September 1st, 2010 Meeting

Calgary Photographic Society Members,

I hope you have had a great summer. Maybe not the best weather, but hopefully there were a lot of things to photograph and sharpen our skills.

Just a reminder, we will be meeting this Wednesday September 1st at our usual meeting room, KNB133 at the University of Calgary. The meeting starts at 7:30pm.

The presentation will be on putting together a slide show of your images.

Make sure you bring in your prints for the print competition. The theme for this month is High Key/Low Key. As always you can bring in 1 print for the theme and 1 print in the open category. You decide what level to enter your prints, novice, intermediate or advanced. I look forward to seeing those images that you took over the summer.

See you on Wednesday.
