At our May 20th meeting we will discuss website options for photographers.
If you would like to participate in the presentation or have some background/ideas for photography websites please email President@LinnAreaPhotoClub.org so we can prepare ahead of time.
The Beauty of Colorado This is the ad for this Friday’s opening exhibit at the Independence Gallery in Loveland Colorado. Twenty LAPC members went to Rocky Mountain National Park last September on our first photography roadtrip out of Eastern Iowa. If you have any friends in Colorado, please let them know about this exhibit of beautiful images from your fellow LAPC members.
OnOne software has released a new update to it’s Perfect Photo Suite, now 6.1, but that’s not all!
For those who do not own the suite, you can now have two parts of the suite for FREE!

Layers 2 and Perfect Effects 3 are now released as stand alone products. Layers 2 is the full version that can be used on it’s own to add layers to a photo, just like in Photoshop, or it can be used directly from Lightroom4 (and previous versions), PS, and Aperture! An easy and free alternative to purchasing Photoshop!
Perfect Effects 3 is the same as the full version but you don’t get as many “effects” as you would with the Suite version. Effects can be applied (multiple effects too) and can be adjusted just like a layer in PS by adjusting the strength (opacity). It too can be accessed from LR, Aperture, PS, or as a stand-alone.
Check out some of the tutorial videos and download the software! You might find it an awesome replacement if you can’t afford PS or don’t want to deal with sorting through all the options available in PS.
I personally own the full Suite and really like all you can do with it, I just need to find time to learn it more thoroughly before people start asking me to give a demonstration. ;o)

A great post today from Scott Kelby about trying to do something nice for someone, getting shot down by a clique of egotistical photogs, and how the original intent of doing good became something even bigger and better than what was originally planned…. It’s a bit long, but a very good read, and something to think about.

I have been asked to see if any LAPC member is willing to help tutor a new member of LAPC who recently purchased a Canon 7D. The only time she has free is during the day from 9 until 2pm. If you feel you can help her, please drop me an email and I will forward her request directly to you. Thanks!
The last day to sign up for the Canon’s Explorers of Light seminar with the lunch option is Monday March 19th. We will order a few extra that can be purchased during the seminar, however, the extra lunches went quickly last year.
You may still sign up for the seminar without the lunch option until Friday March 23rd. We hope to see all of you there.
March 24th and 25th are fast approaching and we need our members to help us promote the upcoming events on both Saturday and Sunday!
You can email these links to friends, family, co-workers and of course other photographers:
