We had a lot of great submissions for the January competition. Thanks to everyone who participated! To view the results check out our Competition Results page. I will be posting the images from the competition as soon as I receive copies of the digital submissions from Chris Volf.

Based on the number of submissions and the amount of time required to judge and critique them I am making an executive decision regarding the President’s Challenge for February. I will be extending the deadline by one week in order to allow enough time on competition night for the regular judging to take place. We will have the President’s Challenge on technical night and plan the technical presentation to allow 30 minutes at the end for the event.

As for the January technical presentation coming up this Friday we have 2 things on the schedule. Don Smith will be sharing some information with us and I will be giving a presentation covering a few topics as well. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone there!

I have had an insanely busy shooting and teaching schedule lately and have gotten a bit behind on a few items but prior to next month’s meetings I do plan on making competition entry forms and membership applications available here on the website for you to download and print. I will also be updating the Competition Info page to reflect the changes being implemented for the 2011 competitive season.
