The Chatham Camera club welcomed two new members and one guest.

In our first Improve My Image segment, four of our members were asked to try their hand at improving a couple of images and each came up with different slant using a variety of techniques. Lorie Cooper, Larry Kearns, Margaret Manson and David Summerfield took turns showing how they went about improving a pre-determined shot using their favourite photo editing software. Some of the methods used were cropping, lightening, increasing contrast, cloning out distractions, converting to black and white and flipping a shot horizontally. Thanks to all four for their time and talents and for showing us how some simple editing can greatly improve a basic image.

Print manager Les McCracken reviewed the prints that we brought in and encouraged everyone to participate in our monthly Print Display, no matter what size prints you have.

Martha Gillier was featured in this month’s What’s In My Camera Bag demonstration, showing The Club her amazing collection of fine photo equipment. Thanks for the well organized display Martha!

Butch Dompierre showed The CCC What I Shoot with his slide show of beautiful photographs. His eclectic display showed impressive results in a wide variety of photo topics, giving members of all levels something to aspire to. Well done Butch.
