At Sunday's meeting
we were treated to a cross country whirlwind trip that displayed
Canada's wildlife at it's finest. Kyle Blaney showed us
images captured on his 20,000km camping trip this past Spring
which started close to home – in Belleville - and ended up in
Vancouver via the Northwest Territories. Rare birds and encounters
with confused bears and angry otters were but a part of his very
enjoyable presentation. Kyle also discussed his role as outreach
coordinator for the Shad enrichment program for gifted teens prior to
their entry to our universities and encouraged more local
representation in this program.
We also reviewed the
results of our Sept 24th LightPainting workshop
that was held on the Belleville waterfront and led by Glen Dobson.
Three slideshows completed the evening's events, including a Glimpse
of the Island and People of Cuba (by James Archbold &
Kathryn MacDonald), our Ameliasburgh outing slideshow
and the monthly theme A Splash of Colour show. The
images from the later two slideshows have been uploaded to our
Facebook page for your viewing pleasure.
The meeting was well
attended and we had great member participation in submitting material
for the meeting with 32 individuals sharing their work for our
collective review. Thanks to all who participated.
The theme challenge
for November is Rule of Thirds & Variants (images
due at the end of November). The theme for December will be Member's
Choice - to be shown at our January meeting. These Choice
images can be from your portfolio of past images on any subject of
your choosing.
Our outing for
November will be held on lucky Friday November 13th. It
will be a night shoot of the lighting of the festive lights in
downtown Napanee. There will be a large street party with musicians
and the like – lots to shoot.
Next meeting
(Sunday, Dec 6th) is our annual CFC Awards Night &
Gala with gormet pot-luck dining and great comeraderie.
Thanks again and
happy shooting!
Ken
