September 2014 Meeting Beginner’s Digital Photography SIG

Chapman Univ Parking LotSIG Leader: John Krill #3160

We had 8 members at the meeting.

Youtube Video Of The Month

We didn’t show a video this month. You can still visit the SIG blog and click on John’s Youtube Playlist to view all the videos we have shown during the meetings and many more.

Rent Before You Buy

Before buying that new digital camera you might want to rent one first. May camera stores provide rentals and you can also go online to rent that future purchase. I recently rented a Fujifilm X100S from LenRentals.com. The entire process was pain free and I learned that I probably wouldn’t buy that camera.

The featured photo was taken with the Fujifilm X100S,

NOTE: The day after I returned the camera to LenRentals.com Fujifilm released an upgrade to the X100S. The new camera, the X100T, included many of the changes that I talked about during the meeting. Now comes decision time. We will see.

User Questions

We spent most of the remaining time answering questions. It had been very encouraging that members are bringing in their questions. Keep them coming.

October Meeting

I will continue to show one or two Youtube videos at the beginning of the meeting. Will discuss ISO. What is ISO? Maybe more slideshows? Anyone have some travel or family pictures to share? How about photos of children?

PS: You have any ideas?

Where the Pictures From The Main Meeting Go To Die

Note: I am using a new Web location for the photos I take at the meeting. I now upload the photos I take to Microsoft OneDrive and Flickr. A link will be put here every month to the folder location with the current month’s photos.

No photographs this month.
