I and others are concerned that the low temperatures predicted or Thursday evening (and Friday and Saturday), will keep members at home. We feel that it would be best to cancel the January meeting and move the Best Photos of 2017 to our February meeting, hoping for better weather.

This is good weather for frozen waterfalls, if you want to add to your collection. Ithaca Falls is a good place to begin, but there are others.

The deadline for the State of the Art show is fast approaching (Feb 9). It is a good opportunity to share your work in our community. You submit digital versions for selection, but will quickly need prints for those selected. Details are at www.soagithaca.org

The Canadian American Photo Expo will occur in late April. See https://www.canamexpo.com for details. It has two days of workshops on a variety of photography topics. There appear to be three experts on nature photography. Two were at the Smoky Man workshop and were accomplished presenters. Registration is open.

Stay warm!
