Night Sky Photography presentation and Workshop Postponed
Since the weather forecast is calling for a 100% chance of 30-40mm of rain for Thursday-Friday, we have made the decision to postpone the Night Sky Photography Workshop. Since the presentation is connected with the workshop, we will have some alternative presentations this month.
- Joseph Leduc will give us one of his intently informative presentations, this time featuring macro photography.
- Larry Tayler will take us on a wonderful photo journey to Tasmania and Australia.
- We will have time to view and discuss our attempts at street photography.
- And finally, we will have the opportunity to view and score the images that have been submitted for our upcoming exhibition at the Parrott Art Gallery.
This should be a full and interesting evening!
Feature Presentation: Night Sky Photography
Postponed due to rain
Ariel Estulin
Ariel Estulin is an award winning photographer and photo educator. Primarily interested in landscapes, he travels the world seeking out beauty in those wild and remote places on earth that still remain untouched by civilization and where nature commands ultimate attention.
Self-taught as a photographer, he spent time with Freeman Patterson, Canada’s renowned photographer, to learn the art of making great photographs. His training as a graphic designer continually shapes what he sees through the lens in order that elements such as light, shape and colour all work in harmony. His never-ending search for off-beat adventures have led him to explore the Himalayas of Nepal and Ladakh, along with South America’s Patagonia. He feels right at home paddling his canoe or hiking in his backyard, the country of Canada.
As a photo educator, his goal is for students to come away with not just better photographs, but a better understanding of photography, better compositions and most importantly, a skill set they now have and can use on future adventures.

Joseph Leduc fillets in on the newly formed Ontario Council of Camera Clubs
There are still a few spaces available for this Spring Retreat at Isaiah Tubbs in Picton. A great opportunity right in our own backyard.
Ian Dickinson reminded us about the Photo Birding excursions he is leading, but they are now full.
This will be an informal evening of member’s show and tell of the favourite gear and photo gadgets, a yard sale of gear we want to sell, and a smorgasbord of Christmas snacks and goodies brought in and shared by our members. We will also feature slideshows created by our members. So go through your camera bags (and closets) to find gear to show off or sell, get to work on your slideshows, and bake up your favourite snacks to share. It is always a fun evening.
We appreciated Bill’s images and insights into the great Canadian wilderness. Bill asked us to pass on the following information:
