We started the New
Year off with a colourful slideshow from Janice Ruggles-Bolton
entitled - La Magie des Lanternes. It was taken at an
annual lantern festival in Montreal's Royal Botanical Gardens – a
great event for photography. We followed that with our Theme
challenge slideshow of Fun with Friends & Family.
Bert Jenkins then put on a stimulating discussion and display of
images on the topic of Black & White Or Colour – a
constant dilemna for today's photographer. Luckily, it's now one
that we can make in our post digital editing process rather than a
prior commitment as in the analogue days of film photography.
Our second half
commenced with Tina Konecny's documentary on the architectural
magnifence of Prague. After a short review of feedback from
members at our December meeting, we had a short Show & Tell which
featured everything from a $8 substitute for a neutral density filter
(welding mask lens) to various lens & attachments for macro
photography and all the way to a new wifi operated camera demo'd by
Ramesh. The meeting concluded with a Five Favorites
member slideshow (these images have now been uploaded to our Facebook
account).

Our Theme challenge
for January is Wonderful Winter. The February Theme Challenge was handed down –
namely Thru the Looking Glass - essentially anything
with glass in it, is fair game.
The club outing for
this month will be a Duke's hockey game on Friday January 23rd.
The game starts at 7:30, but you should probably get to the Essroc
Arena (111 Belleville St, Wellington) by shortly after 7 to get some
early shots and to check out the vantage spots. We have some preparatory work for you all by going
to the following website which explains in relatively simple terms
how to take good shots at a hockey game.
As our next meeting
is on Sunday Feb 1st, we will need your 10-15 best shots
from the outing submitted by the following Wednesday in order to allow time to put together the slideshow – Hockey Night in the County!
And remember the images don't just have to be of the game – they can be
of the crowd, arena, structures, emotions, etc.
