I shoot in RAW+JPG as I never know what I might want to tweak in RAW.  Mostly, I
just put the JPG photos on a CD to hand to people (like my church), but then I
might take a special photo and I want the RAW.  So I just leave it in RAW+JPG. 
Large chips and large drives, so I don't worry about it.  I can always delete
the RAW after I put it on the hard drive.

I shoot JPG.  If your use to shooting slides then JPG is equal to that.

No problem. Let me know when. There is a lot more to camera raw since the last
time I demonstrated it.

Before I had any editing software I shot jpeg. Then I switched to raw + jpeg and
filled my hard drive, so I deleted the jpegs and switched to raw only. Had a
couple shoots where I knew I wouldn't do any post and switched to jpeg for that.
Problem was, when I finished one, I forgot to switch back to raw for the next
shoot and I shot lots of stuff that day in jpeg when I wanted raw. I'm leaning
going back to raw + jpeg. I've since gotten a new laptop with a larger hard
drive along with an external hard drive so storage is no longer an issue. I run
two 8 gig cards, so that will give me between 600 and 800 shots. I also have a
spare 4 gig card that has my picture controls on so in a pinch I can use that.

All in all, the most important thing, and I've messed up more than once on this,
when you go out to shoot, double check all your settings and be sure they are
what you want. I'm thinking of actually making a checklist. The D90 just has so
many possibilities that can help if done right, yet can screw up your whole day
if you have them set wrong.

I will accept digital submissions for the January competition through Tuesday
evening.  If you haven't paid dues, but plan to on Wednesday and wish to submit
for January competition, you may submit you digital photo prior to Wednesday's
meeting.  Your digital submission will be entered in the competition as long as
dues are paid Wednesday evening.

Thank you and Good luck to everyone!

If we submit digitally, do we also need to have it matted to bring to the
competition night?

different category like Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.  In the theme
category, you will compete with all levels of photographers.  The idea of the
Theme category is bring out everyone's creativity.

If we submit digitally, do we also need to have it matted to bring to the competition night?

Do we need model, or property releases for the contests?
