How our meetings/club works
Meetings:
•Meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month at 7pm
•Free to attend.
•We only ask that you sign the attendance page in the meeting and at the front desk of the Parkside Centre (It helps with their funding, and they give us this room for free)
•Meetings are meant to be informal and we try to create an open comfortable atmosphere
•General plan for meetings are laid out, mostly consist of photo sharing
Photo Sharing
•Bring 1-2 photos to share (by stick or email them to me in advance)
•When a photo is presented, the photographer explains the photo, and the ball is then passed around the room for comments.
Knowledge share
•Occur roughly once a month.
•Presented my members of the club
•If you feel comfortable in giving a talk please let me know!
Live Edit
•I pick a photo during a meeting to edit on screen to help show some common easy edits that make a large difference.
Question Period
•There are question slips passed around with the attendance, if you have a question that you want to ask but are shy/embarrassed, fill out the sheet and pass it along
Photo walks/tasks
•Have the occasional photo walk or task as a club
•We have gone to the Island, Onaping Falls, Bell Park, Killarney, and more (needs to be more member support in these activities)
•We are always open to new suggestions on activities for members to help grow as photographers.
