OUR SPEAKER The Speakers page has been updated with tentative information for the balance of the fiscal year ending in June 2022.

​

OUTINGS for the winter/spring season are currently being arranged and will soon be available to check out.  There will be a number of opportunities for all skill levels and interests.  In the meantime, our Outings Coordinator Eric Sutton had planned a great Zoom opportunity for us to share and discuss images from recent outings to First Light Returns and Bradford Greenhouses.  This was a great way to learn from peer review in a non-threatening environment.  You are welcome to see the photos that members had submitted by checking out the details on the Outings page.  

​

EXHIBIT YOUR WORK  this winter at the Wasaga Society for the Arts (WSA).   This opportunity is open to all our members who have up to four photos they're proud of and would like to display and/or sell.  No prior experience is required and our Speakers Director is happy to answer any questions and provide guidance.   Further details can be found here and if you would like to find out more about the WSA, you can visit them on their website.  

​

THIS AND THAT has been updated to include a new "Travel Adventures" listing provided by our October speaker Mike O'Connor.  

LEARNING LIBRARY is a great way to review basic techniques, advanced skills and specialized techniques.  
New materials are being added all the time so keep watching.   Can't find what you need?  Contact the Member at Large.

MEMBERS' SHARED GALLERY & FORUM

Exciting News!  All members are encouraged to share photos on our new Shared Gallery.  Anything goes (well almost anything) any category, any time, and any place.  Fun, fabulous, cute, scary....anything you would share with your friends on Facebook, you can share with us! Go on, show off!  Just keep it to one photo per day please.

​

The Forum area has been set up to provide our members with a space to post questions, ideas or thoughts.  It’s a way of starting a conversation, about something important to you, that you hope other people will engage with and respond to.  ie - want to discuss pros & cons about a potential new purchase or wondering if anyone is interested in a meet-up?  Let's get lively...check back often to see what's on members' minds.
