Our Next meeting: Wednesday 15th September 2010 :
"Digital Photography - How to manage your photo collection" -All

How do you manage your photo collection and what software do you use?

That is the question we ask and hope to answer at our next meeting.

Over the years we seem to have used numerous software packages or at times just a directory and file structure for storing and managing sets of photos but have we ever found that ideal application that does it all?

I hope as many of us as possible can discuss and demo the software packages and methods we use for managing photographs in our Digital World.

I know that personally despite trying numerous packages I still don't think I have got this right... (Gareth)

Our Last Meeting: Wednesday 25th August at 7:p.m.. Social Evening.

We once more ventured to Dovercourt to the Tower Hotel. As it turned out this was not uneventful as it was an atrocious night with constant rain, added to which at the last minute we had to chauffeur our organizer, Royal, from his home since his usual arrangements had broken down. So Gareth and I did the honours. We would have been very disappointed if Royal had been unable to come and it really cheered him up to meet all his old friends again.

Thanks Royal for organizing the evening which turned out to be a very pleasant evening with good food and banter all round. It was very quiet with very few other guests present.

Here are a few photos taken on the evening.

Editorial
