It's NOT just Elephant Seals !!!!

Another group image has been discovered and it even
shows the illusive Dennis. This is an example that the
this outing is about MORE than Elephant Seals!!
It's about the entire group getting out to photograph
having a good time and getting to know each other.
As we wait for the 2nd Ano Nuevo group to share
their images, keep in mind that we are coming into a
busy photographic time of year. The Snow Geese
are up by Gray Lodge and snow is finally landing
on the Sierras and with any luck we will be making trips
to Yosemite for the awaited snow on the Valley Floor
or over to the Eastern Sierra if the snow allows.
It is also almost time for the Palo Alto Baylands birds
to start showing their breeding plummage. It is a time for
the wedding photogs to be booking their schedules,
and a good time for whale watching trips. The model/studio
photogs are busy and creating better work than ever.
Please be sure to let us know what is happening
near you so we can enjoy it also. Also, a reminder to
vote in the 1/29 Poll on the Group website. Trying to get
like photogs to know who they share interests with.
While we are waiting to see some of the images hiding
out there from the 1st Ano Nuevo participants,
here is a sample of a souvenir from a new member from
the 1st outing of the winged variety. Who can tell us
the exact name of this variety of Pelican?

1st Ano Nuevo Group Outing-Jan.20th

The 1st Ano Nuevo Group Outing was Jan.20th. and it sounds like a great times was had by all! I will leave it to the attendees to post the images of the Elephant Seals, Pelicans, or whatever...but thanks to Dennis Luz we have some "in action" images that he said we could post.
I can't wait for the rest of the participants to process their images and let us see what they got.
I have NEVER been there so I am leaning from you. Would like to hear back from a few more members that went but haven't reported in yet. If anyone has any suggestions to make Group Outings better in the future, please let me know.
Our NEXT FM_NorCal Ano Nuevo Group Outing is 2/10
Next time we'll have MORE group pix.
Enjoy & in gratitude,
Nelcha

Image Posting.....

Please resrict your image posting to no more than
2 images per post and keep them small
or moderate in size.
If you Save for Web and keep them
no larger than 100K and then use Medium
as your upload size, that would be appreciated.
PLEASE be sure to say somethig about yourself
so others get to know you.
This not meant to be each person's daily blog,
but rather a blog for the group.
So please, each member, only blog occasionally
and give others a chance
and get to know one another and have FUN most of all.
Thank you

FM_NorCal "NOW" has a VOICE !!!

Howdy all,
We now have our own website/blog where we can share images and anecdotes and experiences we have shared in the filed. Maybe we can use it for posting ideas of places that we have seen neat things that others may want to make images. You can all blog here and help turn this into another forum for all of us. The only limitations here are your creative abilities to turn this into the best site for NorCal photogs to want to see!
OK, time to start the fun......if you want to join in....email me and I will add your name to the list of folks that are permitted to blog here.........I'm waiting to hear from you.......
We have alot of talented members that I KNOW can help us turn this into a top notch site!!

WELCOME and Let's Get Started !!!!!

In gratitude,
Nelcha
