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 …

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.

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