ASSIGNMENTS
Assignments are a way for everyone who attends our meetings to participate by displaying up to two photos. The assignments sometimes are made with the idea of teaching a photography lesson, although others are just for fun. Each photo will be critiqued at the meeting, and we hope that everyone will feel comfortable making comments. Don't just try to find the assignment subject, try to make the best possible photo of that subject. Digital photos are preferred but prints will be accepted when we meet in person. You can e-mail digital photos to idbearlakers@msn.com the day before the meeting or earlier.

Milky Way photography is best from May through October in our area with the middle of summer not quite as good. There is no Milky Way here in winter. Plan on nights with no moon. Here is a pretty good article:
