Our speaker this month is Kerry Dawson, a Comox based teacher and photographer – https://www.kerrydawsonphoto.com/ Kerry’s presentation is entitled, “The Importance of Creative Personal Projects in Photography”.
A quote from Kerry’s webiste – “My first love is nature, landscape and wildlife photography. I love to capture the beauty of the world around me. More recently I’ve become interested in creating creative portraits and composite works by combining images using photoshop. I’m always learning new things”

The club picnic is an old tradition being revived after an absence of many years. This should be a fun event scheduled for Wednesday July 27 at the number 2 Picnic shelter in Rathtrevor Provincial Park.
Bring a chair drink and your lunch. The highlight of the picnic will be a photographic scavenger hunt. This event is outside and should be save from Covid.
Number 2 shelter should be marked as “Oceanside Photographers” or it may be in my name “Roderick (Rick) Horte” We will attempt to put up club signs to mark the way.
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
