TALKING OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Janice Braud -- won a third place in the Photodex contest with her presentation. Photodex (makers of ProShow Gold and Producer software - which I used to create the show) has a contest to have shows featured on their web site and in their promotional materials (as examples of what can be done). A lot of "big name" professionals participate, so WPC is very proud to have
Janice in our club. Congratulations!!!!
BREAKING THE NEWS
Adobe launched Lightroom 2.0 out of beta. The new version of Lightroom will do a lot of the manipulations photographers commonly perform on images, saving the time-consuming trips to Photoshop and perhaps even reducing the need to own Photoshop.

8) CANON EOS 1N RS - professional 35mm film camera. This is the rare one built with a pellicle mirror which means that there is no blackout during exposure since light travels through the mirror to the film and the mirror does not need to flip up during the exposure. This allows the camera to have an incredibly fast shooting rate of 10 frames per second when set on continuous high, great for sports and action shots. This camera is no lightweight since the body and motor drive are built as one unit. Camera body is in great shape but is missing the rubber eyecup. This camera sold new for $2700.00. It has been a great camera but I don't use it now that I have my digital bodies. Best offer gets it but I would like to get $250. Contact Jim Stoner 936-273-4388
9) CANON EOS 1D-Mark 2, professional Digital SLR. This camera is a great one for sports shooting, portraits, weddings, nature etc. and is in excellent shape. It's 1.3 crop factor will allow wider angle shooting with your lenses than most DSLR's. A fast shooting speed of 8.5 fps made it the fastest DSLR for the past 3 years. With 8 megapixels I have made 30x40" prints with no problem. JUST REDUCED will sell for $2000. Contact Jim Stoner at 936-273-4388.
