SUMMARY:What Do You See Photo Challenge 2026
DESCRIPTION:A photo challenge for Niagara Photographers who are interested in the opportunity to see through the lens of fellow photographers as a source of inspiration. ● This year we have 6 locations spread across Niagara ! \n  \nDownload the location map here.  \n  \n\nVisit each of the 6 locations below and take photos.\nYou can do them all in one day or different days\, time etc. Please stay as close to the designated spot or area as possible when taking your shots or it will defeat the purpose. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your photos. Remember this is the “what do you see” photo challenge\, so make us “see what you see”.\nWhen you have shot all the locations\, pick your one best photo from each location and process the 6 images to your liking\, anything goes.\nResize your 6 images to maximum 1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels high in JPG format.\nRename each jpg image file starting with the number of the location and then your name. As an example an image from location 3 will be called “3 Joe Smith” .\nEmail them to me dropdcreighton@gmail.com to complete your submission. (please note your images should go directly to Darren\, there will not be link to our Dropbox for this event)\nThe deadline for submissions is October 14th 2026.\n\n  \nHere’s the best part;\nYour images will be assembled into a slideshow with the other participants and shown in the order of locations. That way all of us can draw on the inspiration in seeing what other photographers see with different interpretations of the same locations. It is a great way to expand what you see and photograph\, as well as a great excuse to go out and shoot!\nThe slideshow will premiere at a Welland Photography Club meeting on October 28rd 2026. After that evening it will be uploaded to YouTube for all of us to enjoy. \nCheck out these past challenges:\nThe 2014 CHallenge can be seen here:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5bCzKiIL7w&t=296s\nThe 2023 Challenge can be seen here:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq6sWQIt788&t=26s  \nFAQ’s\nIs there a cost to participate?\nThere is no cost. The challenge is free. \nDo I have to be a member of a Camera or Photography Club?\nNo\, you don’t need to be a member of any club. All are welcome to participate. You are also welcome to come see the premiere at the Welland Photography Club in October. \nWhat if I don’t shoot all the locations ?\nShooting all 6 locations is recommended but if you miss some that’s ok too. Submit what you have so you can join the fun. \nIs this a competition?\nIt’s not a competition\, just a creative exercise for us all.  \nWill my photos be used for anything else?\nAbsolutely not\, your photos will be in a slideshow posted on YouTube for the purposes of this challenge only.  \nHave Fun ! Darren Creighton \n  \n

SUMMARY:#RealWorldPhotography – Pure & Natural - Terry McDonald. *Please note the date is Nov 5\, 2026.
DESCRIPTION:  \nPlease note the date is Nov 5\, 2026\, not our regular 2nd Thursday of the month.\nIn these days of increasing reliance on AI\, is there still room for photography as it was originally intended? Of course there is—and we will explore just how to remain true to the medium. #RealWorldPhotography celebrates the world beyond the lens as it truly exists\, by capturing photographs authentic to the original subject or scene using the skills and talents of the photographer. But be prepared\, as you may feel compelled to re-think accepted beliefs and practices. \n  \n\n\n  \n\n
