Our meeting on
Sunday was very well attended and we once again received great
support and participation from many of you. In total, 36 of us
submitted images for the night’s slideshows and presentations.
The session started
with Ramesh presenting a summary of the latest array of Mirrorless
Camera offerings, explaining their advantages/disadvantages
relative to a standard DSLR. Excellent fodder for anyone currently
looking to upgrade their camera equipment!
Our main presenter
of the night was Mike Montgomery who introduced us to the Use
of Layers in graphics editing, using Adobe Photoshop as his
preferred application. The purpose was to get a good understanding
of the basics – how layers worked and how you could use them to
improve your imagery. The tutorial has been uploaded to our Youtube
channel. Mike was not finished though, as he opened the second half
of our meeting with a slideshow entitled The Bohemian
Experience depicting the photographic wonder of areas of the
Czech Republic and Austria.
Next on the Agenda
was a tag-team presentation on Five Great Canadian Photographers,
picking up from an on-going theme over the past year. Margaret
discussed the work of Yousuf Karsh and Roberta Bondar,
Bert discussed Freeman Patterson and I handled Edward
Burtynsky and John Rowlands. All five have very unique
photographic styles and subject matter, and all are well recognized
in their respective fields.
Our final slideshow
of the night covered our theme challenge - Shadows &
Silhouettes. Thirty-three individuals submitted a wonderful
array of images interpreting this theme. The individual images for this and our Outing slideshow have been uploaded to our public Facebook page.
The meeting
concluded with providing theme challenges for the next 60 days- Water on the Move ... for April and The Awakening for May.
