Parkland Photography Club April 2005

April 26th, 2005: There were ten members at the April
meeting of Parkland Photography Club. There was almost no business to discuss,
so Darlene brought us up to speed on various contests and competitions open
to our members.
Theme for our theme competition was “Snowbanks or Snowdrifts” and there
were eight entries. Winner was Glen Neish’s photo of snowbanks along a snowfence;
runners-up were Alie Neish’s photo of the same snowfence taken from the other
side on a different day, and Anne McIntosh’s photo of a snowbank in the form
of a graceful peak. Lovely photos, all!(We received a letter from
Albert Orban with two great photos for entry into the theme competition. Unfortunately,
they came a day late! Will include them with this newsletter so you can see what
winter is like at Wha Ti, NWT.) |
We had received our slides back from PRPA competitions,
with marks but no comments, and also the ones we had sent to Gleneath Foto Fun
contest. The latter had comments included. Alan and Darlene had made
them into a digital slide show. We weren’t in the prizes with any of our photos,
but three did score 24 out of 30, which isn’t too shabby.
Glen Neish showed us some northern lights photos he had taken. Wonderful!
We then enjoyed a digital slide show of photos Darlene had taken on her trip
to New Zealand a few years ago.
Wes has made some club projects into slide shows and we viewed two of them: Theme
winners from our 2003 — 2004 Club year, and last year’s Club Slide Show, complete
with narrator’s comments. Some of these slide shows are available on our Club’s
web page, but one has to have access to high-speed
Internet to be able to view them.
Our June field trip was discussed and it was tentatively decided to go to St.
Brieux and Bellevue on June 4th. That is only about three hours total
driving time from Tisdale and there is lots to see in both places.
For our May meeting: Elections for the 2005 — 2006 Club year, usually a pretty quick
and painless operation but you never know when there might be a grass-roots uprising!
The Theme for May is “Clouds”, and we like to pick our eight themes for the
next Club year in May, so start giving it some thought. |

It’s not too early to be thinking about next year’s Club
slide show - have you got a roll of slide film? Jerry can make slides from
prints, but it is much less satisfactory than original slides. Thanks to Wes,
we can now have a permanent, digital record of our slide shows, something we have
never had. Once a show is dismantled and the slides returned to the makers, it is
gone forever. |

Remember, the May meeting is one week early, on May
17th, same time and place. See you there! |
