Pilchuck Camera Club Meeting Minutes
No was no meeting in June. July’s meeting is canceled.
To see images and review results: pcc.bjschwarz.com
The topic for Challenge will remain the same (we had a really small turnout). The topic is "Through the Window".
The judges were Sonya, JD and myself.
Annual Dues
Since it is likely having only a few meetings this year, the Executive Board has voted to not require dues for
this year. If you have already paid, the dues will be carried over to next year. We met quorum and all votes
were in affirmative.
End of Year Contest Results
Due to Covid19 the board decided to present the awards now rather than continue to wait for a possible
banquet. While it’s disappointing not to be able to celebrate in person, we wanted to celebrate our images
submitted for the year and will do that by posting the shows we would see at the banquet on the website and
our private Facebook group.
Here are links to the show that Steve normally produces for the banquet and Renee’s slideshow of winners.

Programs
Creative Macro Doug Goodman sent me a link to a short video on macro photography. The video is mostly about the artistic
side and a method to create droplet images – not so much on the technical side. Some interesting ideas. The
Iris droplet I submitted this month used this technique. (I used a pipette instead of needles and a tripod.)

Topaz AI Sharpening Products
Topaz has several products that can help reduce noise and sharpen an image. This is a test of three of its
products.
