February Meeting Minutes & next meeting 3.13.25

Last month we had Jersey Boy's pizza, and brownies and cookie desserts.  We were thinking it might be nice to try to do a pot luck with having everyone bring something easy to snack on, if they have the time and want to bring something. We also saw a lot of nice photos.  I will post some of my favorites below. We had a new member Gray Emery Gove and he will have a  show will be March 20-23  at the expo park in Great Falls.  He brought in one of his prints that he did in a dark room, from a Roloflex camera and mounted on wood. His booth is 70 in The Great Western Show . Check out his web site:  www. Gray EmeryGrove.com Next meeting is March 13th, 2025 at 6 PM at Whitefish Library.  Bring photos to share and any snacks that you want to bring.

Our next meeting is 2.13.25 at the Whitefish Library 6 PM At the last meeting, Frank proposed a theme for this meeting -   Christmas lights. So Dee brought this image of lights refracted in the corrugated  glazing of a small greenhouse. Dee showed another classic seasonal image - from the Big Ug, also   known as Big Mountain, for its famous fog.   Reeder's Alley in Helena has charming little historic buildings. It was so good to see Madelynne and John again!  Madelynne got  terrific images of the northern lights dancing over the mountains and  a historic barn, and an atmospheric image of a handsome buck. Tony caught the serene spirit of Christmas in Whitefish in the wee hours.   For sure, there is Christmas magic in the sparkles - check out the  cropped close up!   Tony also showed photographs rendered into paintings, but I think  these swans are poetry.

Meeting Minutes from Dec meeting and next meeting Jan 9th, 2025

Fun times were had by all at the holiday meeting.  Memories of years past and things to look forward to in the future.  A few gifts were exchanged, some old items were taken away.  James surprised us with a Jersey boys pizza!  After last meeting, having issues with the slideshow player, I decided to look for better options.  I found that our TV was stretching the image to fit it's widescreen size.  Which no one likes their images to be distorted.  I decided to go back to FastStone slideshow player, and it seemed to be a smoother and better quality. At the end of our snacking and chatting, we did show some photos.  Below are a sample of what we saw. Next meeting is January 9th, 2025 at 6 PM Whitefish Library I showed images from Gates of the Mountains on the East side, a few shots from ebiking up GTS and an epic Alpenglow sunset. Kyle showed the club some images from a rental 800 mm lens and his trip to Yellowstone. Tony showed us some epic bird sh...
