INSURANCE FOR YOUR CAMERA GEAR
If you are interested in insuring your photographic equipment against damage or theft while it's at home or out on the road, AA Insurance and PFM can both give you details of very cost effective policies to cover this and your home contents including computers and the like.  Average cost for a year is 4 - 6,000 baht depending on the value of your stuff and at least one CMPG member wishes he'd taken some out after last year's presentation on insurance.  Call AA on 053 230 127 or Andrew Williams of PFM on 0870 520 389.

STUFF TO BORROW
We have track lighting and clip on lights, backgrounds, display boards and a small light tent available for members who regularly attend meetings to borrow at very moderate terms.  For details, PM Wyndham by following the link to Private Messaging below.

CURRENT ASSIGNMENTS

"Going To Work"
Open - Anything you'd like to share with the Group
"Ten Of The Best" - Your 10 favourite images: be prepared to tell us why you chose them!



Please upload your single image entries to the corresponding directory in the Assignment Entries folder (Max 5 files, about 1200 x 800 pixels) via the File Sharing application by 12.00 on the day of the next meeting.  Presentations on USB drive can also be brought along on the day - please don't bring CF or SD cards.

Welcome to the Chiang Mai Photographic Group.  We meet every other Wednesday at 7.00pm in Tuskers Bar (see the calendar below) and all those with an interest in photography, be it film or digital are warmly invited.

The Chiang Mai Photographic Group aims to further all aspects of the picture taking abilities of its members through the sharing of skills and mutual support in an informal, inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere. (32x32ThaiFlag.gif ภาษาไทย)

CMPG is run solely for the benefit of its members and a fee of 40bht per person is collected at each meeting to help defray expenses. Meetings last two hours after which we encourage you to stay for a while and chat with other members over a drink in the bar. We can't cover everything in the formal bit and this is a good time to explore interests you share with other photographers.

posted Sun May 23rd @ 12:41 AM

In April 2010 we held an auction at the Chiang Mai Expat Club where the sale of 25 or so pictures donated by members raised almost 25,000 baht.  This video was made with the help of Kevin's Animoto pro-account and shown in a high res version at the CEC meeting in late May as a follow up.  If you'd like a high res copy please ask at a meeting - this version can be downloaded and distributed freely.

Panasonic to ship 8GB and 16GB SHDC with promised 60MB/s read speeds
(Thu, 02 Sep 2010 07:45:00 MST)

Panasonic has announced 8GB and 16GB SDHC cards that are promised to deliver 60MB/s read speeds (no specific write speed data has been given). The new memory cards utilize the faster UHS-I bus interface in achieving quicker throughput. As of this writing, no shipping or announced Canon or Nikon digital SLR supports UHS-I. This means Panasonic's new cards will operate within a bus interface maximum of 25MB/s in today's SD slot-equipped cameras from each manufacturer.
