SUMMARY:January Theme:  Landscape photography
DESCRIPTION:Landscape Theme Example by Jennifer Leat \nWe hope that you were inspired by Bill Hall’s presentation on Landscape Photography at the beginning of the month. Landscape photography is a genre that we probably all have done\, even if we do not consider this one of our specific photographic interests. For example\, I am sure we all take landscapes when on holiday. So we hope that you will share some of your landscapes or go out and take some winter or urban landscapes this month. Landscape photography is not only those grand vistas of mountains\, but can also include focussing on smaller detail\, zooming in on part of a scene e.g. a single tree\, cityscapes\, and abstract landscapes which concentrate on color\, shape\, and patterns rather than a specific recognisable location. But the rules of composition and design will still apply!!  \nSome ideas can be found here An Introduction to Intimate Landscape Photography and The Many Faces of Landscape Photography | by Spencer Wade | Medium

SUMMARY:HGCC Member Presentation:  Bill Hall "Beginner's Guide to Landscape Photography"
DESCRIPTION:Speaker Bill Hall “Beginner’s Guide to Landscape Photography”.  \nLandscape photography is more than just documenting the location. Use it not only to share what you saw\, but the feelings and emotions of the moment. \nIn this presentation we’ll delve into the five elements that will take your landscape images from ordinary to extraordinary. We’ll look at the importance of planning\, controlling what you can and working with what you can’t control\, using visual design and technique to express your vision\, and adding the finishing touches in post-processing. \n Bill is a Kitchener-based photographer and has had a camera in his hands for as long as he can remember. While his photographic interests are diverse\, in recent years he has focused primarily on travel photography\, drawn by the variety it offers. Bill is passionate about sharing his travel experiences through his images. Together with his wife\, he has hosted photo tours to Scotland and the Yukon and has also co-hosted several day trips with Photo Tour Trekkers out of London\, Ontario. \nBill is the Director of the Judging Program for the Canadian Association for Photographic Art (CAPA) and is responsible for the training and certification of judges across Canada. \n  \nBill Hall “Beginner’s Guide to Landscape Photography”

SUMMARY:February Theme:  Colour
DESCRIPTION:Colour Theme Example by Jennifer Leat \nColour is this month’s theme in preparation for the CAPA Inspirational Colour competition in which HG will be participating this month. Colour is a powerful tool in photography\, which different moods being created with warm versus cool colours. – warm colours such as red and orange\, are associated with energy and excitement\, while cool colors\, such as blue and green\, are associated with calm and relaxation. Complementary colours (opposite on the colour wheel) can create a sense of contrast and dynamism and can be used to draw attention to an object in the scene. Colour harmony refers to colours that are close on the wheel and create a sense of balance and unity. \nCAPA describes this competition and its themes as an invitation to photographers to showcase their creative skills\, using colour as a vibrant medium to capture dynamic\, outstanding\, stunning\, thoughtful and thought-provoking images. \nIf you are considering submitting for this CAPA competition\, make sure that you carefully check the requirements and sub-themes\, see 2027 Colour Competition – Canadian Association for Photographic Art \n

SUMMARY:CAPA Images Due:  Feb. 15 for Colour Theme
DESCRIPTION:Inspirational Colour – HGCC Image Deadline – Feb 15 \nPlease submit ONE image for consideration to our submissions email by the due date.  In your email specify which one of the following themes your image is to be considered for. \nSee CAPA Competitions under the Competitions menu tab for a brief description of the image themes\, image standards\, and file naming conventions. \nTHEMES: \nCurves & Lines — “Where form meets colour” \nCreate images that highlight the interplay between curves and lines\, using colour to enhance form\, structure\, and visual impact. Subjects may include natural shapes\, botanical details\, architectural elements\, or abstract compositions — anything where colour and geometry work together to create an expressive design. \nMovement & Energy — “Freeze it\, blur it\, chase it”  \nImages that express motion and energy through the use of colour. Subjects may include sports\, dance\, urban life\, light trails\, or natural movement\, using techniques from frozen action to long exposure. Colour should amplify the sense of dynamism — adding impact\, rhythm\, or atmosphere to the motion portrayed. \nNature’s Palette — “No artist’s brush required”  \nImages that explore colour in undisturbed natural environments — from wildflowers and foliage to fungi\, geology\, bark\, ice\, and water. The emphasis is on naturally-occurring colour relationships and the beauty found in untouched landscapes and organic forms. \nColour with a Human Touch — “We leave our mark in colour”  \nImages where human influence makes colour the defining element. Subjects may include urban streetscapes\, architecture\, rural structures\, farmland\, workplaces\, or transportation — any environment shaped by people\, where colour adds impact\, identity\, or meaning. \nColours of Culture — “Colour as identity\, memory\, and belonging”  \nImages that celebrate cultural identity through colour — in traditional dress and textiles\, ceremonial attire\, cultural rituals\, Indigenous art forms\, body decoration\, or everyday moments where colour expresses heritage\, identity\, or tradition. The emphasis is on colour as a meaningful cultural language\, revealing how people and communities use it to tell their stories.

SUMMARY:Guest Speaker Mar. 1st:  Martin Ross "Impact in Nature Photography"
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker Martin Ross – “Impact in Nature Photography – Demystifying the Wow Factor in Nature Photography” \nIn photography\, impact is an elusive quality that separates eye-catching images from ordinary ones.  Yet\, as obvious as impact can be\, it often defies explanation and simply slips through our fingers as we attempt to analyze an image.  This presentation looks beyond the smoke and mirrors of impact and reveals the very practical\, underlying elements that work together to create the wow factor of great nature photographs\, with applicability to photography in general. \nMartin is an accomplished wildlife photographer based in Cranbrook\, British Columbia\, in the spectacular Canadian Rocky Mountains.  He is a national award-winning nature photographer\, long-time individual member of the Canadian Association for Photographic Art and his publication credits include Canadian Geographic magazine.  Originally\, his interest in photography was sparked by many seasons of work as a park naturalist with Parks Canada and BC Parks.  From there\, his Master of Education degree led to a career in international education. \nYou can see some of Martin’s work here Home | Martin Ross Photo \nMartin will present via Teams. \n

SUMMARY:April Theme:  Nature photography
DESCRIPTION:Nature Theme Example by Jennifer Leat \nThis theme follows our speaker\, Martin Ross’ recent presentation on Impact In Nature Photography. We hope that you will have been inspired with some new approaches and ideas that you can try this month. Photographing nature is a way of turning an ordinary walk into an adventure or learning to sit still/slow down to notice the wildlife around you whether that be a small flower\, cheeky squirrel\, that bird that is singing or a deer in a clearing. It does not require travelling to exotic places\, as there is much to photograph wherever we are. It demands patience and learning the behaviours of animals to you can anticipate their movements\, and encourages a deeper connection with nature around us.

SUMMARY:HGCC-Fergus Competition April 5th
DESCRIPTION:The annual HGCC-Fergus Competition will take place April 5th.  HGCC is hosting this year. \nIn 2019\, we started a friendly inter-club competition with the Fergus & District Camera Club as an annual spring event with Highland Glen and Fergus camera clubs alternating hosting duties for the competition.  Each club enters 30 digital images.  This is an open category competition\, so any subject\, processing technique\, etc. is accepted. \nThe competition is intended to be a showcase of the achievements of the club as a whole and not just a few members. HGCC members can submit up to three images for consideration. The club decides on the images to be submitted and strives to have at least one image from every submitter. \nDetails of the competition and image standard are posted here. \nDetails to be added as we get closer to the date.
