More recently I’ve become interested in creating creative portraits and composite works by combining images using photoshop. I’m always learning new things”

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.
