First Place
Darlene McCullough
"Sunflower" |
Due to the rainy weather on Tuesday, May 25 the Parkland
Photography Club had to cancel their planned photo shoot to Jones
Wildlife Sanctuary and instead met in the Doghide Gallery. There
were eleven members and one guest present with Vice-President Neil
Anderson chairing the meeting. It was decided to try the photo
shoot later in June, again weather permitting.
Membership fees for next year will remain at $25 per
member and $35 per family.
Members handed in their seven choices for theme shoots
for next year. Anne McIntosh will tabulate the results of
the voting and let the members know the theme shoot selected for
each month.
Alan Caithcart shared an article about photography
published in the Western Producer. He brought extra copies so
there are some for the members who were not present at this meeting.
Six members shared their "photos taken within a
two meter square within twenty-hours" projects. Wendy Derbowka
showed photos from her yard (birds, trees, rocks); Hannah Anderson had
photos that she took from the dugout at one of her ball games; Jillian
Anderson took photos on the deck and roof of her house; Albert Orban
took photos near his home (hospital, Elementary School) Alan Caithcart
took photos in his back yard (trees, birds, decorations); and Darlene
McCullough took photos from her kitchen window of felling a large
spruce tree. Members commented on each and asked questions so there
was a good sharing session. Consensus was it was a great project
as it forced us to take the time to really look at things.
Those members who had completed their projects but were unable to
attend this meeting will have an opportunity to share their projects
at the September meeting.

Second Place
Lia Boxall
"Cathedral Grove"
|
Darlene McCullough shared some photos of her lady slipper
plant and some experimenting that she had done with some tools in her
editing program as well as some of a lily tree taken last summer.
The theme shoot for this month was "back lit or
side lit photo" and there were five entries for members to judge.
First Place went to Darlene McCullough for her photo of a sunflower,
Second Place went to Lia Boxall for her photo of trees in Cathedral
Grove, and there was a tie for Third Place between Jillian Anderson's
photo of a wild mushroom and Wendy Derbowka's gladiola. The members
discussed the photos and it was a good sharing session proving
that photography is a subjective subject.
Members were reminded that they need about fifteen
digital images or prints for the slide show for the senior residences
to be handed in in the fall. The Gleneath Foto Fun Competition
will require one digital image or slide taken in Saskatchewan from
each member in September.
Lunch for this meeting was supplied by Jenny Fritshaw.
The next meeting of the Parkland Photography Club will
be held at 7 PM on Tuesday, September 28 at the Doghide Gallery.
In the meantime, check out the photos on display in the Gallery and
think about joining us in the fall! Stay safe and enjoy the
summer!
