Light and shadows in any form and any source of light.

Note: we are voting on the assignment images again. Many members have requested that we re-start voting again, so we will try it. The reason we stopped voting was to determine if this affected the member of members participating in the assignments. Some members dropped out and others began participating.

So, participate.

This is new for the club, as most members are retired, we are meeting on a Wednesday at 10am in Parksville Community Park. Open spaces, no enclosed areas and lots of activity. At present Chesipeek Shores is filming and most of their equipment is being stored behind the curling rink with lots of filming crew activity. Or you may see the ball players or Tia Chi practitioners or skateboarders.  Enjoy yourselves.

Remember the the health guidelines and safety protocols.

This is an interesting  Field Trip that Gail and Lynn have organized for June. We are touring around Qualicum Beach village on a Sunday evening at 7 pm, meeting at TOSH. Local and familiar, doesn’t get any better. See you there.

Symmetry in photography is achieved when two halves of an image hold the same weight and give a perfect balance between two sides of your photograph.

Here is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the beach midweek. Hopefully not too congested.  Wednesday 14 July at 10:00 meeting around the coffee hut on the Beach. There are many opportunities to to shoot a variety of subjects from the seascapes to portraits or street photography.   People, cars motorcycles and boats in abundance, use your imagination.

Here’s a wonderful opportunity to participate in a walk or hike while photographing great vistas. Your choice of seascapes, forests or beaches. There may be some opportunities to do a little street photography. Either way we certain you’ll enjoy yourself.

Traditionally, the club has organized a group lunch after the Field Trip. During the pandemic most cafes and restaurants are reluctant to accept a large group, HOWEVER, there’s nothing to prevent you and your friends from going to lunch in a small group. Keep in mind new members and introduce yourselves. who knows you may make a new friend.

Submission deadline for your images is August 31.

Our field trip this month is to Schooner Cove.  Details to follow

Submission deadline for your images is May 27
