19:00-19:30: Sign-in and mingling period
19:30-20:30: Wireless Digital Photography
20:45-21:30: Sensor Cleaning

== Wireless Digital Photography at Events ==

What do you become when you combine your digital camera with an Eye-Fi
wireless memory card, an EVDO modem and an EVDO/Wi-Fi router? You'll
transform into a walking, talking, snapping, wireless digital
photographer! Come and see how this system can be used during your
future event photography jobs: weddings, parties, and conferences. We
will show how your photos can be automatically uploaded to your
computer and your favorite online photo sharing site.

== Sensor Cleaning ==

Most recent DSLRS have several features to combat sensor dust,
including dust-resistant sensor coatings, ultrasonic vibrations, and
even sticky tape at the bottom of the sensor housing. Despite their
best efforts, they don't always completely rid your sensor of dust. JC
Dill will be demonstrating several products that you can use to
manually clean your sensor, including Dust Aid and Visible Dust. If
you have any products that you find useful for combatting dust, bring
them to the meeting!
