At this month meeting, I finally got to discuss the oft-deferred "quick topic" item of Auto ISO. It is a very useful
tool for variable light situations and one that isn’t used as often
as it should be. All the details are on our Youtube
channel for your review.
The first slideshow
of the evening was from our recent club outing to Legacy Vintage Building Supplies in Cobourg. This is a very unique location, where useful and not-so-useful things abound the shelves, walls and fields surrounding the facility. It allowed us to zero in on the many fine details and
textures.
The feature item in
our first half was a talk by Larry Tayler entitled Taking it to
the Street. Larry’s relaxed presentation style allowed him to
provide us with the benefits of his learnings from photographing
people in the urban environment, along with many interesting stories
of his experiences as a street photographer. Larry’s provocative
images provide us with great fodder for our upcoming theme challenge
– Urban Photography.
The second half of
the meeting started with a slideshow from Alan Jenner of the wildlife
on display at Parc Omega in Montebello, Quebec. This is a wildlife park with great access for photographers to many members of animal kingdom naturally resident in Canadian forests.
Ramesh
Pooran was our lead speaker in the second half of the
evening, with a discussion of Time
Lapse Photography.
He presented many time lapse examples along with an explanation of
the equipment needed (intervalometer), the process and some tricks of
the trade. In addition, he displayed
some imagery of the Solar
Eclipse
from a recent trip to Shawnee, Wyoming.
Our theme challenge
slideshow Play Fair at the Market
featured
submissions from 21
of our members.
The show included a number of colourful images taken at night at
various recent fairs. These images have been uploaded to our public
Facebook page for your viewing pleasure (as have the Legacy Building
Supplies & Antiques slideshow images).
The theme challenges
were handed down for the next 60 days - October’s theme is Urban
Life
while
November’s
theme is entitled Fall Fiesta. The club outing this
month will occur on Saturday, Oct 14th. It will be a fall
colour driving tour of the Rideau system north of Kingston.
As usual, special thanks go to all who came out and especially to those who participated during the past
month.
