What we have
Macro in Nature
Get out, get close up and personal. Have fun. Hopefully the weather is better but there are numerous topics even in or because of the snow.
Due date for uploading the March assignment will be March 25th. Voting will be March 26th to 31
Get to Know Your Camera
If you are well-versed in your model of camera, please consider volunteering to help on March 21st for the Education meeting. Vivian will be moderating an evening of learning about your cameras and will NEED to have people to help beginners or others just wanting information about the operation of their camera model.
Remember to vote on the current assignment
‘Action’
Have fun finding people, objects, animals, birds, boats or whatever else that shows action.
When you go to enter your images, you will see a change in the naming of one of the categories. We have replaced the word “Digital” with “Creative” and feel that this will be less confusing.
Due date for uploading the April assignment will be April 24th. Voting will be April 25th to April 29th.
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.
