This is a group of amateur photographers who want to share their knowledge and improve their shooting, post-processing, and printing skills. Our activities include photo critiques, self-imposed shooting assignments, and member presentations or demonstrations on photographic topics. Topics might include things like: Is RAW better than jpeg? What does the histogram tell me? Why shoot to the right? Where can I get good (bird, cityscape, waterfall) shots? So if you would like to have some pho …

We are a scifi and fantasy writing fellowship. What does that mean? Well, I'll tell you my good reader... a group that meets once every two weeks to support each other's scifi and fantasy writing efforts with - editing, critiquing, discussing ideas or just encouraging our floundering efforts. We welcome any length piece of fantasy and science fiction. And be warned, as avid fans of fantasy and science fiction, you will be exposed to certain nerdishness and plenty of particular.

I'm relatively new to Seattle and I would like to start up a group that collaborates and produces short films on a regular basis. More than just a networking or discussion group, I would like this to be an active group that produces work consistently. We share scripts and story ideas, vote on one to produce, and we do it. We pool our resources and we make movies - hopefully every other month. We can submit these movies to festivals or just screen them for ourselves for critique and discussion.

I myself have been interested in transitioning to creative writing for years, and along with it have come all the struggles; nailing down story ideas, carving out time to just write, writing without censoring, developing clear and connected descriptions of scenery, action and characters and answering the question, "is what I'm writing any good." This group is open to other creative writers who want the support of a group in doing all of that, to share their work with and to feel free to grow …

Welcome to the Meetup group for Redmond-based Microsoft photographers.
