What we have
We are participating again this year. Upload your best image, pay close attention to the rules. Voting will be open until early November and you will be permitted to vote for your own image. There may be some additional judging to choose the top 8 images.
The categories are:
- – Birds
- – Mammals
- – General (not 1 or 2)
Look through your shots and be certain there is no ‘hand of man’ in the image. Images have a maximum width of 1400 pixels and maximum height of 1050 pixels. Images have to be uploaded by October 17th.

Every photograph tells a story; capturing a moment in time in order to preserve and honour it. A photograph can be a tangible connection to our past, to our family, and to our own unique experience. Dirk Heydemann, our November speaker, is a successful Nanaimo based photographer who specializes in family and corporate photography.
His talk will be going over his family portrait business, from planning, consolations, shooting and presentations and pricing of the art work that is created. Since he took on this approach to his family portrait sessions, his sales had substantial increases in value.
We will be showing our Favourites from October, our field trip outing to Stamp Falls and the “Anything Orange” assignment.
