A busy week is ahead! Join us tonight, Tuesday, November 3, for a travel photography presentation, then look ahead to next Tuesday’s club presentation, and make room in your calendar for two photo submission deadlines on Thursday.
Whether you’re ready to upload images or simply want an evening of photography and ideas, there’s a place for you at the club.
Tonight: The Philippines with Nina Henry
Tonight, Nina Henry (Saskatoon) presents “The Philippines: The Joy and Challenge of Travel Photography.” The meeting runs 7:00–9:00 p.m. at McClure United Church.
It’s a chance to spend an evening thinking about travel photography: the stories you notice, the moments you choose to capture, and the challenges that come with photographing somewhere new. Check the event page for details.
Next Tuesday: The Excitement of Critiquing
On Tuesday, November 10, join us for “The Excitement of Critiquing,” a presentation by Maurice Vold of Saskatoon. Maurice is our club president, and we’re looking forward to welcoming him as he shares this presentation with the club.
The meeting runs 7:00–9:00 p.m. at McClure United Church, 4025 Taylor Street East, Saskatoon. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Critiquing can help you look at photographs with fresh eyes: what holds your attention, how the composition guides you through the frame, and what choices might strengthen the image. It’s also a reminder that sharing work and hearing different perspectives are valuable parts of growing as a photographer.
Read the event details for “The Excitement of Critiquing”, and bring your curiosity. You don’t need to be an expert to take part in a club evening.
Two deadlines: Thursday, November 5
Both submissions are online and close at 10:00 p.m. Saskatoon time on Thursday, November 5. If you’re entering, leave yourself time to check the requirements and complete your upload.
Street Photography Photo Review: up to two images
Submit up to two digital Street Photography entries for the Photo Review.
A Photo Review is an opportunity to share images and consider them through discussion and feedback. If you submit, keep Tuesday, November 17 in mind too: submitting members must attend the related Street Photography Photo Review that evening. You don’t need to have attended the related Live Shoot to submit.
Find the deadline details on the Street Photography Photo Review submission page.
Fall Competition – Still Life: one monochrome image
For the Fall Competition, submit one digital Still Life entry. This image must be monochrome, in the spirit of the club’s 90th anniversary.
Before you upload, confirm that your entry follows the monochrome requirement. Visit the Still Life submission deadline page for details.
For both deadlines, use the club’s online submissions page. You can also check the full submission deadline list before planning future entries.
Looking further ahead: November 17 and 26
Tuesday, November 17: Street Photography Review Night
The Street Photography Photo Review takes place at McClure on Tuesday, November 17. This is a members-only event. If you submit images for this review, plan to attend; taking part in the related Live Shoot is not a requirement for submitting.
See the Review Night event page.
Thursday, November 26: three competitions
A trio of competition deadlines arrives on Thursday, November 26, at 10:00 p.m. Saskatoon time:
- Summer Fun: submit one digital image.
- Fall Field Trip: submit one digital image.
- Treasure Hunt: submit one complete set of five digital images, one for each topic: The Letter H, Harvest Gold, Hang, Horse, and Hat. Keep post-processing and manipulation minimal.
Members will vote on these three competitions online. If you’re working on a Treasure Hunt set, review all five topics and the entry requirements on the November 26 deadline page.
Join us at McClure
The club meets on selected Tuesdays from September through April, typically 7:00–9:00 p.m., at McClure United Church, 4025 Taylor Street East, Saskatoon. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Use the east door nearest the parking lot; free parking is available.
New to the club? Your first meeting is free. We welcome photographers at every experience level, whether you’re just getting started or have been making photographs for years. Check the club calendar for upcoming meetings and event details.
Make a plan for this week
Come along tonight for Nina Henry’s travel photography presentation, save November 10 for Maurice Vold’s talk, and mark Thursday, November 5, at 10:00 p.m. if you’re submitting for either deadline.
Choose an image, review the requirements, and give yourself enough time to upload. We’d love to see you at the club, and we’re excited to share the month’s photographs, ideas, and conversations with you.
