The tour will take close to two hours to complete. Once finished, we can find a restaurant closeby or move over to the Broadway area (about a 10 minute walk) to make a stop for coffee or a snack.
This walking tour will introduce you to Shaughnessy's history and architecture.
The Shaughnessy neighborhood was created by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Not about clocks or watches but about things associated with Time.
We all have time related activities, coffee time, bed time, happy hour, in the blink of an eye etc.
To borrow from a well known song, how do you measure a year?:
In daylights, in sunsets
In midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles
In laughter, in strife
I would suggest that the title should really fit the photo and it is only limtited by your imagination, be creative and have fun with it. This theme will work well with so many types of photography, time to go!

The 2019 Crescent Beach Photography Club Invitational Black and White Print Competition takes place on Saturday, April 27th. Printing is part of the photography experience. This competition is an excellent way to participate in the full spectrum - the vision, the creation of the digital photogrqph in camera, the post production to finalize the digital file, and the printing.
Members can upload submission(s) to our dropbox up to the deadline of 11:00 pm Saturday March 23. Don't wait till the end. If your digital file is not uploaded by the cut-off your submission will not be acccepted. I repeat. Do not risk waiting until the last few hours. Something always goes wrong!
The digital file can have a maximum dimension of 1400 wide by 1050 high pixels. Take note. This is a different size than we use for our club submissions.
You may upload and print up to three images.
Bring the printed photo, matted on 16x20, single mat board, with a protective cello cover, to the Club meeting on Tuesday March 26. If you know you will not be attending the meeting on Tuesday the 26th of March send me an email to arrange to drop it off before the 26th.
Let's check out the new cars and accessories for 2019.
Taking pictures of all the chrome and shine under bright lights can be challenging so this will be a great opportunity to try some techniques like closeups, reflections, low shots, symmetry, etc.
Let's assemble at the welcome centre information booth (looks like a giant Canada flag) outside the convention centre at 0900am. This will give you some time to take some shots around the area before we go inside when the show opens at 10am.
Located at 1055 Canada Place.
