Vice President Vince Gagnier welcomed over 50 members and guests to our first meeting in our 77th season. Margaret Chrysler presented a 2 part travel show on Vietnam, Cambodia-Angkor and Hong Kong with her usual thorough and interesting informative dialogue. Thanks Margaret.

Larry Kearns did a segment on “What’s In My Bag” concentrating on his lenses giving examples on where to use the various ones.

We had Judging and selections for an upcoming CAPA competition. The entries selected for “Nature” were submitted by Les McCracken, Jim Pollock, Vince Gagnier, Martha Gillier, Laird VanderEnde and Paul Schmoldt. In the “Open” category the top scoring images were entered by Jim Pollock, Martha Gillier, Gavin Stuart, Larry Kearns, Butch Dompierre and Paul Schmoldt. Congratulations all.

Everyone enjoyed the improved image quality thanks to the purchase of a new professional projector with increased resolution and a new 10 foot screen. Please see “Meeting Schedule” for our next meeting and future workshops and presentations.

Our featured photographer is Melanie Denis.
Her infectious smile and upbeat attitude have made Melanie many new friends in The Chatham Camera Club. Since joining us a year ago, she has made great strides in her photographic abilities and has shown an exceptional gift for composition, as can be seen on our Photo In Focus page.

MEMBERSHIP FEES OF $40,- FOR THE YEAR ARE DUE @ SEPTEMBER 18TH MEETING.
Due to ever rising operating costs, insurance and guest speakers mainly being the culprits, it has been necessary to increase our yearly dues. Keep in mind that it is still less than $2.25 per meeting and covers ALL meetings including Workshops.

The 2012 / 2013 meeting schedule has now been updated with workshops, competition categories, presentation topics and guest speakers.

Our featured photographer Larry Kearns.

Larry’s keen eye for composition and his excellent post processing skills have resulted in some of The Club’s most fascinating photos. Last season, Larry was presented with a CAPA Certificate Of Merit for his submission in the Interior Architecture category. His enthusiasm and willingness to share his knowledge make him a valuable and popular member of The Chatham Camera Club. You can see some of Larry’s work on our Photo In Focus page.

Our featured photographer is Cathy Dent. Cathy is a very talented artist who enjoys water color, ink and pencil art. She is now using her creative ability to expand her photographic skills and has produced some wonderful images. Have a brief look at some of her work in our Photo In Focus page.

Our June 5th Walkabout at Maple Leaf Cemetery was a great success with a large turn out of members and guests taking part. You can see some of the evening’s photos on our Club Photos page.
