IMAGE MAKER

New LibraryPhoto GalleryAs you may know as the SackvilleLibrary had to close for five weeks forupgrades, so we had to remove our photogallery from the front service area.The library has re-opened and it hasprovided us with a new wall to use as agallery for the club photos. W e h a v eframed several 8x12 landscape photos thatwe had on hand from various clubphotographers and along with the librarysystem’s graphics artist, hung these on thenew wall.As you will see they do not take up a lotof the space, and we have been told we canvirtually fill the wall with images. So ifanyone has, or wants to produce, a nice8x12 or 8x10 print (landscape or portrait)for inclusion here, please see Yvette.We would like all the frames to coordinate,so if you would be willing todonate the cost of a frame (approximately$25 from National Art), then that toowould be appreciated.We will hang the images for a fewmonths at a time, and slowly rotate newones in.I was at the Grand Opening and manyof the staff and dignitaries had wonderfulcomments about the SPC Gallery.BOKEHWhat you can do with MacrosI did one of the presentations at the club on the night we had Macro theme. Mydemonstration was about how to create shaped suegauthier using a home-made “hood” over thecamera lens.I was using my Canon 100 mm macro lens, but you can use any lens with a large aperture(f2.8 or 1.8 or 1.4 work the best). A quick link here www.diyphotography.net/diy_create_your_own_bokeh shows the technique.At the club I demonstrated how to make waterdrops on a piece of black fabric look like littlestars. Submitted by Nancy RoseI personally guided Mayor Peter Kelley, MPPeter Stoffer, and Provincial Minister ofCommunity, Culture and Heritage, David Wilson,to view our Gallery and told them of the history,composition and contributions of our club.The library has undergone some wonderfulchanges and looks and feels much nicer, brightand roomier, has been re-arranged for moreconvenience, and has a lot more computers andworkstations. You should drop by to see thechanges and the club’s gallery!Submitted by Lawrence SpencerThe Sackville Photography club would like to thank The Printer for allits support with the printing of The Imagemaker for our members.About UsThe Sackville Photography Club wasestablished in 1988 to bring all different typesof photographers together to share theirinformation, experience and knowledge in allaspects of photography.
