SUMMARY:50's Diner Photoshoot
DESCRIPTION:We have arranged a photoshoot at Passmore’s Diner in Dunnville.  The diner is decorated in a vintage 50’s style diner.  The owner has granted us the opportunity to shoot in the diner.  We have also have contracted a model\, Clarissa Smith\, and she will be dressed in vintage style clothing\, and we may even convince the owner to dress up and pose! \nGiven the size of the diner\, we are limiting the numbers to 10.  If we have more\, we can see if we can get a second date for another shoot.  We will have lights and soft boxes set up.  You will need to bring your Godox trigger.  The cost for this shoot is $25.00 and you can register and pay using the following link. \nLooking forward to a great shoot!  Note if we have 10 registered please email Tony Maddalena at amaddalena@rogers.com and he will create a wait list to set up a possible second shoot. \n

SUMMARY:Camera & Prop Swap / Common Photo Editing Challenges: Iain McCorquodale
DESCRIPTION:Our July Photo Scavenger Hunt brought out creativity\, humor\, and surprising perspectives — from clever “upside down” compositions to tender wildlife portraits and the softest textures captured in town.

SUMMARY:June Photo Challenge-Shadows
DESCRIPTION:We often spend a lot of time concerning ourselves with avoiding harsh light and shadows in portraits\, unless there is a creative pull to enhance the mood.  This month\, as the days are longer\, let’s stretch our imagination to consider how shadows can impact our images.  It can be goofy and playful as we play with kids and driveway chalk\, it can be creepy and ominous on the site of an old abandoned building.  Whatever way you slice it\, shadows do add drama. \nMembers can upload images to the dropbox through the website for tickets to the Holiday Potluck prize draw.  You are also welcome to share on our Club Facebook page. \n  \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Bringing Light to Portraits - Darren Creighton
DESCRIPTION:Bringing Light to Portraits \nWhether it’s in a studio or on location\, adding an off camera light can really enhance the look and feel of an image. \nJoin Darren for a look at using off camera strobes to literally “bring light to your portraits”.  He will talk about lighting concepts\, equipment\, camera/strobe settings and thought processes. Geared to inspire with lots of behind the scenes images showing lighting setups and ideas. \n \nDarren Creighton \nI was born and raised in Welland Ontario. As a kid I was into creative things like drawing\, music & skateboarding. A friend of mine introduced me to photography when he did a photo shoot for the band I was playing in. Shortly after that I picked up my father’s 35mm Minolta\, made my first print in the darkroom and was hooked! That was 1997 and it’s been a creative passion in my life ever since. \nPhotography to me is such a great means of expression. It’s the exploration of your vision and ideas mixed with light\, composition\, storytelling\, technique & sometimes luck. When these elements come together it can feel like magic. It’s addicting. \nI love how with camera in hand\, you see and appreciate the world in a whole new way. \nWebsite  / Instagram \n  \n  \nDoors open at 6:30\nMeeting starts at 7:00 \nYou can find details about our guest policy here.

SUMMARY:April Photo Challenge-Still Life Food
DESCRIPTION:We often overlook the foods we eat every day as something worthy of a photograph.  Until you are in a restaurant and every table has a cell phone snapping pictures of their dining experience online.  But the simplicity of a single fruit\, a bundle of produce\, or a morning coffee is an art and offers limitless possibilities.   Try capturing your holiday baking or sweet treats. Even raw ingredients like grains or berries can make for a great photo filled with texture or colour details.  Experiment with the natural light\, sculpting light\, maybe even candlelight to create a story with food. \nMembers can upload images to the dropbox through the website for tickets to the Holiday Potluck prize draw.  You are also welcome to share on our Club Facebook page. \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dog Photography Tips & Tricks with Cathie Wheeldon
DESCRIPTION:Dog Photography Tips & Tricks with Cathie Wheeldon \nAs a Pet Professional for nearly 40 years including Professional Dog Trainer\, owner of Hug-a-Pup Dogsitting Services\, and foster home with Border Collie Rescue Ontario\, I’m well equipped and excited to also work with dogs and their people as a Dog Photographer and owner of Wheeldon Photography!  \nYour dog isn’t just a dog – they’re family. \nI believe every dog has a story to share. It’s important to capture those unique quirks\, personality traits\, and individual characteristics so that their story can shine through! I know how important dogs are to their owners – they’re family! I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to preserve the memories and special moments of cherished dogs for fellow dog lovers. Producing personalized wall art\, albums or other artwork that can be enjoyed for many years to come is a way to keep them with us always.  \nMy photography sessions are relaxed\, outdoors\, and completely dog-led. There’s no pressure to sit still or perform — we move at the dog’s pace\, allowing time to explore\, sniff\, and settle in naturally. This approach creates genuine expressions\, natural movement\, and images that truly reflect the dog’s personality. Combined with changing seasons\, beautiful\, and often epic\, locations\, every session is one-of-a-kind! \nWe’ll be chatting about the pet photography genre and I’ll share tips and tricks for working with animals. Safety is very important as is making sure that the animals are comfortable as their expression is key for their images! Animal handling\, management\, attention getters and use of light are just some of the tips I’ll be sharing. I’ll also discuss some editing techniques (and how to make that part of the job easier by considering a few things during the session!)\, as well as my approach to sessions with specific artwork in mind. Whether you’re looking to improve your dog photography or would like to take better photos of your own pet\, I’m happy to share some info to help you to build on your skills! \n  \nCathie Wheeldon – Wheeldon Photography \nCathie Wheeldon has been a Pet Professional for nearly 40 years\, including as a Professional Dog Trainer\, the owner of Hug-a-Pup Dogsitting Services\, a foster home with Border Collie Rescue Ontario\, the manager of Ryan’s Pet Food\, and now as a Dog Photographer with Wheeldon Photography. \nHer family includes her husband\, Simon\, their daughter\, Etta\, their Border Collies\, Zoinks & Retro\, a flock of Runner Ducks\, and two Cockatiels! They are lucky to live on a 21-acre wooded property just outside of Cayuga. \nCathie moved from her hometown of Stratford to Hamilton in 1992 to attend Mohawk College where she achieved her Diploma in Applied Music as a Jazz Vocal major (her only “stray” from animals!!). \nIn 1997 she apprenticed with McCann Professional Dog Trainers where she became a full-time Head Instructor and fell in love with dog training\, teaching\, and dog sports. She has been active in Flyball and Disc Dog\, and Cathie has done extensive training in Agility\, Obedience\, and Herding. Besides teaching\, she and her dogs performed as part of the McCann Dogs team in their Agility and Flyball performances at various venues including The Royal Winter Fair\, Ontario Place\, All About Pets\, and The Sportsman Show. While teaching at McCann’s\, she started her in-home boarding business\, Hug-a-Pup Dogsitting Services\, which became her full-time job\, and is now in its 24th year! \nCathie has continued to further her dog training education over the years and has embraced a game-focused\, positive reinforcement approach that she loves. She knows that an understanding of dog behaviour and a focus on relationship building is so very important when dealing with dogs\, and she works hard to develop trust and a connection with each dog she works with. Her many years of experience have helped her to provide an enriching and positive environment where dogs feel safe and relaxed. \nCathie is now an experienced Dog Photographer and is able to use all of these skills and years of experience to create meaningful artwork of her client’s beloved pets. Cathie is well-equipped and excited to work with dogs and their owners! \n  \nwww.wheeldonphotography.com \nwww.instagram.com/wheeldonphotography \n  \nDoors open at 6:30\nMeeting starts at 7:00 \nYou can find details about our guest policy here.

SUMMARY:February Photo Challenge
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nTexture is so fun to work with! Not all of our natural elements will be exposed this month\, but we may have bark\, stone or interesting architectural finishes close at hand.  If the weather is not great for being outdoors with our cameras\, this month’s challenge can easily be done indoors. Get creative with fabric\, paper\, food\, sewing essentials or even the shiny coat on the cat!  Textured surfaces also make surprising backdrops for portraits.  This is a good month to practice with lighting a subject or maybe spend time on changing settings to create different results on your portrayal of texture. \nMembers can upload images to the dropbox through the website for tickets to the Holiday Potluck prize draw.  You are also welcome to share on our Club Facebook page. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:January Photo Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Ahhhh Canadian Winter!  At this time\, some of us have fled.  Some of us are still waiting for the white stuff to fall… and stay.  We likely haven’t suffered near as much as we think\, but knowing we have another long haul of winter ahead\, let’s share the “Best Of” this season. \nWhen we have a good amount of snow…. that often brings the best of our outdoor winter activities into play.  Ponds freeze over for hockey and snowmen spring up on front yards. Hiking\, skiing\, sledding and ice fishing incite some of us to get outdoors.  On the other hand\, some of us prefer to enjoy warm hands!  So we enjoy a hot bevie or two and cozy up indoors.  At some point\, we crack open our camera gear and start snapping. \nWhat scenes of this season do you feel capture the true essence of winter? \nMembers can upload images to the dropbox through the website for tickets to the Holiday Potluck prize draw.  You are also welcome to share on our Club Facebook page. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Jarvis Light Up
DESCRIPTION:**   Due to very low sign ups we have cancelled this event \nSince its inception\, Jarvis Light Up has become a beloved tradition in the community\, eagerly awaited by residents and visitors alike. Each year\, the contest invites participants to transform their homes into dazzling displays of holiday cheer. The sight of illuminated houses\, adorned with twinkling lights\, charming ornaments\, and festive decorations\, brings a touch of wonder and warmth to the wintry landscape. \nWe will meet at 6:30 at the Jarvis Tim Hortons (2120 Main St N\, Jarvis)\, from there we can carpool/caravan together and photograph some of the Christmas displays.
