  National Clustered Spires High Wheel Race

  
  

  The only race of its kind in the nation, this high wheel (penny farthing) bike race features racers from all over the world speeding through the streets of Downtown Frederick. Watch these dare-devils riding antique or replica 19th-century bikes as they compete for the national title. Photos courtesy of Mike Washington, were taken at previous races.

  
  

  Join us to photograph this unique and interesting race on July 12. The website is located here for additional information, including parking options:

  The race will take place in downtown Frederick between 12:00 and 3:00.

  
  

  We have not scheduled a meet up in Frederick before the race due to the expected large number of attendees. If you are interested carpooling, we can assist in arranging that. CMPG members can also meet afterward at one of the local bars or restaurants, or at the lawn party at City Hall Park.

  Our Monthly General Meeting at 6:30pm on Wednesday, August 6th will take a fresh look at Lightroom Editing: Long-Time Features and Latest Updates, with Mark Winter. (Please note this is a change from a previously posted topic. We will have James Corbett back at a future date.)

  Lightroom beginners and advanced users can benefit from seeing how others edit photos and may not be aware of some of the great just-announced updates to Lightroom.  Many of us have our own way of doing things, often using only a small subset of existing features.  In this talk, Mark Winter will describe new features in Lightroom and will demo his simple processing flow that he uses on everything from landscapes, to wildlife, to portraits, using existing and new features in Lightroom.  A second speaker (TBD) will show their approach – proof that there is no single way to create a great image.  This should be a great talk for both the minimalists and the full-detail types of Lightroom users.  At a future meeting we will go over the many non-editing features of Lightroom – from maps to books.
