Our November 2009 Meeting about the
Destruction of the Coal Mining Town of Grundy and the
excellent explanation of the Documentary by Russell Belcher
was very heart wrenching. The DVUG audience was
enthralled and asked a lot of questions about the
photographic techniques and ability to get on the
destruction site. Kudos to Russell our DVUG videographer.
****************************************************
Our First Meeting this fall in October had Evan Mater of
Vark Audio as a speaker. About 30 attendees listened to his
really well presented talk and demos on "Wireless Audio for
Video and other Applications".
****************************************************
Our June 2009 Meeting was at the Discovery Channel
Post-Production facilities. It was oversubscribed and we had
61 attendees. We are sorry all of you could not attend
this presentation and fantastic tour.
****************************************************
Our April Meeting on
Underwater Cinematography and Still Photography
with
Dr. Jim Rakowski was fantastic. He told us about the required equipment,
spherical enclosure, and considerations needed to get
outstanding underwater stills and videos. His videos of the
sea life in Indonesia and the Bahamas were breathtaking. We
will invite him back after his trip to the Dutch Antilles,
since he did not have time to talk about the techniques he
used such as Lightroom and others to make the colors and
focus so vivid.
****************************************************
March's meeting at Richard Harrington's RHED Pixel offices and studio
had a full audience of 45 DVUG members. We did reach our limit and are
sorry some people could not attend because they signed up too late and we
could not handle the excess people.
The tour of the studio was excellent and as usual Richard gave an
outstanding presentation about some of the new Adobe CS4 applications.
We hope Rich will be back with us next year.

In November and December our group had tours of the Fairfax Public Access (FPA) television station. The
DVUG members reaction was amazement at the excellent facilities and courses available to anyone
by Fairfax. See the FPA
website
The October Meeting "Podcasting as a Career" presented by Ray Ortega. It was an excellent presentation well received by our group. Look at his website

The September meeting “Audio for Video, Podcasting, and Broadcasting“
presented by Ed Helvey and David McAlary

Audience. The presentation and visuals were clear and we expect to have
