Calgary Photographic Society

Calgary Photographic Society Members,

I hope you have had a great summer. Maybe not the best weather, but hopefully there were a lot of things to photograph and sharpen our skills.

Just a reminder, we will be meeting this Wednesday September 1st at our usual meeting room, KNB133 at the University of Calgary. The meeting starts at 7:30pm.

The presentation will be on putting together a slide show of your images.

Make sure you bring in your prints for the print competition. The theme for this month is High Key/Low Key. As always you can bring in 1 print for the theme and 1 print in the open category. You decide what level to enter your prints, novice, intermediate or advanced. I look forward to seeing those images that you took over the summer.

See you on Wednesday.

We will be meeting on July 7th @ 7pm at the Lougheed House (707 – 13 Ave. SW).  There is plenty of neat stuff to shoot in the house and gardens so bring your gear and be prepared to exercise those shutters!

Here is the update for our June 2nd meeting:

This Wednesday we want you to bring your cameras, flashes, reflectors and whatever you may need to go outside to photograph some models. This is your chance to practice some lighting and posing with both male and female models. In order to give us a little more time we will be starting the meeting at 7:00pm.

Make sure you bring in your prints for the print competition. The theme for this month is Reflections. As always you can bring in 1 print for the theme and 1 print in the open category. You decide what level to enter your prints, novice, intermediate or advanced. I look forward to seeing your photographic creations.

Meetings are held at the University of Calgary, in the Kinesiology “B” building . Our meeting room is KNB133.

See you there.

Special thanks:
The Lethbridge Camera Club invited us to come down and judge their print competition. I would like to thank Carla Fedje and Stephen Butt for joining me for the road trip to Lethbridge. We had a great time and our hosts were very gracious and appreciative of our efforts.

Calgary Photographic Society Members,

The May meeting we will have Shelley Vandervelde, MPA, coming to speak to us. Shelley is an award winning portrait photographer who has in a very short time acheived her Master of Photographic Arts through the Professional Photographers of Canada. You can see some of her work at her website.

You still have time to get out there if you haven’t already got your theme picture for the month of May. The theme was Photojournalism/Street photography.

As usual the meeting will be held at the University of Calgary room KNB129 starting at 7:30PM on Wednesday May 5th 2010.

The print competition themes for 2010 have been posted and are available here.
