| Digital Photography SIG |
| This SIG meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7.p.m. |
|
Taking pictures has never been easier. Make use of your Virtual Darkroom and join us! We play with digital photos from cameras or film scanners. We try to improve them with good software, and then display them either in print or on screen. It's lots of fun and we all learn together!

This month we have a guest speaker, Susan Black from Lancaster. Susan is an unheralded photographer, fairly recently jumping head first into the field after dabbling in it for a long time. One of our CKCS members, B.W. Blanton, “found” Susan at an art exhibit and thought she had a good message to send to aspiring photographers. So – We invited her to talk to the CKCS Digital Imaging Special Interest Group. Susan will talk to the group about how she got involved with photography, her approach to taking pictures and show a bunch of her images.
Our photo contest this month is on “Festivals”. Search your files or get out and take some new pictures of a “festival”. Knowing this group of photographers, it will be interesting in seeing what they think the word festival” means. E-mail your picture to Joe no later than January 25. Resample your image to 1000 pixels on the largest side if you can and e-mail it to joedietz@aol.com. Be sure to put photo contest in the subject line. Images must be received by January 25.
Please join us at Central Kentucky Computer Society on January 26, 2010 at 7 PM. 160 Moore Drive, Suite 106, Lexington KY 40503
