“Shoot In”
The camera club organizes lots of shoot-outs like the Carp Fair and the Carleton University Butterfly exhibit in the fall. What the heck is a “shoot in”?
As part of the January 6th meeting we’ll be holding a “shoot in” consisting of 7 activities that will highlight:
- depth of field using aperture priority
- exposure compensation 1
- exposure compensation 2
- lighting
- shutter speed priority
- portrait
- challenge
You can see exactly what’s involved in each activity by clicking on the above links.
It will take place in the same room we meet. The purpose is to have fun, to experiment and to learn. It will be of benefit to the beginner and the expert. Each activity will be lead by an experienced club member.
Bring your camera and its manual.
Have fun!

Too bad they’re all news images and that no fine art images were included.
A not “Marg” Joke
Since there’s no meeting this month and you’re probably missing your joke from Marg, this short video is a joke to take its place.
Old Ottawa Pictures

Thanks for sharing Fraser.
Linify?
Just for fun, the Linify web site can turn normal images:
into a strange kind of line art:
Visit the web site to see several examples, click on their About link for more details on what it’s doing, upload a picture or two of your own to see how it works, and play with the settings and see what you can come up with.
Explore Your Camera Workshop
Many camera club members got together on January 13th and had a great time learning more about their cameras.
Under the guidance of Sue Carey, and with the assistance of members of the Camera Club Executive, topics included aperture priority, shutter priority, manual fixed focus, lighting, portraits, spot versus matrix metering, and exposure compensation.
More pictures of participants and some of their results are in this gallery. The handouts are here.
Special thanks to Sue Carey for coming up with the idea for the workshop and for making it happen.
Shoot People?
Fraser Campbell found this one for photographers who take themselves too seriously. You don’t have to buy the mug to appreciate the joke 🙂
Snowy Owl Traffic
As this story explains, Robert Poëti, the Quebec Transport Minister has figured out a new way to do wildlife photography – use a traffic cam!
Something Might Develop :-)
