[FONT="]February 13 PNWUPS Meeting[/FONT]
[FONT="]Hope your year is off to a great start! This should be another outstanding year for diving, photography, and travel.[/FONT]
[FONT="]February 13 Meetin[/FONT][FONT="]g[/FONT]
[FONT="]The February meeting will center around two topics: 1.) Calibrating monitors and 2.) Wide angle photography: different lenses, ports, lighting, and settings. A starting point will be some shark photography from a January trip to Tiger Beach in the Bahamas.[/FONT]
[FONT="]We will have calibration hardware and software for anyone who wants to see how this works on their lap tops.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Additionally, we want to firm up dates for some local, Canadian, and California diving. Plans are still progressing for an e-magazine that would showcase Pacific Northwest underwater photographers, dive operators, and travel. The initial test can be found at this link: [/FONT][FONT="]Marker Buoy e-Magazine[/FONT][FONT="].[/FONT]
