Although things were so busy with me last month that I was unable to ask your opinion on what topic to discuss at our October meeting, I'd like to get back to doing that. As such, I'm going to let all of you choose the meeting topic again from the list below. Happy selecting!

Something I still have trouble with after all these years sometimes. Photographing shiny objects without too much reflection and without ruining the composition of it.

I suppose I could to a tutorial on that, but honestly about 75% of it would be: "use a circular polarizer filter." The other 25% would be "use diffuse lighting."

Inspired by the above question and answer. What are the different kinds of filters, etc... used in photography, and what do they do?

BTW, has there been an announcement about which photos were chosen for the calendar and what happens next?

The ones with the most votes are the winners and the calendar is getting put together right now.

I'd like to see something about framing a shot, perhaps specifically with human subjects? But I'll be interested to learn just about anything.

It's possible, depending on the shutter speed you choose (no slower than 1/60th of a second while handheld if you do not have image stabilization enabled on your camera and no slower than about 1/8 of a second if it is enabled). It could also be that the autofocus is out of whack on your camera (i.e., what you see through the viewfinder isn't what the camera's sensor is seeing.)

Bumping in a selfish attempt to get more votes.

This will probably be the last time I bump this, folks. Please vote if you are interested.
