May 25th, 2004: Twelve members attended the May meeting of Parkland
Photography Club. One was in Georgia, another in Holland, and the
others just couldn’t make it.
Doreen Crawford (right) was presented withher Silver Merit Award. Congratulations, Doreen!
The event was captured on digital film by Alan Caithcart.
Darlene read Judges’ Comments on our Club’s Transparency Battle slides
as they were projected. Darlene received an Honorable Mention with
a score of 22, and Howard Armstrong (left) received a Best of Show
award with a mark of 25.
Northern Imagery of Prince Albert had the highest club score, but our
club was just behind them by one point. Quite an improvement from last year, when
we were dead last! We were mentioned as the Most Improved Club.
Our Theme Shoot, which was
“Anything at Night”, had nine entries. First
went to Darlene for her photo of a snowman outlined in lights; second to Alan
for his of Santa’s sleigh, also outlined in lights, and third to Wes for his
late evening lake scene. There was considerable discussion on when it becomes “night” and the consensus was
a half-hour after sunset. In future, such themes should be more carefully defined,
although the judges still have the right to disqualify anything they do not feel
meets the theme.
Themes for next year were decided as follows:
|
|
September |
|
Summer Fun |
|
March |
|
Cold |
|
October |
|
Bumble Bee |

April |

Darlene, Mary, Doreen and Jerry had all brought examples
of their Print Circuit entries, along with the comments made by other entrants;
the prints were projected and the comments read.
We are sorry to say that Harry Bourne will be leaving our Club, likely in
June. Harry and Evelyn have sold their place and will be moving to
Ponoka, AB. They will be sorely missed. Harry’s enthusiasm and willingness
to put work into his pictures made him a valuable club member.
