PROGRAM NOTES: SEPTEMBER MEETING OF THE WWIG

SOCIAL HOUR AND PRINT VIEWING--
Susann is in Israel. Coffee by Byron Annis as well as cake by Linda's Bakery of West Salem and one of the famous pies by  the legendary Rustic Inn on the North Shore. If you plan to bring prints please place them for display and viewing during the Social Hour.

PRESENTATIONS--

• Phyllis Olsen will discuss Helicon Focus
• 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 who wish to delve into this subject in more detail can borrow the video.
• The Equiptment Lady (http://www.equipmentlady.com/details.html): I recent sold my Nikon D300 camera and all of the DX lenses I had through Laurie Excell. If you are a NAPP member you will almost certainly recognize her name. Much to my surprise the gear sold rapidly and I was pleased with the prices obtained. Laurie's fees were fair and the service given was very professional. All in all it was a completely painless process.
