The featured presenter at our December 6th meeting will be Henry Fernando speaking on “Contemplative Photography”.
From Henry’s website:
Henry Fernando is a photographer based in Ottawa, Canada. His two great passions in life are travel and photography. He believes that travel helps him discover a lot about himself. It provides him with a whole new perspective and understanding of this phenomenal world that we live in. Travel provides him not only with a sense of adventure, but it also opens doors to culture that do not revolve around fast food and social media.
Though originally trained in Biochemistry and later as an IT manager, he was always interested in photography. He experienced a renewed enthusiasm and appreciation for photography after taking a workshop in Contemplative Photography. The workshop opened his eyes to the rich and vivid colour and texture of the world around us.
Henry is trained in Contemplative Photography and studied Zen, Miksang, and Tao contemplative photography.
The featured speaker at our meeting on November 1st will be club member Manfred Mueller. His presentation will be on creativity.
Manfred Mueller
Manfred is an award-winning
Kanata based photographer. In addition
to being a member of the KSCCC executive, he is currently the Chair of the RA
Photo Club. He teaches at various Ottawa photo clubs and has been a guest
speaker at Ottawa’s La Cité Community College photography program for the past few
years.
He has studied
photography at Conestoga College in Kitchener, Algonquin College and the School
of Photographic Arts – Ottawa (SPAO). He is a member of Canadian Association for
Photographic Art (CAPA) and the Photographic Society of America (PSA). His work has been published in Canadian
Geographic and the Ottawa Business Journal.
Manfred is a photographic judge and has recently completed his national
level CAPA certification requirements.
As an avid travel photographer and has
visited almost 60 different countries, often in very remote or challenging
locations. When he is not on the road,
he shoots local landscapes, urban scenes and people. He works in the photo studio and uses studio
lighting during on-location shoots.
Manfred is a retired professional
engineer who spent several decades leading design teams in Canada and abroad. While most people will not see the work that
engineers, architects and industrial designers as art, creativity is a critical
factor in ensuring their projects are successful. In his talk will demonstrate how a workflow
that is commonly used by design professionals translates into successful
photographic projects. A project can be
as simple as a KSCCC Monthly Challenge to planning and executing a shoot in
challenging and exotic locations around the world.

Gordon Robertson is presenting on the Ottawa Field-Naturalists’ Club – Area Trails and Wildlife. Gordon is a retired professor from the University of Ottawa and now primarily does nature photography and wildlife tours. He chairs the Education and Publicity Committee of the Ottawa Field Naturalists’ Club and volunteers at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden (FWG). Gordon is also treasurer of the Ottawa Duck Club, which allows one access to the Shirley’s Bay Crown Game Preserve – an excellent and relatively undisturbed wildlife area. He frequently gives tours of the FWG and several other areas such as Petrie Island and Mer Bleue; so he is familiar with the many “wild” areas around Ottawa.
Gordon’s interests in wildlife vary considerably from butterflies and birds to wildflowers and ferns. He is also quite handy with analog and digital photography and digital photo editing. Many of his photos are used in textbooks and in Wikipedia (>1200) where he is a “Master Editor”.
