What we have
Our speaker for August is former club member and President Randy Hall. Randy will be talking to us about getting more out of your camera.
Randy is a Vancouver Island photographer, specializing in landscape and nature photography. A past member of the club, he started into a business venture about 5 years ago, taking part in local markets, craft and artisan shows and in 2016, joined TOSH as a resident artist.
Randy’s photography is described as “his interpretation of works of a true master… Mother Nature”. He firmly believes there are several tools involved in digital photography. Postprocessing software is one of those tools. Depending on the raw image and the desired output, its use could be a minor or major component. The camera is considered more important, in that it’s needed to capture the high quality raw material (image) you start with. Most important however, is the person behind the camera and in front of the computer, for imagination and skill.
We will be showing our Favourites from June, our field trip outing and the Lazy Hazy Days assignment.

Come and join with us as we find photographic treasures at Demxx on the Alberni Highway.
This month we are going to add to our usual photographic event by inviting you to take part in our scavenger hunt.
Each person will be given a list of items or item styles that they can go and look for on site and then take a photo of it as creative as you would like
You don’t have to take part in the scavenger hunt but I think it will add an extra fun twist to our day
Lunch will be at Trees Restaurant on the Alberni Highway (across from the Coop gas station) at noon
Demxx has asked that we don’t have an excessive amount of cars to leave room for customers as well as us. If you could car pool that would be great
Hope to see you all there
