• 40 members, including 1 new one, attended our February 11th meeting.
• President Jim Pollock introduced our guest speaker, Juraj Dolanjski.
Juraj’s topic this evening was Designing A Photograph, in which he explained that successful photos are not accidents. There is a creative process that is used in the design of such a photograph, in camera. Careful planning, proper exposure, interesting framing and even the weather, all play a vital role in the success or failure of a photograph. The Chatham Camera Club would like to thank Juraj for making the trip from Ancaster to Chatham. Several of our members commented on how much they learned from his presentation.
• Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 25th when we’ll have some fun with our Do It Yourself Show And Tell, where we’ll have several of our members show us their home made flash modifiers and other gadgets and gizmos that can improve our photos and save us money. If you have something that you’ve made or a quick tip you’d like to share, let us know before the meeting and we’ll fit you in. After the presentation, we will have some time to try out some home made flash modifiers, so bring your camera and a flash to the meeting. If you do not have a flash, we’ll have a couple that you can borrow.
• Patty Arsenault will be our featured presenter in What I Shoot.
• We are asking everyone to bring in a favourite print for display and discussion. Any size or subject matter will do. If you show me yours, I’ll show you mine.
