For tonight's meeting please be prepared to share 1 or 2 images with the group and have a brief explanation of what apps or techniques you used to make the images.  All participants will have the option of screen sharing.  To screen share, please make sure you have your image opened on your desktop.  When you click on "Screen Share" another box will pop up with the image that you want to share. Just click and share!  Have fun!  If you don't feel comfortable sharing your screen, you can email you images directly to Marlene Reimer at marleneheather@gmail.com Creative Photography is for anyone who is interested in taking their photography to another level, adding new dimensions to their workflow, exploring new and fun ways to make those photos sparkle and work within a small group to learn, share and grow in whatever genre you shoot, landscape, macro, portraiture, long exposure, etc.  This group is open to all club members and will open the creative floodgates to new and endless possibilities. This group is not a teacher led group, rather it is a way for LCC members to explore, share, learn and encourage creativity together.  There is only one rule for this group:  You must have taken the original photograph.  After that any type of processing is encouraged, you may use whatever style of processing your wish.  All post processing apps can be used and additional elements can be added to the photos.  Whether your creativity shines in-camera or in post processing, out of the box thinking is what this group is all about. Outings and other special events can take place as we are able.  Come prepared to learn, share and experiment together.  We will be able to share our creations with the club on special SIG presentation nights.

Throughout the month of October, we are taking a deep dive into the magical world of Black and White photography. To kick us off in spectacular style, Cole Thompson will make the case that black and white is the perfect medium for any subject…except for one. Cole will show work from his various portfolios including: The Ghosts of Auschwitz-Birkenau Harbinger Ceiling Lamps Moai, Sitting for Portrait The Lone Man  And others Interspersed between the images Cole will share his photographic philosophies, such as: Never listen to others Photographic Celibacy Coles Rule of Thirds Equipment is overrated Vision is the most important tool in my toolbox And many others! At the end of his presentation Cole will answer questions and give away a print of The Angel Gabriel Bio: Cole Thompson is uniquely unqualified to speak on photography. “I’ve never taken a photography class or a workshop. I don’t have a degree in art. I’ve never worked as a photographer. I don’t have gallery representation. I’m not a Canon Explorer of Light. And I only have three lenses and none of them are primes. Do I have any qualifications? Just one…my images. Nothing else matters.” ***This event is for MEMBERS ONLY***  Thinking of joining Langley Camera Club? Click Here for more details or drop an email to membership@langleycameraclub.ca

PLEASE NOTE:  ZOOM INVITE WILL BE LOCATED IN VISUAL PURSUITS UNDER "MEMBERS ONLY".FILES TO DOWLOAD>ZOOM LINKS and LOOK FOR THE MEETING DESCRIBING SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP - COMMENTS, CRITIQUES AND TECHNIQUES AND THE CORRECT DATE.  This will be a casual, conversational and supportive get together.   The basis of the group is to discuss images and generate conversation surrounding the images.  This conversation can be anything from asking for, or giving feedback on how to improve an image.  It can include talking about techniques involved when taking the picture, or techniques for future attempts, helping someone decide which image to submit for a competition, if, for example they are having a hard time deciding.  We can also discuss upcoming competitions and evaluation nights, and whether your image is suitable for the theme.  If someone wants to share their image and talk about their process, that is fine too.  At some point in time, we can also look at some images that have won CAPA awards and see what type of images does well.  PLEASE REMEMBER THIS NIGHT IS TO HELP PEOPLE AND DOES NOT ENSURE YOU WILL GET A HIGH SCORE ON EVALUATION NIGHT! For the first meeting, each participant can bring one to four images to discuss and will use the "screen share" option on Zoom.    Depending on how many people attend, we may only get to one of your images or maybe we can discuss all. We will have these meetings prior to the end of each month and a week or so before evaluation nights.
