Hello Everyone,

NEXT MEETING

I have arranged for us to have a summer meeting on Thursday July 12 in the Aurora Public Library Optimist Room, which is located inside the library.  The meeting will be between 7:00 pm - 8:45 pm.   Just be aware that there will be no June meeting.  On the agenda for the July 12 meeting will be a  discussion on the summer Walkabout itinerary, critiquing of  the "On The Street" monthly challenge images, as well as a brief look at the principles of HDR and software to use for HDR photography.

NEW LOGO

As many of you have probably noticed the new APL Camera Club logo is now live!  Many thanks to Deborah Barley who volunteered her time to design the logo,  the membership card, as well as the APLCC information card.  I have posted all of these on the front page of the website for you to look at.

WALKABOUT ITINERARY

I will be working on an itinerary for the summer walkabouts.  The following places are a possibility:

• St. Jacobs & Elora Gorge
• Scarborough Bluffs
• Sharon Temple
• Mono Cliffs
• Guildwood Park Scarborough
• High Park & Roncessvales
• Cheltenham Badlands
• Mcleans Auto Wreckers

I will post a definitive schedule in the next couple of weeks.  If anyone has any more ideas for good places to photograph, and which are relatively easy to access, please post it on the forum in the Interesting Places for Outings thread.

APLCC MEETING APRIL 26

Thanks to everyone who came out to the April 26 meeting. It was great to see Rob Brown's photographic creations and hear a bit about his workflow.

TWO MEETINGS IN THE MONTH OF MAY

Since we didn’t have the opportunity to critique the "Spring" entries for April's Monthly Challenge on April 26, I have arranged for us to meet twice in May to go over these entries. There was some consensus during the meeting that we should meet on May 24 for the additional meeting. Unfortunately, the room is already booked for that date but I did manage to book the Magna Room for May 17 between 7-9 p.m. I’ll send out reminders closer to the dates of May’s meetings: May 17 and May 31st.

WALKABOUT #2

The next walkabout will be at Fairy Lake and on Main Street, Newmarket, on June 2. As before, we’ll meet at 10 a.m. at the Tim Horton's on Wellington (304 Wellington Street East), next to St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic School, in Aurora. Rides to Newmarket can be arranged at that time for those who need them.

To get a count of the people who would like to participate, I've set up a signup page. You can get to the signup page by going to the Registration #2 in the main menu under “Calendar.” There will also be a block linking to the signup page on the APLCC homepage.  Please be aware that you need to be logged in to register.

MONTHLY CHALLENGE FOR MAY

The May Monthly Challenge is "Abandoned/Used Up” and there are already some excellent submissions on the site. So check them out and upload yours whenever you like!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all on May 17.

Regards,

Ronen
