Today the club got together for a photo scavenger hunt and a barbecue. We had a pretty good turn out with almost twenty members in attendance including Peter and Christine Finnie from Tottenham. Peter has become a good friend of the club since his speaking engagement with us in April.
I’d like to thank Lynn Reket for organizing the scavenger hunt and a big thanks to Maureen Elliott for hosting the gathering and BBQ where we presented and discussed the images we took in the “hunt”. And finally, thanks to Randy O’hara for taking charge of cooking the burgers and hot dogs, and to all those who brought salads, snacks and desserts to make the feast a delicious one.
The scavenger hunt was comprised of five categories: Depth of Field/Visual Mass, Negative Space, Rule of Thirds, Door, and Dot in Space. Each member submitted five images, one for each subject, and it as very interesting to see the various interpretations of these subject matters. The following are my (unedited, straight from the camera) selections for each category to give you an idea of how I interpret them:
Depth of Field/Visual Mass
Negative Space
Rule of Thirds
Door
Dot in Space
We have one meeting left for the 2013-2014 season where we’ll be sharing our four best photos from this season, plus there will be a “Swap Shop” where members can bring and photographic equipment we don’t want or need and maybe find that one piece of gear that we’ve been missing. That meeting is on June 10 and the public is certainly welcome.
Thanks,
Greg McMillan,
