Club Meeting Summary - September 2011

Welcome to another new photo club season!

Our member spotlight was presented by Sheila Regan, who is an Account Manager at FindLaw.  Sheila uses a Canon Rebel XTI and likes to shoot just about anything.  She showed us some of her sports & graduation photos.  She's also dabbled in selling images on iStock which would make a very interesting future presentation topic.  You can view Sheila's entire presentation here.  Thanks for sharing Sheila!

The focus presentation was given by Craig Madsen, who talked about his recent trip to Montreal to attend the Formula One Grand Prix auto races.  Craig won this trip from Thomson Reuters by entering a contest he spotted in the news on TheLink.  Craig showed many photos of the event, including cars racing and crashing, and talked about what it was like to shoot images at the venue and in challenging weather conditions.  Part of Craig's presentation can be found on the Wiki here.   If you'd like to see all of Craig's photos from his trip - here is the link to the album F1 Race Photos by Craig Madsen, or you can view it on the Slideshows page of the Wiki (scroll down a bit to find it).
