March 3rd Meeting

Tonight’s meeting will go ahead as planned. I know the weather and road conditions may be less than favourable tonight so if you are from outside the city of Owen Sound please be careful. If you’re not sure about the conditions, by all means, do not risk driving in. We do not want anyone to put themselves or others in danger. Thank you.

Beginner Photography Lecture Series

In partnership with the Owen Sound Public Library, two of our members (Greg McMillan and Brian Robin) will be presenting a series of talks aimed at beginner photo-enthusiasts. There will be four classes spaced from March 23rd to April 20th aiming to touch on technical and artistic basics, leading into a couple of popular photographic genres.

There are a few more details in the poster below and we’ll post more information on the classes as the dates approach. These classes are FREE and open to everyone, but be sure to preregister with Carolin (cbrooks@owensound.library.on.ca).

Hope to see you there!

2015 Owen Sound Art Banners – Call for Artists

The Owen Sound Art Banner Project is seeking submissions for 2015. Selected entrees will be printed on banners that hang along the harbour during the summer. It’s a great way to get you work out in the public and a fun project that decorates the city and celebrates the diverse range of artists in the area.

Check out the Art Banner website for more information, including submission guidelines and overall rules. While you’re there, be sure to browse through the 2014 Banners and the 2013 Banners. You’ll find a few representatives from the Camera Club from both years!

A Message rom the President

It’s that time of year again when we get together with friends, family and co-workers to celebrate this holiday season. It’s a time of rest, joy and reflection on the past year, a time of new beginnings and opportunities, and a time of peace.
On behalf of the Owen Sound Camera Club, I wish you all Happy Hanukkah, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noel and a Merry Christmas in whatever your native tongue may be. Stay safe for the holidays, and don’t forget to take some pictures to capture those precious moments.

The December Theme – Coffee

We had another great showing for out December Theme. Coffee, the world’s most popular beverage. This month we explore the members’ interpretation of the word “coffee”, with a little extra technical instruction thrown into the assignment. The idea was to shoot the two different photos at two very different apertures to see what effect aperture has on an image. The two images did not have to be the same, although some were, but just utilize two different aperture settings to suit the image or scene.

Here’s the video showcasing the photos.
