The call for the submissions for the Owen Sound Art Banner Annual Exhibition has just gone up. The winners will have their work printed on a banner that will hang from lampposts around the harbour during the summer.

Cindie’s Work on Display

At the back entrance of Foto Art is the Full Spectrum Gallery, which features a rotating display of local photographers or camera clubs photos. Currently hanging for your viewing pleasure is club member Cindie Fearnall’s nature photography and some of her terrific pet portraits. Great skill coupled with the patience to use it on furry targets is evident in this work!

If you can’t make it to town don’t despair, you can find Cindie’s photographs online at www.photosbycindie.com or in the camera clubs Flickr group. Keep up the great work Cindie!

iPhone 4s vs. Canon 60D

Yesterday a few of us went out to the Indian River to practice our veiling technique. As you know the iPhone takes great pictures and with all the apps out there available for shooting and editing I thought I’d try a little test. Out of the two photos below, numbered in the bottom right corners, can you tell which one was taken with the iPhone and which one was taken with the 60D? Sound off in the comments.

Now I must confess, one of them was edited to try to match the correct crop, colour and brightness/contrast, but it really didn’t need a lot of work. I think there is still a distinct difference between the two, don’t you?
