This promises to be another worthwhile meeting for family history researchers. *Friday 19 November- Digital Photography- P. Collard - 9:30am - 12:30pm* The fireworks season is fast approaching and taking photos of the amazing firework displays around Sydney is a challenge for most amateur photographers. With that in mind, the topic of discussion for this month's meeting is "fireworks". So come along and learn some of the techniques and tricks of taking stunning photos of fireworks so that you can put them into practice between Christmas and Australia Day. Please note that for this month only the Digital Photography SIG is being held on the 3rd Friday rather that the 4th Friday of the month. *Saturday 20 November - Web Design - R.
