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

Once we have a cancellation the first person on the list will get the first offer to purchase a ticket to this shoot\, cancellations will be offered on a first order process.  If we don’t get 10 HPC members\, we will open it to other clubs. \nOnce all tickets are sold and you would like the opportunity  to attend this event\, please e-mail Randy Carter at the email listed below to get your name on the standby list.. .

SUMMARY:May Photo Challenge-Wind
DESCRIPTION:How do we photograph something that is unseen?  Well\, the impact of wind is very visible.  Strong winds show evidence all around us in nature.  The trees that bend\, the clouds that roll\, waves that crash and all that floats in the breeze.  From storm ravaged barns to wind-swept hair\, it’s the perfect month to capture images for this theme. \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.
