I’m still catching up but not nearly as late this time! The theme for August 2009 was “Conflict”. I don’t know if it was a case of too many folks in a happy mood or the exceptionally wonderful weather we’ve been having on Vancouver Island last month, but our members had some trouble producing “Conflict” images. Even so, we did get some good ones. Click here to see the top 3 results.

NEWS FLASH!

The first meeting of our second club season will be September 22. To celebrate an awesome first year and to get the new one off to a brilliant start, our guest speaker is Mike Yip, the well-known Vancouver Island nature photographer and author.

I am very bad! This post should have gone up a month ago and I apologize to the members of the Ladysmith Camera Club for being so remiss in this duty. The good news is I’ll also be posting the August theme shoot today–two for one! So without further ado…

For July 2009, our members submitted 17 images for the “Old & New” theme shoot. Click here to see the top 3 results.

Greetings!
The Theme for March 2009 was “Openings” - an even more challening subject than “Opposites” I think. Nonetheless, the club members were undaunted and submitted a whopping 25 fine photographs. Congratulations to our winners.

For April 2009, the Theme Shoot topic is “Hard Edges”. The due date for submissions is end-of-day Sunday, April 26. We have scheduled an outing to go shooting “hard edges” in the town of Ladysmith on April 19. We’ll meet at The Printingdun Beanery Cafe on 1st Ave at 9am.
