Our October 27th ZOOM meeting was another success thanks to our guest speaker Russ Chantler, who provided us with Tips On Bird Photography. Mr. Chantler’s presentation showed many fine examples of his excellent work along with explanations of what equipment he uses and how to find and approach your subjects. His advice for photographing birds was to remember the three Ps: Preparation, Persistence and Patience. The Chatham Camera Club thanks Russ for his time, his photo tips and his slideshow.

Martha Gillier was our featured photographer in What I Shoot, where she showed her travel photos from Europe and Cambodia. Thanks Martha! We now have an insight as to what it would be like to travel to these exciting locations. If anyone missed it or would like to see it again, here is the link to : Martha’s slide show

Competition Manager Jana Smith showed us the results from our October Photo Challenge where we saw several wonderful images. High marks went to Kim Charron (25 pts), Keith Blackwell (24 and 24.5 pts), Jeff McDonald ( 23.5 pts) and Jim Pollock (24 pts). You can view the top scoring shots on our
Club Photos page.

Our next ZOOM meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 10th when Antony Chodus from Canada Camera will be on hand to discuss What’s New In The Camera World. Antony’s presentations are always thoughtful and entertaining, so if you have any questions regarding mirrorless cameras, lenses, lighting or anything else related to photography, be sure to join us.

A lot of photographers think that if they buy a better camera they’ll be able to take better photographs. A better camera won’t do a thing for you if you don’t have anything in your head or in your heart.
