Thanks to everyone that came out tonight. We called the meeting to order at 6 and started with guest speakers. Samantha Lee and Alex Boyle spoke about several photography organizations. They explained the benifets of joining the Professional Photograpgers of America, Florida Professional Photographers and the Professional Photographers of Central Florida. Anyone interested in turning photography into a career should check these organizations out. They then handled questions and handed out some great prizes! We then covered the very basics of photo editing. We played with Lightroom and Gimp. Tu Do gave everyone a rundown of playing with curves and basics of playing with layers. Anyone with questions regarding editing are welcomed to post them on the Facebook group and we will make sure they get answered. Then we ran through a quick critique of the images that were entered into the October Photo Contest. Anyone that entered and wants a more detailed critique please contact one of the officers and we can get those to you. We have changed the format of the Photo Contests and now all vote results will be hidden until the winners are announced. Finally we took questions and adjourned the meeting. The next meeting and outing will be finalized shortly.
