I like the present web page very much and I would vote for keeping it and paying the yearly fee of $20.00 US.

FYI, Photo Lumiere show is on at Art Spring. June 25 to July 10.

Five Salt Spring Photographers.

I will let you draw your own conclusions of this show vs. our SS Photography Club show.

If you are interested in the Coast Collective Animal theme show please contact gallery@coastcollective.ca Applications will be submitted on-line with an application no later than July 15, 2010. All artists are notified by July 26 of which images are accepted. There is a $10 hanging fee and 30% commision for each piece sold.

This show is dedicated to celebrating Animals – all our furry, feathered and scaled friends, real and imaginary. Each Artist is limited to 4 entries less than 36” in any dimension, or contact us to discuss possibilities if you have a larger piece. This Fine Art Show will be juried by way of digital images. No work needs to be delivered to the Gallery prior to acceptance and no adjudication fees apply. Artwork on display in the Coast Collective Gift Shop may not be removed to be entered in…

Must give congratulations to all the club members on the wonderful photo show you put on. As one of the newest members and not a show participant - I only echo the wonderful accolades the club received in the Driftwood Newspaper yesterday. The initial write up before the show talked about how the members are united in a common love of photography and a willingness to share their knowledge, ideas and expression in the medium - which is probably the goal ststement of the…

I have now added the duck in the pool at our hotel and the sail boat with land under said picture.

I am having troubles adding a photo below the one I have. All the comes are letters and gobbly goop. No phot shows up. HELP!!!

What happens in a digital camera when you adjust the ISO?
From the internet I have found this description:

If you are using a digital camera, changing the ISO changes the amount of signal amplification and this affects the amount of digital noise in your images. You therefore do not want to change ISO to
simulate dialing in an exposure compensation.

I was thinking on the way home from the meeting last night about ways to attract new members to the group, or just to get people to read my info sheet, and decided that some interesting statistics could help. What I need to know is;

How many are in the club now?

How old is our oldest member....and on the other end of the spectrum, how old are you, James?

How many years have you each been involved with photography, and as a really rough estimate,…

Being an amatuer, I am not sure if my images are ready for this type of show. Therefore, count me as a maybe at a lower level ($75?). The only public place that I have ever shown my photos is 2009 Fall Fair.

Guess I need to learn what is expected to show: quality, size, how many images?

For sure I will help during the show. I am in Mexico until April 1.

Great Work Bob !!

May this year or 2011?

I have been trying to tell you all what my picture is and it won't go on to the bottom of the picture. It is the oblong halogen lights on the Bowen Queen that light up the deck. They are shining on a slanted back window of a car. I blacked out the rear view mirror so that you could not see that it was a car. Hope you had some fun, I did. Thank you for all the comments.

I have now told you what the picture is of. Below my picture.

Not exactly a photography subject but I'm planning on upgrading and taking RAW images, so imagine I will need more ram on my computer. Anyone know whether it's easy to install yourself, or know of someone good that can do it for me? How much more space does RAW take, anyway, than JPEG? Also, any suggestions on a good camera that I can grow into? Thinking about the Nikon D300. And what would be good lenses to start off with if I do go with that one?

Hello fellow photographers. I attended my first meeting of the club this month and really appreciated the format, how informal it was and what sort of comments were made on the photos that were being critiqued. Though I'm not very knowledgeable on the technical side I have an interest in learning all that stuff, with a view to getting an SLR camera and using it well. I learnt about the club on the Salt Spring community list (bless it!). For the last 5 years I've been using my photos to put out… Continue
