We had a huge interest in our club at Meadowlark! For those of you checking us out for the first time (or after a long time away), welcome! Some tips – first, make sure to join our Yahoo Group. There’s lots of good info on our list, including reminders and meeting updates and impromptu field trips, not to mention some great discussions. Second, check out our calendar (you’ll see it to the right) or our Meetings page. You’ll find updated information about upcoming meetings. For those of you using iCal on the Mac or Google calendar, you can also subscribe to our calendar (for those of you wondering, that’s what the little icon above the calendar that looks like lines does.)
Again, welcome!
As always, Shelley gave us a wonderful talk this month! High Dynamic Range photography is really fascinating. For those who are interested, the tool she used is called Photomatix and you can check it out and download a trial or purchase ($99US) from their site, http://www.hdrsoft.com/
Many thanks again to Shelley for giving us such an enlightening talk.
Due to problems booking our normal meeting place, we’ll be meeting on TUESDAYS this month only. For those of you who have been members of the club for a while, you’ll recognize this as our old meeting day. So I hope we see some of you old-timers who haven’t been able to make it for a while. 
Also note that Meadowlark is this month, in fact Feb 9-10, with the keynote by Frans Lanting Feb 8. Please buy tix to the keynote and more online beforehand to ensure you get a seat – http://www.meadowlarkphotoexpo.org
Check the calendar regularly and our Yahoo! Groups mailing list for updates. We will announce the location of the macro meeting shortly.
