Digital Photography SIG
In July 2011 our guest presenter was Paul Gregg, whose topic was "From Birds to Blast-Off (and a few photos in between)."  You'll recall his outstanding bird images, and photos of the final Space Shuttle liftoff in Florida.  Well, he's coming back in February 2012 with an exciting new presentation called "Iceland -- Land of Fire and Ice."  Paul and his wife had been on a trip to Iceland last summer, and now we get to experience what they saw on this North Atlantic island country that's famous for it volcanoes, ice, and glaciers.  So, dress accordingly for the presentation (wear a warm sweater, or a T-shirt and Bermuda shorts, or an asbestos overcoat).  This should be interesting!
