That's right – we
finally swept away the dust & dirt from our cameras and reviewed
how to use but not abuse our very precious photographic
devices. We were pleased to have Douglas Banks - a
professional camera repair technician – come in and spruce up a
table-full of cameras. We have a lot of very happy shooters as a
result of his efforts.
The meeting itself
centered on a demonstration of HDR workflow by Glen Dobson who
introduced us to his method of using layers and masks in Photoshop to
fine-tune his final HDR images. Glen's easy-going style and his
de-emphasis of the detailed technical aspects of the programs, made
his presentation both educational and entertaining.
Our slideshows for
the evening consisted of the Huyck's Point Trail outing from mid August and a trip to the Backcountry of Point
Petre by a group of our members in early May. In addition we aired
the August Theme challenge slideshow entitled – Anything
Nautical –
which has submissions from 23 different photographers. In total, 28
of our members contributed images for our September meeting – a very
high participation rate! The
outing and theme photos have been posted to our Facebook page.
Our
theme challenges for the coming months are for September – Balance
&/or Framing,
and for October – A Splash of Colour.
We've
planned an outing/workshop for Thursday evening, Sept 24th
where we will have some fun with man-made lights
in motion
and do a little light painting
in the dark. Hopefully we will get a nice sunset to boot! We will
meet at/near Meyer's Pier on the Belleville waterfront at 6:30pm.
Thanks again for all who come and participate in our club
activities.
