March Assignment Light and Shadows
Mar 2 @ 9:10 pm – Mar 24 @ 10:10 pm

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.

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.
