The Kanata Seniors’ Centre Camera Club (KSCCC) normally meets once a month at the Kanata Seniors’ Centre in Kanata, Ontario. To find out more about the club and how to join click on About Us.
During COVID the Seniors’ Centre is closed so we meet online using Google Meet. Links to each meeting are posted here a day in advance of the meeting.
Do you think you could be a featured presenter at one of our camera club meetings? Do you know anyone who might like to volunteer to present at one of our meetings?
At this time every year, the Executive of the Kanata Seniors’ Centre Camera Club looks for presenters for Member Meetings for the following year. It gets more difficult each year to find speakers who wish to volunteer their time to speak to our camera club. As we try to put together a series of interesting and educational club meetings, we are always on the lookout for new materials and presenters.
If you know of someone, or if you would do a presentation yourself, please forward an email to contact@ksccc.ca with details.
Thank you for your assistance
KSCCC Executive

At the March Camera Club meeting, we introduced a new approach for the Fix my Pic feature of the club meetings – one where members would submit a before and after of one of their images and provide a verbal explanation at the meeting of what steps they had taken to complete their project.
Email your before and after images to contact@ksccc.ca. Rename images to Fix My Pic1 your name.jpg and Fix My Pic2 your name.jpg. Include a description of what you did to change the image.
All submissions must be emailed no later than noon on Friday, April 30th to be presented at the May 7th meeting.

At the end of this article, Audubon states: William H. Majoros has been studying birds and bird behavior for more than 20 years. This article is adapted from his online reference guide, Secrets of Digital Bird Photography: Tools and Techniques.

Meting date was corrected from April 2 to April 9.
Stephen J. Stephen will be presenting “The Wildlife of Ottawa”, an overview of the wonderful and varied natural subjects that can be found in the greater capital region at our meeting on April 9th at 9:15 a.m.
Stephen graduated with a B.Sc from the University of New Brunswick and, after working for a couple of years, obtained his M.Sc. from Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Stephen had been doing 35mm film photography for many years when he moved to digital photography in 2005. He has since focussed his photographic efforts on wildlife with birds being his main subjects. His knowledge of his subjects allows him to capture and share some of nature’s beauty and behaviour through his images.
