October 23 2018

57 members and 3 guests attended our October 23rd meeting.

• Club members watched a video tutorial by Phil Steele about choosing and using a tri-pod. We also reviewed some of the ones that some of our members brought in, discussing what we like and don’t like about each one. Thanks to Tere Deslippe for arranging this lesson and to all of those who brought in their tri-pods.
You can review the tri-pod video below.

• Bill Henry was featured in our What I Shoot segment, where he showed us an impressive collection of nature, scenic and travel photos. Thanks Bill. We all enjoyed your show.

• Entries from our first CCC Photo Challenge of the season were reviewed, with Kathy Burke (24 pts), Debbie Venne (23 pts), Julie Fass (22.5 pts) and Jeff Dease (22.5 pts), getting top marks for the Novice Division’s Open, Black And White category. High scores in the Intermediate, Senior and Salon groups went to Martha Gillier and Mary Craig, both with two scores of 22.5. Congratulations to all who entered as we saw many excellent images.

• Mike Blazek and Keith Blackwell reviewed some of the fine prints that were brought in for display with several positive comments being made. Our next print display will be held on November 27th and we would love to see one of your favourite prints, any size, any subject.

• Our next meeting will feature our friend Anthony Chodus from Camera Canada in London, who will speak to us about Mirrorless Cameras, Lenses, Drones, and upcoming specials.

Reminder: The Chatham Camera Club meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. Therefore our next meeting will be in three weeks, on November 13th.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but that doesn’t keep it from being a thousand words of nonsense.
