Image details from Bob:I labeled this “Wooden Horse”. It is a highly cropped shot, converted to B&W in PS CS3, of a Bristlecone tree. This Bristlecone grove is located at the ‘tree line’ and has a well organized visitor center. It is located on the paved road to Mount Evans in Colorado. This small strand of Bristlecone are not as old as the ones in the Eastern Sierras but are still remarkable. Here is a website that might educate others about this remarkable tree.

The presentation by Ed Miksch at the May 4 meeting was packed with pertinent information based on his extensive experience with computers. It was timely for those who are concerned about extra processing requirements for yet another Photoshop upgrade and a venture into HD movies with the new cameras.
Performance Laptops
Ed made the point that it is now possible to enjoy the portability of a laptop with the performance normally associated with the best desktop computers and at a reasonable price. He pointed out that laptops are now available with technology leading Intel i7 and i5 four-core processors and DDR3 memory chips. He also noted that a 64 bit computer and operating system that enables Photoshop to take advantage of large memory sizes above 3.5 gigabytes, is now available in laptops. He described an amazing Nvidia graphics card containing 12 processors and 1 gigabyte of video memory. He recommended external storage devices as the best way to cope with the large file sizes that come with high resolution cameras, HD movies, and bracketing for HDR and panoramas. Blu-ray devices with 25 gigabyte disc capacity are now becoming available for archiving. One very attractive bit of technology that is coming soon is USB 3.0 which will transfer files significantly faster than today’s USB 2.0 and Firewire technology. Two other factors to consider: laptops are not as expandable or repairable as desktop machines and often do not offer convenient connections for multiple printers and external hard drives. Our thanks to Ed for very professional presentation.
