Fix my Pic

At the March Camera Club meeting, we introduced a new approach for the Fix my Pic feature of the club meetings – one where members would submit a before and after of one of their images and provide a verbal explanation at the meeting of what steps they had taken to complete their project.

Email your before and after images to contact@ksccc.ca. Rename images to Fix My Pic1 your name.jpg and Fix My Pic2 your name.jpg. Include a description of what you did to change the image.

All submissions must be emailed no later than noon on Friday, April 30th to be presented at the May 7th meeting.

Stephen J. Stephen Presenting in April

Meting date was corrected from April 2 to April 9.

Stephen by Jim Cumming

Stephen J. Stephen will be presenting “The Wildlife of Ottawa”, an overview of the wonderful and varied natural subjects that can be found in the greater capital region at our meeting on April 9th at 9:15 a.m.

Stephen graduated with a B.Sc from the University of New Brunswick and, after working for a couple of years, obtained his M.Sc. from Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Stephen had been doing 35mm film photography for many years when he moved to digital photography in 2005. He has since focussed his photographic efforts on wildlife with birds being his main subjects.  His knowledge of his subjects allows him to capture and share some of nature’s beauty and behaviour through his images.

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.
