Calgary Photographic Society

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.

CPS President

    Hello fellow Calgary Photographic Society members. Here I go again as your president for the second time. I will strive to do my best this year and next.

    I would like to thank the past executive for the work they have put in this past year and thank the new executive for putting their names forward to keep the CPS running strong for another year.

    I have heard that the membership would like to get more educational value from our speakers. I will attempt to bring in speakers that have something to share, that we may all become better photographers. With that being said, I will be speaker this coming meeting on portable location lighting options. I will bring in a model and show some easy lighting set-ups and how I would process the files in Photoshop.

    I hope you can all make it to the meeting. See you there. As usual the meeting will be held at the University of Calgary room KNB129 starting at 7:30PM on Wednesday March 3rd 2010.
