Hello Everyone!

In case you have not had a chance to check the Darkroom 116 facebook group, here are the events coming up in the next few weeks. You can scroll down to read about each of the events. 

Campus walkabout: 

If you are a new member and haven't been to a walkabout with us yet, this will be a great chance to experience taking pictures with other photographers and exercise your creative muscles. We will be bringing a few extra film cameras with us for those of you who don't have cameras yet but want to try out film photography. we will have a few 12 exposure rolls of 400 iso film ready for you which are $3 each. 

If you have been a member of the club for a while and haven't had the chance to come to a lot of events lately, this will be a great chance to get back into photography and help out new photographers as well. 

We will start from the darkroom at 5 pm and go around campus to take pictures. We might go to the Wallace building and/or the fine arts building.

Editing workshop  

One of our members who have more experience with editing portraits has volunteered to do this workshop. She will be giving us some tips and tricks for editing methods that would give a natural look for portraits. The workshop will be held on the main floor (level 200) of the Engineering building E3 in room 270. 

 Photo composition and Critical analysis workshop  

 Dom Kwok is going to cover what makes a composition or breaks it, go over some sample images and then analyze some of the member's photos to show how we're doing and how it can be improved. We're talking about 20 submissions for the *anonymous* analysis and you can send your photos to umphotoclub@gmail.com. 
P.S.You don't need to submit anything to attend.
Stay tuned about the location  

 Maskwa trip

The Maskwa trip is an annual photo club event. The club organizes a 2-night winter retreat to a cabin in Maskwa, Manitoba to get to know other members better, and to take great photographs of the serene Manitoba landscapes in winter. 

This year we have booked the cabin for 2 nights and 3 days. We will try to be at the cabin as early as possible on Monday morning and we will leave before Wednesday night.

The costs for the trip are $60 per person. The cabin charges are $30 per person ($15 per night). The additional $30 will go towards food and other accommodations. We will be able to fit 20-25 people in the cabin so I would suggest contacting us as soon as possible if you are interested. The Maskwa trip is a photoclub tradition for the club's paid members. If you are able to help out with organizing the trip or are willing and able to carpool let us know as soon as possible.
