Scott Tracy invites us to tour his observatory on March 22, 2006

Scott Tracy has invited us to tour his observatory located at his home in Granby. He has suggested a date of March 22, 2006 at 7:30 assuming clear skies.

For those of you who are new to the club, Scott Tracy teaches astronomy at Ellington High School and has build an observatory in his back yard. In addition to observing the stars, Scott also uses his telescope to take pictures of the heavens and share them with national astronomy organizations.

Scott spoke to our club last year about photographing the heavens and said he would have us visit his observatory on a cold starry night. I visited Scott's observatory several years ago and enjoyed the experience immensely. I am sure all of our club members will find the visit fascinating.

Hope you can join us.

Meeting Notes: February 6, 2006
Evening Program
Harry introduced our special guest and speaker: Wendy van Welie. Wendy’s Indigo Images Photography Studio is in West Granby. Wendy shared her enthusiasm, passion, and love of photography with the club and guests. She emphasized that we are the documenters of history and it is important that we take and print pictures to pass on to the following generations. Wendy’s job is portrait photography but her hobby is in landscape photography, which provides her more of a chance to experiment. Her advice was to shot, shot and then shot some more! She talked about moving to digital equipment and the digital work flow. Please visit her website www.wendyvanwelie.com to view her work and creative philosophy.

Old Business
1. March Program on Weather Photography still needs a presenter. It was decided that we would all think about presenting some information on one topic( such a lightning, sunset/sunrise, rain, snow, fog, etc ). When you decide on a topic please note it on the blog so we do not have all doing the same weather element! If you are not happy with using the blog, email Harry and he can sort it all out!

2. Many thanks to Peter Dinella for a very informative and enjoyable workshop on Adobe Elements 3. We would like to have a follow up after we have had some time to practice.

New Business
1.A Feb. workshop will be decided upon by Harry and Rob. They will let us know what is planned.

2.Scavenger Hunt Winners: As always ..lots of great shots!
