Welcome to the 2021/22 Season of the KSCCC

As hot, humid days of August make way for hopefully cooler days of September, the Kanata Seniors’ Centre Camera Club (KSCCC) is busy getting organized for our 2021/22 season.

With the ongoing restrictions concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be meeting virtually for the foreseeable future. We hope that as soon as it is safe to do so, we will reconvene our in-person meetings.

Our upcoming season promises to be interesting for all our Club members, with presentations by a range of external speakers and Club members, monthly photo challenges, special photographic topics and plenty of opportunities to share our experiences, as well as learn and practice new photographic and photo editing techniques.

Here are some details for our first meeting of the new season:

Date and Time: Friday, September 10th, 2021 at 9:15 a.m.
Venue: Virtual using the Google Meet platform
Presenter: Javier Frutos, Creative Director, Photographer and Photo Editor at Canadian Geographic & The Royal Canadian Geographical Society

Don’t forget to send in your photos for the KSCCC Summer Challenge “Canada, eh!”.  Your submissions are due by noon, September 3rd, 2021.

Additional details of the meeting on September 10th will be sent out shortly.

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.
