April Meeting

Hi Everyone!

1) Just a reminder of the next Camera Club meeting on April 3rd

- This meeting will have a Slideshow to open the meeting. Members may submit ONE image on

any of the following subjects: Light Painting; Oil & Water; Smoke Bombs; Open. Or, you may

instead choose to submit ONE image or print of your work that has received an award or

recognition in any competition, or special acknowledgement in any way. Submit entries to Rob

Harden by 6:45 the day of the meeting.

- We will then have a Presentation on Portraiture by Andy Hamilton. Andy is busy preparing a

great presentation for us, and we are all sure to learn much about how to do portrait

photography. This will be great for all, even for when we are simply taking pictures of our own

family or children. Lots to learn!

2) A reminder of the Outing on Saturday, April 15th

- This Outing will be focussing on Night Photography. Come and share and learn the art of taking

exceptional sunset (skies permitting) and night photography!

through the Shriners Club:

Cory Kerr would like our members to submit images to him as soon as possible for their

upcoming 2025 Convention in Moose Jaw. He wishes to begin to receive images for their website

now as they develop their web page for the Convention.

Cory is looking for images such as:

➢ Living skies (showing the beauty of our sky)

➢ Some wildlife photos (deer, foxes, birds)

➢ Photos of iconic Moose Jaw (Mac the Moose, Snowbirds, City Hall, Library, etc.)

➢ Photos of recreation (swimming, pool, Yara Centre, etc.)

➢ Photos of classic vehicles (car shows)

➢ Landscapes showing off the vast differences in Saskatchewan (wheatfields,

badlands, grasslands, forests...

➢ Basically, photos that will wow people and make them say, “I want to go to

Saskatchewan and Moose Jaw!”

*** Hope you are all able to attend these next Club events!
