PSA Newsletter - Winter 2012 From PSA, the latest newsletter about and for camera clubs.

One of our members sent this to me and thought it would be interesting for club members to read.

I’m sure other camera manufacturers aren’t far behind!

From time to time we get requests from people looking for wedding photographers.

If you shoot weddings and you’d like to have these leads forwarded to you, please email President@LinnAreaPhotoClub.org and let me know.

I have a request right now waiting for a response.

I got notice from a couple members you can order Lightroom 3 for $80 today only.

Due to ongoing construction at Wickiup, some parking spaces are available, and the 2nd classroom (Classroom B) is not available to LAPC this weekend.  We will meet in Classroom A for the meeting and for the monthly contest.  Your 2012 $25 annual membership dues are due.  Both discounts from our sponsors and the option to complete in the monthly contests (Feb=Green) require that your dues be current.

The email newsletter system on our website has been down and out for a couple weeks. I worked with the developer to get to the bottom and we just ran out of time and patience so we upgraded.

You’ll see a new format for the newsletter and no matter how much content is posted daily, you’ll get only one email per day.

There have been a few updates that were not sent out, please visit: http://linnareaphotoclub.org/blog/ to review the most recent postings.

Don’t forget our next meeting Sunday Feb 12th at Wickiup. Event details can be found here: http://linnareaphotoclub.org/events/upcoming/

The Quad Cities Camera Club is looking for experienced photographers who have judging credentials.  If you are or if know anyone, please have them contact me ASAP.

Thanks,

Good afternoon everyone!

It’s been a while…I trust you are all doing well. I purchased a used 400 mm fixed prime, 2.8 IS lens for Canon online that is just too much of a beast for me to handle (6.4 x 13.7″, 11.8 lbs). I am going to put it on Ebay, but thought I would offer it to you all first. It is a great lens, clean, nothing wrong with it that I can tell. It comes with a lens cover and case (The keys are missing to the case. But trust me, this thing would be very difficult to steal out of the case! )

I am attaching some photos I took of it and with it. Image1 Image2 Image3

My goodness, you can see details of each feather! I am asking $5900. Let me know if you want to see it.

Have a great day!
