Video for May Meeting
Ramin Izadpanah will be presenting Confessions of a Photographer at our May meeting. Prior to the meeting you may wish to view the following video by Ansel Adams, Master Photographer.
Although the video was made in 1983 it’s interesting to see how enthusiastic Adams was about the potential for digital photography.
Wildlife of Ottawa
Ottawa is blessed with a wide variety of habitats and natural and man-made environments. You can find wetlands, rivers, lakes, ponds, forests and farm land. This allows many species of wildlife to abound here.
Links from March 5th Meeting
In Manfred’s presentation he mentioned this paper on Evaluating the Rule of Thirds in Photographs and Paintings.
Sue Carey sent along this excerpt from Freeman Patterson’s newsletter:
I’d also like to draw your attention to www.earthisourwitness.com, produced by Parimal Deshpande and hosted by him and the internationally-renowned photographer, Art Wolfe, both from Seattle. This is a series of stimulating conversations with photographers from around the world, selected by Art and centred on some of their images. The series is a work-in-progress; you can view those already filmed and there are more to come. Don’t miss the compelling conversation with Wade Davis, the Canadian anthropologist and photographer, who was explorer-in-residence at National Geographic for several years. (My conversation on SYMBOLS and MEANING will be recorded March 2. View live on http://www.facebook.com/earthisourwitness, on http://www.instagram.com/earthisourwitness, and live or for up to a year on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EARTHISOURWITNESS.)
Composition Tips
We are lucky to have photography as our hobby. During this difficult time we still can use our cameras to express ourselves by capturing images we see in our minds. Composition plays a big role in making our photos most appealing. This video gives a great summary of some major composition forms. May you enjoy it as I do. Be safe.

While Walking Though Beaverbrook
On our daily walks in our neighbourhood , we find stones some residents painted and distributed along paths…
… to thank health care workers …
… to cheer you up …
… to make sure you do not feel alone …
… to make you feel strong …
… to make you happy.

The most beautiful spring garden in the world!
For the first time since opening in 1950, the famous Keukenhof flower garden, whose 7 million bulbs attract about 1.5 million visitors from all over world each year, is closed due to the Covid19 pandemic. Fortunately Albert Dros, a Dutch photographer was able to gain access to the garden and spent a day capturing these images of the beautiful flower fields, without people.

I Thought Macro Photography Would Be Easy
While we’re all cooped up at home, we might want to try some macro photography.
