Kanata’s Beaver Pond II

Phil Tughan was inspired by Javier’s recommendation to shoot at Kanata’s Beaver Pond and reports:

To add to the info on the Beaver Pond, go to the pond by going to the end of Walden Drive at the east end of the pond. The parking lot is completely closed, but you can easily park on the road. The best photography is along the paved walkway along the south side and at the east end of the pond. The western half is marsh and not accessible.

Beaver Pond Blue Herons by Phil Tughan

I have attached some Blue Heron photos that I took early in the morning after Javier’s great presentation. These were taken at the east end of the pond at the water’s edge. 

Thanks for sharing Phil

Kanata’s Beaver Pond

In Javier’s excellent presentation last week he featured Kanata’s Beaver Pond.

In case club members don’t know, it’s located here. We’re not sure about the status of the parking lot at the east end.

This map details some of the walking trails in the area.

The images at the top of this post were submitted by club members for our November 2013 monthly asignment. To see more, go here.

2021 Spring Photo Challenge Results

Spring stars – Bloodroot by Ann Williams

Members of the KSCCC had a successful year with the 2021 Spring Photo Challenge. This year we challenged ourselves to create a photographic project focused on “Spring: A time of New Beginnings”. Each photographer submitted a short portfolio of 4-6 images. A total of 12 photographers submitted approximately 70 photographs on topics ranging from Canada geese keeping a close watch on their newborn goslings to spring flowers and landscapes. Congratulations to all photographers!

Here’s slideshow of the photographic projects:

The galleries of all photographs are here.

iPhone Camera Apps

This article The Best iPhone Camera Apps of 2021 from the PetaPixel blog details 7 of the best photography apps in the following categories:

  • Professional iPhone Camera App
  • All-in-One iPhone Camera App
  • Free iPhone Camera App
  • iPhone Camera App for Filters
  • iPhone Photo Editing App
  • iPhone Accessory App for Stills and Video
  • iPhone Camera App for Filmmaking

Club member Anne Jones agrees that these are all useful apps but says:

I have looked up each of the apps in the App Store. It’s not a pretty picture. Almost all the reviews are poor, not because of the app itself but because of the ever increasing Subscription model. This is what I have found also. I guess this is why I go less and less to the outside apps. You are either constantly bothered with ads or features won’t work unless you PAY UP!!
