What we have
We are participating again this year and we’re taking a slightly different approach. You’ll be able to upload 3 images in any of the categories. Also, voting will be open until early November and you will be permitted to vote for your own image. Since only one image per member may be submitted, there will be some additional judging to choose the top 8 images.
As a club we did well in 2016 and placed third in mammals. We’ll try to do better this year.
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 21st.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MEETING IS ON NOVEMBER 8th!
Our speaker for November is Gordon Howe. His presentation is “From Sea to Sky- A natural history journey from British Columbia to the high deserts of the American southwest.”
Gordon is a prize-winning photographer who has lived all over British Columbia. He currently resides near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
He attended the School of Modern Photography and has worked professionally as a Portrait and Wedding Photographer. Throughout his life Gordon has always had a camera in hand but his love of photography was shared with a love of horticulture and landscape design. Both of these disciplines share a need for a comprehensive understanding of light, colour and composition. Training in both fields has served to complement each other.
We will be showing our Favourites from October, our field trip outing to the Raptor Centre and the Fall Colours assignment
