June Meeting
Jun 6 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Our speaker for June is member Wayne Buhr. Wayne is an award winning photographer who has traveled the world capturing amazong images.

As he says, “Photography is my passion and language of choice. It allows me to communicate a personal perspective of my life experiences. I have tried to capture the common denominators of humanity and the similarities in the lives of ordinary people. Street photography gives me that opportunity.

Our speaker for July is Jurgen Schwerdt. Jurgen is a macro photographer from Nanaimo.  His topic is “Macro Maniac” and will be very informative for all enthusiasts in the club.

As he says, “Macro photography gives me the ability to photograph at home or away in virtually any light and weather condition. That is one of the reasons it has become my favourite pastime.

July Field Trip
Jul 8 @ 10:00 am – 11:45 am

                                        

I discovered this quite by accident but what a great photo op location.  There are several trails but the ones along the water are very easy and provide many photo opportunities.  You can see Shack Island from there and it is an area that was once used as a whaling station but when that closed cabins were built on it.  Many look very run down and are great photos but they are all still owned by descendants of the original owners

 

Lunch is at ABC Restaurant
