Due to ongoing concerns about personal safety and the spread of the Corona virus, the Sunshine Coast Camera Club has suspended in-person meetings until further notice. The club continues to meet via Zoom meetings and, during the summer, will be holding outdoor activities that support social distancing. We hope to see you on Zoom or at our photo walks etc. To keep in touch with our activities watch for posts about outings or check out our meeting page.
Given the general health concerns raised by the Provincial Medical Health Officer and in the media, we will regretfully cancel the next two meetings (March 17 & April 7). We tentatively plan on resuming our meetings on April 21.
Over the next month we will continue to be advised by the Provincial Medical Health Officer in making the decision to resume meetings.
We will re-evaluate our club meeting schedule and planned activities as we move forward. Stay tuned for updates.
Stay well, everyone!
Jim Hatch, a professional photographer from Surrey, began his photographic journey at a very young age when he did his own processing in a dark room and printed his own photos. He enjoys photographing sporting events, portraits, and many other genres of photography, but is mostly known for his creative photography composites. (hence his mantra “Rather than a Photographer, I consider myself more of an Artist with a Camera “
Jim joined the Langley Camera Club in 2001 and in 2003 joined CAPA (Canadian Association of Photographic Arts). He has won numerous awards and medals through competitions and national contests. He has been published in the Canadian Camera Magazine and the Surrey Arts magazine and has displayed his photos in art shows at the Surrey Cultural Centre and ABC Art Gallery.

During his presentation, Andy will also share with us some of his current work in the form of short slide shows.
On January 25th the annual Burnaby Photographic Society Showcase will hold their annual event presenting high quality slide shows set to music. This event is always a chance to go around the world in an evening. For more information, click here, or go to here to see a short presentation of last year’s show.
The next Sunshine Coast Camera Club meeting is January 21st from 7-9 pm. The meeting will be a photo review on the theme of opposites. Please bring three images as jpegs on a flash (thumb) drive for viewing.
On January 7th Dennis Ducklow presented at teh Sunshine Coast Camera Club about the use of Shutter speed in creative photography. His presentation was followed by a morning beachfront workshop that left the attending club members inspired. Here are are few of the images arising from Dennis’s presentation.
Shutter speed is often overlooked as a creative tool in our photography. We’re mostly familiar with freezing the action and showing motion but there are many other options along the continuum of shutter speeds that our cameras allow. This presentation will sharpen your awareness of the creative potential of shutter speed and leave you determined to try some new ideas. (Some of Dennis’ creative photos are attached.)
Dennis Ducklow, a professional photographer from Langley, is in constant pursuit of the creative edge. In addition to offering photography to businesses and families, Dennis teaches introductory and intermediate photography as well as 7-day creative photography workshops called Develop Your Creative Vision. He loves all aspects of photography and his current personal focus is expressive nature photography. You can view his most recent work on Instagram {doubleexposurephotog).

The Complexity of Colour and The Lure of Luminance
My presentation is designed to appeal to all levels of photographic experience and expertise, including beholders of images relative to their perception and appreciation of photographs.
I will highlight why colour is the most “relative” of mediums… along with the complexities of how to interpret what your eyes and brain are telling you.
I hope to give you my take on why black and white photography can sometimes be so compelling. Spoiler alert: it is not because B&W is timeless or because some think it results in “Fine Art.”
