First Place
"Duck Family"
by Anne McIntosh |
Parkland Photo Club met in the Doghide Gallery on Tues, May 27 with 11
members present. The meeting was chaired by Vice-President Anne
McIntosh.
Darlene McCullough reported on the Transparency Battle which was won
by Gleaneath Camera Club.
Since we couldn't find a date suitable to everyone, we decided to
cancel our June Outing but Anne is going to see if she can get details
on the Doghide Garden Club Tour for this year and we may be able to
attend this.
Theme shoots for next year were selected: Sept - Flowering Tree(s) or
Shrub(s); Oct - Still Life; Nov- Stones; Jan - Old
Building(s); Feb - Macro Photo; Mar - Favorite Photo;
Apr - Hoarfrost; May - Bird(s)

Second Place
"Waiting for her Partner"
by Albert Orbin |
There were 7 entries in our club Spring photo competition.
Members were to select 4 photos they had taken this spring and mount
them as one unit. It was very interesting to see the variety of items
that had been selected and to note that there was only one repeated
item. It made for a very colourful display! Each member then
judged all entries other than their own and results were tabulated.
1st was won by Anne McIntosh with her bird photos; 2nd by Alie Neish
with her flower photos; and 3rd by Albert Orban with a variety of
images. The members were so pleased with these that they decided
to do the same competition with summer photos. 4 photos are to
be selected from the ones taken over the summer and mounted as one
unit. These will be judged at the Sept meeting.
Anne then presented Alie Neish with her gold medal for earning 500
club points. Congratulations, Alie!

Our theme shoot for this month was Duck(s) and there were 9 entries.
1st went to Anne McIntosh for her duck family; second to Albert

Anderson for her white duck.
It was decided that membership fees would remain the same as they have
been for the last number of years - $25 for an individual and $35 for
a couple or family.
This is the last formal meeting of the club for this year so the next
meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the Doghide Gallery on Tues,

Until then, have a great summer and keep on shooting (photos, that
is)!
