Urban DecaySubmissions due Sep 30, 2019You don't have to go far to find a run down part of the city. An image can be as simple as a rusted lock to a sprawling abandoned building. Run down may mean physical obstacles for a photoshoot so be careful amd aware of your your surroundings. Be safe!
Photographic techniques to consider: Low Light, B&W.
An Evening of Image ExplorationOct 1, 2019This evening is all about sharing and discussing our images in a friendly and non-intimidating environment.
Agenda:
Image Exploration
Have you recently tried a new photographic genre or technique? Maybe you're new to photography. No matter how long we've been making photographs we can still learn from each other.
Images will be displayed and the maker will be given an opportunity to share their thought process in creating the image. The floor will then be open for member discussion. The goal is to go beyond the simple "critique" and explore what works and maybe what doesn't within each image.
In Preparation:
For: Image Exploration

(Google Maps, New Westminster Queen's Park Map) - An Evening of Image ExplorationJan 7, 2020
This evening's meeting will be all about exploring images we think might be suitable for entry into the North Shore Challenge photo competition. Similar to our Image Exploration evening on October 3, 2019, we will discuss submitted images and give the makers feedback prior to the competition selection on February 4, 2020.
Agenda:
An Evening of Image Exploration
When photographers hear the words photo competition they often tune out, feel intimidated or even become annoyed. We all have our reasons for pursuing photography and making images and these reasons should be respected. There is no denying that competitions are not everyones cup of tea. Having said that, some photographers wish to put forth their images for judging to see where their photography stands in regards to their peers. It's not so much about "winning" as it challenging ourselves to improve as photographers.
