The Bethlehem Photo Walk will begin at the corner of Main and Broad Streets in downtown Bethlehem and ultimately end up at the Banana Factory on the South Side. Registration is limited to the 50 individuals.

Hope to see you there!

Congratulations Alice on a very fine picture.

Our Program for this meeting will be “Digital Work Flow” by Scott B. Husted.

Scott is a relative newcomer to the world of photography and digital imaging. He purchased his first DSLR camera in 2006, an Olympus E-500, in order to take up a new hobby to combine with his love of automobile racing. Scott has always had a passion for computers and technology and quickly became fascinated with digital imaging and post processing techniques using Adobe Photoshop and most recently, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Scott is a member of The National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP).

This is open to whatever has to do with “Sleep”. Could be what ever you interpret it to be.

You may now start taking pictures for the August Assignment but please do not post any in the Gallery until August 1st. The assignment will run from August 1 to August 10 at 7pm. At 7pm on August 10 posting will close and voting will start and last until 7pm on August 14th.

Please be sure to get your picture in before the end time as I really do not like to delete pictures for being late. There is plenty of time to get them in but do not wait until the last minute. Start putting them in on August 1 and get it over with.

Be sure to name your photo “Sleep 001″ or whatever number is next. This helps when it is time to vote on the picture so we know which one to vote on.
