46 members attended our March 12th meeting.
• Images from our February CCC Photo Challenge were reviewed, but unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, the final scores were not available.
• Our guest speaker this evening was former CCC member and long-time friend,
Chad Barry who presented The Telephoto Landscape – A Different Perspective.
Chad showed us how framing a shot with a telephoto lens can dramatically change the perspective of the photo. In his summary, he left us with these four important tips:
* Keep it simple
* Shoot vertical and horizontal
* Look for slopes, contrast and texture
* Try focal lengths outside of your favourite

• Our next meeting will feature our own Dave Noordhoff, who will speak to us about how to get the most out of our camera’s focus points.
• Wendy McDonald will be featured in What I Shoot.
• We will have our monthly Print Display Review, and invite everyone to bring in a print of any size, any subject for display and discussion.
• The results of our March Photo Challenge will be revealed, with the Novice group showing their Framed By Nature photos and the Intermediate, Advanced and Salon members showing their Interesting Furniture shots.
• Reminder: Photo Challenge pics for March 26th are to be submitted by midnight, Sunday March 17th
