Parkland Photo Club met in the Doghide Gallery in
Tisdale on Tuesday, October 28. President Anne McIntosh
welcomed everyone especially guest Wendy Debrowka and two new
members Steve and Julie Page of Hudson
Bay. We hope that you enjoy your time with us and participate
in our varied activities.
Some time was spent discussing our Shutterbug Show - a display
of our photos in the Doghide Gallery. Much appreciation goes to
Sandra Dancey for all the things she did to make this
successful. We shared ideas of what might make the show even
more successful if we tried this again in a few years. It was
interesting to note that
we had at least two photos from each of our fifteen members. You can't
beat 100% participation! We were
pleased with the variety of subject matter of the photos and we
feel that there is something there for every
taste. The photos will remain on display until November 6 so if
you haven't yet done so, we invite you to drop
in and have a look!
Ten members submitted images for the Foto Fun Competition hosted
by the Gleneath Camera Club of Kindersley. If we submit five or
more images from our club, then the club gets to participate in
the judging of all the images in the competition. We look
forward to receiving these sometime in the coming months.
Photos or digital images were given to Alan Caithcart to
assemble into a slide show which will be taken to the
senior residences in town in January and/or February when it is
more difficult for these people to get out and
about. Our theme shoot competition for this month was "Still
Life". Following the judging of the nine entries,
Hannah Anderson's "Souvenirs" was awarded first place, Susan
Morgan's "Emerald Swan" won second place,
and Jillian Anderson's "Play your Chips" came in third. Members
then commented on what they liked about
each entry and gave suggestions on how it might be improved.
Thanks to Albert Orbin for providing the lunch for this meeting.
Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 25
at seven pm in the Doghide Gallery in Tisdale.
If you are interested in photography, we invite you to come and
join us!
