What we have
Surprise 2
The Education meeting next week will include the following.
- Looking at pictures taken after our last meeting when we did our poster boards of favourite pictures from magazines. Don’t forget to upload them before Tuesday or bring them on a memory stick.
- Other question and answers that anyone may have and then Jack will give us a quick tour of the new web site so we can be au fait with the workings of it.
- A fun project so remember to bring your cameras and tripods if you have them – not totally necessary as we managed without – a close lens is good and a macro one works well but we used a general lens to allow to get further away from the subject. The picture included will give you some idea of what we are going to do. It is great fun and we will have 3 tables set up.
- We will also discuss the SIGs.
Hope to see lots of you there.
Cheers Libby

The Victoria Society for Photo Based Art invites photographers and artists to submit works for “Distinctly Digital 2013” a juried digital arts exhibit that will celebrate digital art. Work selected by our expert international jurors as finalists will be showcased at Coast Collective Art Centre May 3 – May 12, 2013. Deadline for submission is March 15, 2013. Please visit the Distinctly Digital 2013 website for more details
The assignment for March is White. White on white, something white or something in the snow. It’s a challenge to shoot white!
Here’s a few sites with suggestions:
Our general meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm. We normally conduct the club’s business, then review the slideshows from the previous month’s assignment, field trip and favourite shot of the month. The last half of the meeting is dedicated to having a speaker come and make a presentation or discuss some aspects of their photography
Boomer Jerritt is returning to talk to us about Urban Landscape and possibly toss in a few other details. Many of our members still talk about the wonderful presentation he did on night photography two years ago. You should visit his website at Strathcona Photography
We will also present the results of the architecture assignment and of our field trip to Mt. Washington.
A follow-up from Boomer was received with photos from his presentation. He mentioned the four points that he considers before hitting the shutter.
- What am I photographing? Slows me down to think
- How am I using effective Visual Design to communicate my message?
- What are my technical considerations and am I using them to my best advantage?
- What have I screwed up?
Nanaimo seawall — a pedestrian walkway that winds along the waterfront from Cameron Island to the Nanaimo Yacht Club. Visitors especially enjoy the section of the seawall near the Bastion, where craft shops and restaurants dot the path.
The path continues to Swy-a-lana lagoon, and Maffeo-Sutton Park (behind the Civic Arena). It then continues along the water front and crosses over the Millstone River. A very pleasant walk any time of the year. Especially nice in the evenings of summer.
