Club Meeting
Our next club meeting will be held Tuesday, September 14th from 7-9 pm at the Presbyterian Church on the corner of State and 10th streets in downtown Bowling Green. Meetings are generally held on the second Tuesday of every month.
We are also having a more informal meeting on the fourth Tuesday of every month at the WKU Alive Center located at 1313 31-W Bypass. This meeting usually has a main subject that's determined beforehand as well as Q&A about equipment. These meetings are also from 7-9 pm.

As members arrived, state fair participants displayed their entries for everyone to review. Some last minute decisions were still being made as the deadline approached. Preparations for this year's state fair came to a close and the regular meeting got under way.
Our main program was a DVD presentation by Kirk Voclain on Senior Studio Techniques and Senior Enhancement Techniques….Voclain Style. He was very entertaining as he explained the tips and tricks of his trade. I believe everyone went home eager to try some new ideas.
The club contest photos for Nature, Open Topic and HDR were reviewed. It turned out to be the Alan and Sheila Reeves show with special guest Donnie Brown. The quality of photographs just keeps getting better and better. Here are the winners:
