Until the end of January, the KSCCC will be promoting the club and showcasing our work in the display case at the entrance to the Ottawa Public Library, Beaverbrook Branch. The theme is Winter – A great time to create pictures. Thanks to photographers Paula Brown, Debbie Pinard, Jane Phipps, Michelle Faber, Ted Timmons, and Catherine Easton for their contributions to the display. If you are heading to the Seniors Centre, pop by the Library and have a peek at the display.

Once again this year, the KSCCC will be promoting the club with
a display of our work in the display case at the entrance to the
Beaverbrook Library (next door), in January. The theme will again
be: “Winter: A great time to create pictures” To complete the
display, we are looking for three more pictures 8” x 10” inches in
size (landscape or portrait) and framed without matting in a fairly
plain black or silver frame. We would like one more winter scene
and two artistic post-processing pictures to complete the display.
Pictures will be considered in the order submitted. We will be
choosing a combination of pictures that complement each other,
and best promote the theme. To submit your picture for
consideration please send an electronic copy of it in an email to
contact@ksccc.ca , with the Subject line “Library display in
January“ and put Attention: Jan & Bruce Turner in the text.
To meet the January date, we need to receive your submissions
by the end of November. This will allow us time to select pictures
and notify participants so that they can print and frame their
pictures by mid-December.
We know there are lots of great pictures out there, so please take
a few minutes to consider helping the KSCCC promote the club.

As mentioned at the November club meeting, the KSCCC will be promoting the club with a display of our work in the display case at the entrance to the Beaverbrook Library (next door), in January. We are looking for a few (5 or 6) 8” x 10” framed pictures for the display. This article explains what kind of pictures are needed, and how members can participate. We don’t have a lot of time to get the display ready, so please have a read below and, if you can help, let us know as soon as possible.
The theme for the January display is: “Winter: A Great Time to Create Pictures”. The display will promote getting outside to take winter pictures, as well as being creative in taking pictures and post-processing of pictures, inside. We are looking for a couple of good outdoor winter pictures, a couple of good indoor compositions, as well as a couple of artistic post-processing examples. The pictures need to be 8” x 10” inches in size in landscape format, and framed without matting in a fairly plain black or silver frame.
We are looking for very good pictures, which KSCCC members are proud to display and which showcase the great work produced by the club. We encourage all KSCCC members to participate. Pictures will be considered in the order submitted. We will be choosing a combination of pictures that complement each other, and best promotes the theme. To submit your picture for consideration please send an electronic copy of it in an email to contact@ksccc.ca, with the Subject line “Library display in January“ and put Attention: Jan & Bruce Turner in the text.
To meet the January date, we need to receive your submissions as soon as possible and certainly by the end of November. This will allow us time to select pictures and notify participants so that they can print and frame their pictures by mid-December.
We know there are lots of great pictures out there, so please take a few minutes to consider helping the KSCCC promote the club.

Last fall some members of our Executive were provided an early tour of the Beaverbrook Library’s new Digitization Lab and were most impressed . The Kanata Library has the first such capability in the city of Ottawa.
The facility is now open for business and the library will be scheduling a special group tour for camera club members in the near future.
You may sign up for one of their monthly tours, by registering here.
In the meantime, you are welcome to start using the equipment in the lab by booking on their website.
At the Camera Club’s October 5th meeting Gillian Johnston introduced us to the Beaverbrook Library Digital Lab and said she’d follow up with an announcement when the lab was available for bookings.
Here’s her recent announcement:
I’m writing to let you know the Digital Lab at the Beaverbrook branch of the Ottawa Public Library is now open for booking. We mentioned this room during our last visit, or, you joined us for a tour. The room focuses on preserving and/or converting your memories.
We have more information on our website, including details about the equipment and bookings.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at this email.
You can see pictures of some of the gear available at the lab here.
A note of thanks to the following Kanata Seniors Centre Camera Club members for submitting some great photos for our October 2018 Library Showcase: Anne Walsh, Ian Buchanan, Qing Mao, and Georgia Dale Crichton.
I received a very nice email from the Library saying how beautiful they found the display.
This a great way to promote the club. Also it allows our members to see their photos out there for public viewing.
The display is at the inside entrance to the Beaverbrook Library in the Mlacak Centre and will be on view until October 15th.
The Camera Club will be providing a new display requiring about 5 photos (8 by 10 framed ) in October and June of each year .
The display will be available for viewing for a two week period each time. We encourage everyone to consider submitting for the June display . We’ll ensure that different members have a chance to display each time.
Of course , there is a on-going need for photos for display throughout the KSC and photos can be submitted to Sue Carey for that purpose.
Thanks to everyone for your recent library showcase submissions ,
Library Ed
Thanks to Ed Lascelle for organizing, to Anne Jones for helping with the setup and the props (lovely glass pedestals), for Sue Carey for loaning the great old cameras, and to all who contributed images. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough space to use them all.
The display will be there until Monday June 11th.
The club has been invited to provide a display for the fall (early Oct for 2 weeks).
The library is very pleased with the display . This is great exposure for the club..
The Beaverbrook Library Shootout on February 23rd was a great success. The album of member images is available here.
