September 2008 Newsletter

On location at Factory on 163 in Stratford with the September Newsletter.  We selected this location to promote the theatrical set created by 10 summer camp students from Central High School in Stratford.  Working with set designers John Pennoyer, Carolyn Horley, Lisa Hughes and Ken Dubblestyne the students created the re-construction of the set from the Dickens play “Miss Havisham”.  The detail is amazing, and a great opportunity for photographers.

September, October is a busy time for photo events and during this months newsletter we have included mention of all the activities that are going on. 

First of all we would like to congratulate our Photo of the Month Winner Pierre Houle, of  a Lighting shot take over the river in Sarnia.  Congratulations Pierre, you have won a 16x24 and 11x14 enlargement from Stan C. Reade Photo.

Several new videos were added this month for Adobe Photo, the first video was Adding a film grain to your image, this is a great way to enhance a black and white image.  The next video is Creating a reflection, this is a fun project to learn as it will make you aware of many photoshop tools and layer techniques.  And then thanks to MyPhotoClub.com member Sue Southon she shared with us another way to create a Composite Image, this video takes a action images taken against a static background and compiles all the image in one composite photo.

The photo composite challenge has been extended to September 30th, 2008.  The prize for the best composite image is a copy of Adobe Lightroom 2.  We look forward to seeing your entires.
