can’t be here because of serious illness of an extended family member.

December Club Competition:  “Dogs and Cats” is the assigned subject.  Photos should be to Meiers Burmeister

by Nov. 9th.  Remember to use N4C naming rules;   Ask an N4C member to learn how to use your member number

and name the photos.  Larry Headley is finalizing the latest roster with your number, but it never changes

once you have it.

Craig Niedbalski explained some of his old/antique cameras

N4C Conference:  Mike barker won 2 Honorable Mentions at Fall N4C conference.  Ina needs volunteers for 2015

fall conference, esp. a marketer to sell ads.  We have a core of people but need the entire club.  Knights of

Aksarben want to donate; they will have a rodeo the week before.

Judges Wanted:  Ina would like 3 people to judge digital future competitions in the Niagra Frontier Regional

Camera Club.  http://www.nfrcc.org    Contact Ina if interested  inacaholo@gmail.com

Paul’s Photo Tips:  Paul spoke about a wilderness experience of a woman in Alaska.   She was attacked by a

bear with the moral being to be VERY aware of your environment when shooting.

Continued Discussion on Possible Change of Venue:  We discussed preferences for moving our location.

 Something happened with the Monkey Survey sent out by Larry and he didn’t receive any of the results that

many members said they sent him.  A show of hands at the meeting indicated that there is not enough interest

was shown in moving, so we will stay at the OHFB the coming year.    We need to submit the dates in the next

few weeks.

Tonight’s program:  Nikki spoke on her experiences as a photographer:  competitions and participation,

composition, processing and plug-ins.
