Outing - Vancouver Downtown Scavenger Hunt (10:00 AM PDT)

Most of us are familiar with Vancouver Downtown. You have probably been for work, for dinner or for entertainment - but have you ever been there for a Scavenger Hunt ?

Our September outing will give you a different experience - you will be provided with a “Mission Impossible” list of challenges – your objective is to solve / answer these challenges with a photograph.

The challenge list will only be distributed at our start location, but as a teaser, it may involve a variety of logic, factual and photographic techniques (Street / Architectural / ICM photography etc).  A suggested route will be provided (not an onerous physical exercise).

Our debrief and our finish point (1.5 hours later) will be at the Lions Pub, 888 W Cordova St. Vancouver.

Are you up for the challenge??

Photography Judging and the Art of Commenting (7:00 PM PDT)

Camera clubs offer members some great opportunities to learn and practice their craft, one of which is regular photo competitions, including monthly themes. Seeing other members’ images and getting critiques on your own is one good way to improve your photography. Thinking like a photo contest judge is an even more powerful way to rapidly improve the quality of your photographs, and maybe your entries to competitions.

Our own Paul Larose will lead a discussion about the judging of photographs, the “art” of commenting on photographs of others, and the importance of the title you create to convey the goal of your photograph as it influences commenting and judging of your photographic work.
