SUMMARY:December Photo Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Let’s go out on a limb here and say that despite our Canadian grudging about winter…. we truly deep down adore all signs of the spirit of the holidays. Whether it is the nostalgia of Christmas times past\, or seeing the season’s wonder for the first time through a grandchild’s eyes.  The binging of romantic Hallmark movies that always end well and perfectly timed snow that arrives once all the holiday shopping is done. \nWe bake\, we prep\, we sing carols and roll in the snow.  We celebrate this time in so many ways.  As our culture is so diverse\, we all have different ways to enjoy this time and find meaning in different activities.  Traditions of all kinds seem most prevalent during the holiday season.  The annual ball\, the family gatherings\, the bake sales\, New Year’s promises…. \nWhat I enjoy most at this time of year is the lights.  Indoor\, outdoor…everything just twinkles a little bit more and creates so many opportunities to capture photographs in mood lighting.  I can’t wait to see what you share with us about what this season means to you. \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:African Safari Photography Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Please Note that this presentation has been moved to Thursday Nov 20 \nMeet Connie Smith\, our presenter \nWith the first trip\, I had just retired after 33 years or working at Hydro One/Ontario Hydro and decided to treat myself to something that was on my Bucket List…a trip to South Africa.  I booked my trip with Approach Tours and enjoyed it so much\, that I decided to apply to be a Group Guru (Tour Leader) a couple months after I returned.  Once hired\, they asked if I would mind going back to South Africa as my first trip as a Guru.  How could I say no to something that I thoroughly enjoyed.  October 2024 I was back on the plane to South Africa with 25 adults aged 55+ guests. \nConnie will be presenting her  her first hand account of photographing on safari!  Get ready to go wild as she gives us some tips on her adventure tales!! \nDoors open at 6:30 pm\, Meeting starts at 7 pm

SUMMARY:November Photo Challenge
DESCRIPTION:  \nI think it’s safe to say everyone can appreciate the draw of a great Black & White image.  Whether dramatic or subtle\, there is something about the details that are captured in a somehow more intense way\, than in the vibrancy of a full colour spectrum.  It’s vintage\, it’s modern\, it’s suitable to architecture or portraits and the most incredible landscapes. \nFor myself? The distinction between B&W and colour photos is like comparing reading the written word from a page in a book or that from a screen. When one studies it\, the details pool into your brain in layers (light\, shapes\, line\, texture…) and a story unfolds.  As our light fades this month\, it’s the perfect time to ease back to shooting like it’s a “SLOW FOOD” event.  Take time to think it through\, digest a scene and then savour what we create. \nWe’ve already seen a handful of amazing B&W images surface from our members.  Here is a little secondary challenge. Consider taking a look at images you have shot with the sole purpose of displaying in colour\, and see what changes in the image when the saturation is removed. \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:McLean's Auto Wreckers
DESCRIPTION:Love an old junker?  McLean’s Auto Wreckers is a photographer’s dream.  Let’s go treasure hunting for antique cars\, trucks\, even buses from decades past.  This is a self paced journey\, however\, you are welcome to pair up to explore.  Bring what accessories you wish to shoot with…. tripods\, filters\, maybe reflectors? \nPlease note\, there are no washrooms available on-site.  Make note of the nearest coffee or gas stop if you should wish to stop ahead/after the visit. (The Bearded Barista nearby has been recommended!)

DESCRIPTION: This car show is free admission and a great opportunity to go out and photograph old cars.  Last year there was well over 500 cars on display at the park.  We could meet up in the parking lot and walk around as a group or you can wonder on your own!  Not only are there old and new cars\, but they also have vendors\, food trucks and raffles.  We will be there at the parking lot at 9:00 am if you would like to meet up.  This is a major fundraiser for the Hamilton Police.  More details available on the website see link below. \n  \nThis event is held to support Special Olympics Ontario initiatives and all proceeds from this event go directly to Special Olympics.  \nIn 5 short years we have exceeded all of our goals that we set way back in 2015 to support Special Olympics Ontario. Those goals were: \n\n$10\,000 to Special Olympics Ontario (in 2018 we gave $10\,631.05 to Special Olympics Ontario).\nHave an attendance of 500 cars at the show (over 800+ vehicles attend the show in 2023 and we topped it off with a cheque to Special Olympics Ontario over $32\,218.00).\nWe had a 10 year commitment we made it! Come celebrate our 10th Anniversary’ with us this year!\n\nOur current goal is simply to continue to have fun with this show and raise as much as we can for Special Olympics Ontario!​

SUMMARY:St. Albans Church is an Architectural Treasure
DESCRIPTION:St. Albans Anglican Church is a quaint stone church located in the heart of Rockton\, Ontario.  It was built in 1869. Originally\, services were held in this building twice on Sundays and by 1949 were only held monthly. Services stopped in 1950. Since then\, it is only used for occasional concerts\, weddings\, funerals and similar celebrations. \nThis church has 3 stained glass windows featuring faith\, hope\, and charity.  We are hoping to have a model in a vintage wedding dress and veil included in this photo session.  (Keep in mind that she is NOT a professional model and will need some direction.) \nThere are NO WASHROOMS.  I suggest you go to the Tim Hortons at Peter’s Corners before you come into Rockton. \nThe church has a cemetery which has some interesting tombstones for those who like to shoot graveyard and creepy crawly photos. \nThis event is weather permitting. \nFor those interested in having lunch\, the Cookhouse Bistro is an excellent restaurant.  It is very small\, so if you are planning to go there after the shoot\, please make your own reservations.  Their phone number is 519-647-2012 (787 Old Highway 8). \nCost: $15 per person. Payment is made through e-Transfer. please use the following address treasurer@haldimandphotographyclub.com add  St. Albans to comment/note section \n[rtec-registration-form]

SUMMARY:Indigenous Photo Shoot
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Haldimand Photography Club has arranged to do a photo shoot with two Indigenous people this May.  This is a great chance to practice portrait work well as movement\, as there will be some dancing. \nBoth Stacey (F) and Lyndon (M) will be dressed in colourful regalia representing their culture. \nWe have booked this event for Monday May 26th\, 2025\, 6:30 PM at our usual meeting room at the Caledonia Fair Grounds. We will have lights\, and a backdrop setup\, so you will need a trigger to activate the lights. Please know your camera.  We will be using Godox lights\, so you need to make sure that your trigger can communicate with the light system \nWe need to know confirmed attendance for this event. If you say you are attending\, please be courteous enough to follow through. If the numbers justify it\, we will move to a bigger room\, but that involves a higher rental fee\, so we need a accurate member count.  Please note that we have set the number to 20\, however\, if we use our normal meeting room we can only accommodate a max of 12.  If we get more we will switch to a bigger room and that would allow us to have two setups so that we can split the group and allow everyone attending the shoot to have ample time to take photographs.  We will also rotate the groups so that you will get ample amount of time with each model.  Near the end of the shoot we will look at combining the models and rotate each photographer through so that you can take a group photo.  Current cost is set at $15.00\, which covers room and liability insurance costs.  If we have to switch to the bigger room cost will increase to $20.00. \nPlease use the link below to register for this shoot.  You can e-transfer your fees to:  treasurer@haldimandphotographyclub.com \n  \n[rtec-registration-form]
