Gallery Opening a Success!

On Sunday, May 15 the Owen Sound Camera Club officially opened their photo exhibition at the Tom Thomson Memorial Art Gallery. And what a successful opening it was!

This was the first ever gallery event for most, if not all of the 30-pGallery Openinglus members who submitted an image for the display. Members in attendance have been quite happy to hear all the positive feedback from family and friends who stopped by to show their support of this great club.

The display included a wide variety of image styles that really shows how diverse the club is. And the photos were created with camera makes and styles ranging from professional grade DSLRs from manufacturers like Nikon, Canon and Sony right down to an iPhone.

All the hard work by club President Randy O’Hara and anyone who gave a helping hand in making this event happen has certainly paid off. The exhibit will be on display until May 28 so if you haven’t been to The Tom to see these great photos, head on down and have a look. And feel free to leave some comments via the Contact page to tell us what you thought of the display. You can also leave some comments on the Facebook Page or on Twitter. We’d love to hear from you.

Photo Walk

On August 14, the camera club held a photo walk, or what was intended to be a photo walk. The premise of a photo walk is to stroll along and shoot photos of whatever catches your eye, and the idea is not to stop for any longer than the time it takes to snap the picture. Photo walks are usually enjoyed by groups of people. This wasn’t the case for ours.

The weather was not the best for enjoying a nice walk, but fortunately for the four of us who did show up, the shooting conditions were quite good. It was an overcast day that provided for nice, even light, so harsh contrast wasn’t a concern. Of those in attendance, three were club members.
