Our Focus - from your editors

A LATE Happy Halloween!!   We hope you enjoy the "macabre" photos and Halloween colours in this issue and that you had a many ghosts and goblins visit you.  (A technical glitch delayed this email a few days)

After a very busy summer wedding photography season and many corporate photography and model shoot projects, we were off to the Hawaiian Islands (twice), Los Angeles and San Diego in the last few weeks. Onroute, a visit to LA's Getty Museum and San Diego's "Old Town" were highighted by Dave's tour of the US Navy's aircraft carrier USS Midway ("amazing" ...while Anna shopped, of course). We will be visiting the South Pacific Islands, New Zealand, Australia and Bali in the new year so look forward some future "Tales" of the South Pacific.

NOVEMBER PHOTO CLASSES: For Vancouver, BC area photographers the last of our digital  photography classes this season will be a NEW Point and Shoot Digital Photography 2-evening class (for novices) at the Ferry Building Gallery (West Vancouver) on Tues Nov. 20 and Thurs. Nov. 22 (7-9:30pm;to register call 604-925-7270), a full day Intermediate Levl 2 class at the Surrey Art Gallery on Sunday Nov. 18 ((;30am04pm, to register 604-501-5100) and lastly, a 2-evening  Intermediate Digital Photography class at the Kerrisdale Comminity Centre on Mondays Nov. 19 & 26. 7-9:30pm (to register call 604-257-8100; their civic labour dispute is now over and this class will run if enough people register)

FUTURE CLASSES:To view our up to date class and lecture schedule for the Winter 2007/early Spring 2008 season scroll down or click here. Classes have been programmed for the Kerrisdale Community Centre now that the civic labour strike is over. Note that some early 2008 dates have been recently changed.

New Photographer Tip:      Digital Photo Albums

A new way to share your digital images is to use suppliers with on line digital photo album services. By uploading your selected images with easy to use templates, your images are printed directly on to the album pages and you have a one of a kind coffee table book delivered directly to your doorstep in just a few days. 

Most suppliers provide templates and instructions for free. Album cost is amazingly very low!  A hard cover book with 20 pages (40 sides printed) and about 100 images can cost as little as $30.00 plus shipping (or less!!). Some recommended suppliers:

A major photo finishing supllier with a hugh web presenece, they have inexpensive photo books and many other products. Click here

MPIX

 With a easy to use but comprensive design template, this MPIX provides both paper, linen and pearl type paper stock for a high quality digital photo album. Other products are available. Click here

Enthusiast Photographer Tip  Using light 

Ancient alcchemists searched for the philosophers' stone to turn lead into gold. The philospphers' stone for photographers is LIGHT and its proper use will also turn your images into GOLD. A photographer that understands light becomes a better photographer - in a flash! Once you become aware of the quality of light in your scene you will become a fabulous photographer! Important factors affecting light are:

  • Time of day
  • Direction
  • Colour
  • Soft or Hard
  • Natural or artifical

Remember that the human eye and camera film or digital sensors do not always record the same thing.
