures! We also looked at the Shooters blog and talked about utalizing it more.
Just a note to give you the new schedule for 2009 and talk a little about what is to come.
In January, we will announce the "Monthly Shooting Themes" list according to votes made on the Shooters Blog. It looks like BLACK AND WHITE received the most votes with BUILDINGS AND ARC, SOMETHING OLD, PLANTS AND FLOWERS, URBAN DECAY, and PERSPECTIVE
coming in next. It looks like we will have lots of good subjects to shoot but you'll have to come to the meeting in order to get the rest of the list. :)
Eddie Boden Jr. is planning to give a basic Photoshop demonstration in our February meeting, so please plan to come and support his efforts.

Hiroshima: The Lost Photos
Hey Gang -
I thought you would all find this article/story and the associated photos very interesting. . .since all of us are photography enthusiasts and many of us for, among other reasons, because of how photographs can and do preserve time and record our history. The story is amazing and the photos incredible.

Free Compact Flash or Secure Digital Cards
I've been looking to buy some faster SD cards for my camera and came across this great deal on Sandisk Extreme III 4GB Compact Flash and Secure Digital cards. I'm sure most of you have heard of the Sandisk Extreme III's and know what great memory cards they are, so I'm sure you'll agree that this is an unbelievable deal ( at free-after-rebate you can't beat that! ). So I suggest if you're in the market for some more memory for your camera, or just some faster memory ( like me ), you order some before they sell out, because a deal like this can't last long.

We had a great meeting on Tuesday
Thanks go out to all of you who attended the Scott County Shooters meet this past Tuesday evening, with a special thanks to Dewanna Marcum for the excellent tutorial on how to get plugged into our new Scott County Shooters Blog and how to use Flickr. If you haven't signed on as a member of the Shooters group, I encourage you to do so right away. It is an excellent tool for posting comments, questions, advertisements, share photography information, etc. The blog is a private group and the only way you can join is by invitation, so just in case you have lost yours, I will resend it to all of you after this post.
We discussed the agenda for 2009 and found that it was unanimous that we all want more group outings! There WILL be some group outings scheduled in the future. Also, if you have a specific day or event that you have in mind, please post the information along with your phone number on the blog so that we can come along too. Yes, bad weather is right around the corner, but
there are lots of photo ops that come with ice and snow so be ready to get out and shoot.
Another thing the Shooters want more of is educational workshops. If you know of any persons who would be willing to do a workshop for us in 2009, please let us know so that we can get them scheduled. Tamara is working on a couple of speakers and she will give us more details later.
No one was interested in monthly or annual competitions so that will be scratched but most everyone would like to see our group have community exhibits of some kind. So, if you know any local merchants who would be willing to allow us to exhibit our work, please bring it to our attention so we can get a date scheduled.
The Mission Statement authored and posted by Dewanna will stand. It is an excellent statement about the Shooters group and everyone at the last meeting agreed that is spoke for all of us.
Thank you Dewanna for all the work you've put into making this blog available to us; Good Job!
The next meeting is set for Tuesday, November 25Th at 6:30 PM at the Scott Co Library.
The subject to shoot is FALL/AUTUMN. Hope to see all of you there!
