All About Light - Meeting Mon 15 Dec

Our upcoming meeting this Monday will feature Enoch Chan, photographer and much more. Enoch's work with light caught my eye at his current photograph exhibition at Bella Gallery in Edgewater.

Enoch holds a BFA in Theatre and a BA in Art History from Boston U. His talk, titled "Figures of Light" will give us some insight in photographing figures in flight with simple setups. From what I've seen, it should be both entertaining and informative.

We'll also hear some suggestions about preparing for our coming Lowe House Office Building exhibition along with framing recommendations for those who have been juried into the show.

And my part to play will be a short demo that follows Enoch's theme: "Light Painting with Photoshop and Lightroom." This is our last meeting of 2008 - come early - we'll start right at 7, Rm 308, Maryland Hall.

CF 8GB memory cards for $10

Hi, shutterbugs - with the holiday gift-giving in mind, you might think about a real deal for yourself or friend/family.

If your camera uses compact flash cards, at Adorama.com until Dec 15 you can order an 8GB card by a reputable manufacturer (Lexar) for under $10 after a huge rebate (82%). I've never had a problem with getting a rebate through Adorama. These also are shipping free and of course no tax for shipments to MD.

An 8GB card will store about 600 RAW shots from a 10MP camera, or roughly 2500+ jpgs. A bit more than a film cartridge, eh?

These are rated fast enough for almost any of us at 133X. I remember seeing these a couple of years ago at over $500. Comparables from Sandisk discounted are about $30 + S&H.
