The SSCC now has an on-line forum, moderated by Dan Sisken and Mark Paster.

Why a Discussion Forum?  An online forum for the SSCC will allow club members to more fully share information about photography with each other.  It will allow us to continue the conversation about the various aspects of the activity we love beyond the three meetings and other events we have every month.  Possible forum discussions are camera gear (lenses, camera bodies, tripods, etc.), photographic techniques (exposure, composition), classes and workshops, exhibits and other events, Photoshop how-to, photography web sites, getting your photos on-line, marketing and promotion, and using social media to name just a few.  In addition to the above, members could share photos with each other for discussion, feedback, helpful hints, and the like (please be especially diplomatic).  We also expect that sharing through the SMCC forum will complement Mike Koren’s photo a day project at Flickr.

Platform: The forum is Google Groups, a very simple, intuitive system.  

Sign-up: Either sign the list being circulated at upcoming club meetings or email Dan Sisken at dan.sisken@gmail.com.  All we need is your name and email address.  How it works: you will get an invite by email with a button to click on.  Once you do that, you will be signed up to the forum.  Simple.  

Once you are signed up, you  can  go to the forums at this URL: http://groups.google.com/group/sscameraclub  From there, you can read discussion threads, respond to a thread, and/or start a new thread.  You can also adjust your settings so that you only receive a daily digest of posts instead of getting each one separately by email.  See the “Edit my membership” link on the right.  It is also possible to do most of your interacting with the forum by email.
