Our speakers this month are new members Gillian (Gill) and Clay Ross who moved to the Island from Calgary this year.  They are originally from South Africa and have travelled extensively.  They have done a great deal of photography and enjoy talking about their travels.  Their presentation will have two components, the main portion is about travels in the southern area of South Africa while a second part will be about rodeos.  The Coombs Rodeo is coming here in August so they will have some tips for us.

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

Reminder 1 – we will be asking for your ‘Best of the Year’ photos later in the Fall

Reminder 2 – we will be entering the Lions’s Gate Nature Competition in the Fall

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.
