August 15, 2011 Meeting Minutes
This was our second meeting at Mike's training facility and we unanimously decided we would like to continue to meet there instead of returning to the Fine Arts Center. We had 11 members present, and two possible new members, Grant Comley and Troy Leitzsey. Remember, Troy is now working at Mike's Garden Gate Gallery.
Guest Speaker. Our invited guest speaker for camera ins. did not show up.
August Walk-About. On August 1st, we were treated to a wonderful discussion on a multitude of topics by professional photographer, Lonnie Hoke, when he hosted us in his studio in Lugoff. Those who were able to attend thoroughly enjoyed both his gracious hospitality and the information he shared with us.
Miscellaneous Topics. Mike briefly discussed "hyper focal length" and the free 3.2 Lightroom download. Here is a link to some info and many tutorials happy surfing:

Future Member Photo Subjects. The following are the monthly photo assignment subjects for the next year:
Oct- Texture Nov-State or National Park Dec-No Meeting ?????? It was suggested no meeting in Dec but we will have one even if only a few show.
