The summer meetings are held at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month.  This year, that will be June 14, July 12, and August 9.  

You are the program, so get those images ready!  Bring from one to thirty images, or an AV presentation of up to seven minutes. Go to https://www.raphotoclub.ca/upload/showcase to upload your images.  

At these remote summer meetings, we will try to act as if we are actually in Courtside B at the RA Centre. You will have control and be able to show your images at your own pace.

The only difference is that you will have to upload your images ahead of time, so that they can be installed on the Big Blue Button server.

You can download detailed instructions here:

Of course, you don't have to show images to attend the meeting.

We are using the CAPA definition of Nature which can be found in “Nature Definitions/Competition Details” at https://capacanada.ca/2022-nature-la-nature/. Please note that a limited amount of ‘Hand-of-Man’ is permitted in some categories of Nature, but you need to read the definition carefully to see what is and what is not allowed in specific situations.

This competition is for system testing only

A photo essay is a form of visual storytelling, a way to present a narrative through a series of images that can evoke emotion and understanding without using words.

Here we are looking for 3 images that work together as a group and explore a theme, a place, an emotional mood, or a vision. There is no restriction on subject matter. The three images should be either all in colour or in b/w. Should you wish, you may add a short descriptive title to the set of images.

A photographic portrait which is a representation of a living person, especially the face, or a photograph in which the subject, the human body, is the primary interest.

Entries are limited to posed photographs of one or more human beings. The backgrounds may include statues or paintings of people provided that these are not the primary subject. Pet and animal portraits are excluded. There are no restrictions on location (indoors or outdoors) nor on lighting (ambient or artificial), however both must be considered and controlled.

We are using the CAPA definition for this topic. In terms of the topic CAPA says "This competition and its themes are aimed at providing photographers with the opportunity to exercise their creative skills: to capture outstanding and stunning images in areas that may be out of their comfort zones. Images submitted into this competition can be staged or candid.” It also suggests that the images should fall into one of the following five themes: The Cold, Man-made Structures/Objects, Culinary, Active Seniors, and Nature/Wildlife. A more detailed explanation of each of these themes can be found under Competition Details/Definition at https://capacanada.ca/2023-fall-winter-dautomne-2023/

Your photograph should capture the state or situation of being alone, or of a lonely and uninhabited place.

For this competition we are seeking images which symbolize our unique Canadian identity and the beauty of our country. CAPA suggests some ideas for this topic might be: cultural heritage; geographical uniqueness; historical events or locations; iconic landscape/cityscape; roughness of Canadian landscape; seasonal uniqueness; symbols of caring, confidence, courage, encouraging, helping others, nurturing, pride, respect, self-sacrifice and trust; nature; wildlife specific to Canada and architecture.

Whether this competition is held will depend on a decision by the Executive Council to allow in-person meetings.
