WELLAND CAMERA CLUB


Updated: June 24, 2009


SUMMER


Message from the President



The summer season is the best time to build up your inventory of images for the coming camera club season. The days are longer, the weather is pleasant, we tend to have more time outdoors, and more photographic opportunities present themselves. All the other seasons are great for taking photographs, but the weather and other commitments tend to get in the way.

Make it a habit to carry a camera wherever you go so you do not miss any opportunities you may come across. Set aside some time each week where you can enjoy your hobby.

Niagara is a great source of endless photographic opportunities from architectural structures to the mystery of natural areas. Take advantage of some outings that will be listed below. Our club may not meet on a regular basis throughout the summer, but we are still very active and welcome all that my want to participate.

Outings


MotoX Race at Gopher Dunes

Weekend of July 18, 19


Some of our members are trying to organize an outing for one of the two days. A bunch went last year and got some good action pictures. If you are interested in going, get your name on the list by sending me an email at wellandcameraclub@gmail.com. I will post updates as this outing gets organized.

You can get more information on the race at www.cmrcracing.com and www.gopherdunes.com.
