Mother Nature is sending her apologies! The Full Moon Pinhey Sand Dunes Tour will be cancelled due to the weather. With Mother Natures’s Cooperation, the next Full Moon Pinhey Sand Dunes Tour will be the August Full Moon! Thank you so much for your interest and support!
Biodiversity Conservancy International are organizing a night tour at Pinhey Dunes. This might be a good opportunity for club members to get some interesting full moon images.
For more about Pinhey Dunes including images and maps, see these past posts.
As we announced at our meeting on June 7th, the monthly challenges for the 2019/2020 season are now posted here. All the super keen club members can get out there and start shooting now!
Most months members can submit 3 photos but for our Summer 2019 Challenge members can submit 4.
There are thousands of these and I would encourage you to do your own searches and look until you find a site where the tutorials and presentation are to your interests.
The Kanata Seniors Center Camera Club would like to thank the following members for their recent submissions:
Ian Buchanan
Karen Haddon
Mary Welsh
Doug McCrady
Manfred Mueller
Their photos were on display from May 11th for a 2 week period in the Library Showcase at the entrance to the Beaverbrook Library.
A special thank you to Marilyn Martin who helped with the Set Up (need that woman’s touch).
This is a great way to promote our club and we have a standing arrangement with the Library for a Spring and Fall Display.
We encourage you to consider submitting your photos (framed, no larger than 10 by 12 please) for the October 2019 Fall Display. A sign up sheet will be available at the September meeting.
The next Camera Club meeting will be held on Friday, June 7th at 9:15 a.m.

If you are interested in the “critters” that Dr. Pete Dang introduced us to at the Pinhey Sand dunes in 2017, his organization — Biodiversity Conservancy International — is hosting a free one day seminar titled:
Insects, An Indispensable Component Of Life On Earth
It takes place on 1-5 PM, Saturday May 4th at the Central Experimental Farm. For more details, refer to the event poster.
If you want to find out what this blog post title is all about you’ll have to come and hear Robin Andrew, the featured speaker at our meeting on May 3rd. She titled her presentation:
Naked Santas and Pillow Fights My journey from engineer to owner of a photography company
Robin left a career as an electrical engineer to start Unposed photography in 2006. Her unique, fun, high energy approach to photography has resulted in Unposed growing to a team of 8 providing family, commercial and event photography in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and even internationally.
