April 2023 Meeting
Apr 5 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Our speaker this month is Ron Brandner a member of the Port Alberni photo club.  The purpose of his talk is to discuss how the hobby of photography has enhanced both his physical and mental health. As a senior, health issues are becoming more and more prevalent and he is finding photography is becoming more of a medication than a hobby.
He has been making images for over 60 years and over that period has garnered a lot of useful information from a great number of sources that have helped him adjust his practice of photography to suit his changing needs.
He is grateful to those who have shared their wisdom with him and has compiled a list of the more important ideas.  Hopefully there will be some that will be of benefit to Oceanside photographers.

We will be showing our slideshows from last month’s assignment, the favourites and the field trip.

Ryan Tidman

After finishing school in 2017, Ryan spent over three years working with National Geographic photographers Paul Nicklen and Cristina Mittermeier and their ocean conservation non-profit, SeaLegacy. During his time with SeaLegacy, he developed a deep understanding of documenting the natural world, sharing conservation issues, and, most importantly, conveying science communication effectively through photography and film. Fortunately, as part of the expedition team, he had the opportunity to travel the world documenting ongoing conservation efforts.

Since 2020, he has split his time between photography and cinematography. He recently completed projects in our Great Bear Rain Forest and also in the Antarctic.
