A Special Guest in October

We have great news! Barrie photographer Don Komarechka is coming to our October meeting to do a presentation on his technique of capturing his incredible snowflake images. You won’t want to miss this one. Mark it on your calendar for October 8, 2013.

Don is working on a book that showcases his snowflake photography and currently is looking for funding to get the book to print. You can help by contributing to the cause. The more you contribute, the more you get for your money.

Some people have wondered how this funding works. For more information on that please visit the following link: http://bit.ly/J4cM4Y.

If Don’s book is ready on time he will have some copies with him in October, so if you don’t happen to join the campaign, you can pick one up at the meeting. Any more questions or concerns about the campaign can be left in the comments on this post or on our Facebook Page.

If you’re into podcasts, you can catch Don on This Week in Photo with Frederick Van Johnson. Now Don doesn’t appear on every episode but he is becoming a bit of a regular. You can watch TWiP at http://bit.ly/ZnWr4v and if you scroll through the episodes you will see the ones featuring Don.

Information about the Art Banner

We recently wrote a post about the 2013 Owen Sound Art Banners and there may be some confusion regarding the submission specifications.

Artists are to submit images that are “print ready” and are to be a maximum of 2000 pixels on the longest side. The confusion lies in the other important part of a digital image size, resolution, or pixels per inch (ppi). A print ready file will have a ppi resolution of at least 240, and some folks may like to increase that number to 300. To be sure your file is accepted for consideration by the committee, go with a resolution of 300 ppi.

If you’re a little unsure of how to size an image, be sure to take a look at our page on Re-sizing Images in the Tutorials section of the site.

Merry Christmas

Hello world! The club has been very overwhelmed over the years with the fact that we get visitors from virtually all over the globe to our little old website here in Owen Sound, Ontario. We would like to express our heartfelt thank you for all the views, comments and support. We truly love photography and we love sharing it with you just as much as we love to create it.

Soon another year will come to a close and a new year will begin. With new beginnings come new opportunities. We hope the new year brings you good health and prosperity and many new opportunities to capture this world through your lenses.

We here at the Owen Sound Camera Club would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe Holliday Season.
