What we have going on…

September is much like the start of a new year and we’re preparing for our new year. Richard is leading a discussion for everyone
Discussion Points
1. We have no Director of Exhibits. Does this mean Society members do not see the value in exhibiting work in the community? If so how should we promote our work in the community?
2. Online presence for selling photographs. Explore club options. Smugmug etc.
3. Photography competitions – club and open competitions like Lions Gate.
4. Use of technology for exhibiting photography. Liaise with Shaw cable and Lefty’s etc. to show images through their facilities.
5. Should we have a Director of Communications / Public Relations? Is someone willing to step forward?
Lions Gate Nature Competition
Jack will take us through the new approach that we’re following for our participation in the club this year.
Interclub Photo Competition
Jack will introduce selected aspects of an invitational photo competition to be held early in the new year. The theme, categories and judging aspects are all open for discussion. Assistance with the planning activities is needed.
Following the coffee break, we will be showing the Lions Gate 2016 show.

Our speaker this month is portrait photographer Lisa Graham. Her interest in fashion and lifestyle photography on land slipped into the underwater realm where few photographers venture. She specializes in the niche market of underwater fine art portraits and she loves how water adds a surreal touch to everyday elements
Lisa is going to share her some images from her “Impossible Worlds” collection and talk about some of the aspects of an underwater photo shoot.
You can check Lisa’s website on this link
We will be showing our Favourites from September, our field trip outing and the Inspirational assignment

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
