I accidentally scheduled this post a week early and “leaked” Ed’s great images. Apologies to Ed.

Ed Luinstra will be presenting on Macro Photography on Friday, April 14th.
Ed is a recent transplant from Calgary and arrived here in Kanata a year and a half ago. This is his first year in the Kanata Seniors Centre Camera Club. He is having a great time meeting new people and photographically exploring his new surroundings.
Ed has been doing photography since his teen years. He is of a technical bent and spent many hours in the darkroom back in the film days. He enjoys shooting landscapes, people, abstracts and many other subjects. In the last few years, he has concentrated on nature subjects, especially birds and anything else he comes across in the wilds. Some years ago, Ed became interested in macro photography, something that appealed to his technical side. He spends many summer days prowling in weedy fields looking for bugs to photograph.
There is a free photographic exhibition at the ‘Galerie Montcalm’ in Gatineau. This exhibition is based on RENKU, a collective poetic form. This exhibition comprises 54 photos.
The images are on display from March 16th, the date of the vernissage, to April 30th.
