THE PROGRAM FOR THE JULY MEETING OF THE WWIG

SOCIAL HOUR AND PRINT VIEWING-

Susann Annis is currently visiting family in Colorado but before she left she accomplished 2 important things. She make a cheesecake-- one that you haven't seen before and it's one of her very best-- and she taught Byron how to make her kind of coffee. She has also put herself on call for coffee phone consultation if necessary. I expect a big group tomorrow evening and will try to have enough of everything for all. If you bring prints please be sure to take them to the basement and put them in a place that will illuminate well.

PRESENTATIONS-

• Janet Rosseter on PhotoTouring Along the Great Divide .
• Ben Stern on the Nikon D7000, which seems to be a major leap forward in affordable digital SLR cameras. 
• I attended a one day seminar in Minneapolis given by Joe McNally and David Hobby on lighting using small strobes. I will show a short video of McNally's work and a couple of brief segments of a 2 disc video tutorial. Members delve into this subject in more detail can borrow the video.

ANNOUNCEMENTS-

• Future meetings. The next meeting will be on September7, 2011. There will not be a meeting in August- usually genial host is getting wearing and has lots of other fish to fry in early August.
• The next Topic of the Month and Digital Challenge
• The FINAL REMINDER  about the La Crosse Public Library gallery display in August.
• Christmas Project.
• Communications. The e-mail quandary.

ASK THE EXPERTS-

• Jackie Rand would like to learn more about "tonality" starting with what it is.
• Byron Annis wants to know exactly how a "macro" lens differs from a prime lens of the same focal length (or, for that matter, a zoom lens).
