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.

If you couldn’t make it in June, be sure to join us on July 10th for an evening at Rondeau Park, hosted by Lorie Cooper at her cottage.
