It was originally created by American author Daniel O’Keefe. O’Keefe created the day to commemorate his first date with his wife in 1966. The concept of Festivus was </span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">mainly meant as an alternative to the pressures and commercialization of the Christmas season.</span></span></span></span></div>

Festivus was featured </span><span style="color: #333333;">in a Season 9 episode titled “The Strike”.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4) Most of the Festivi in the O’Keefe family had a theme. One was, “Is there light at the end of the tunnel”.</span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are planning a Spring Photo Tour to the
Adirondack Park for May 31 – Jun. 4, 2019. I’ve purposely scheduled this trip
around a new moon to take advantage of the night sky opportunities. In addition
to night scenes, this area has plentiful and classical Adirondack scenery,
wildlife, wildflowers potentially rewarding us vibrant sunrises and spectacular
sunsets. Although this time of year does not present the mystical mist and fog that
is experienced in late summer through the fall we may get surprised.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Personally
I have photographed in this area however I am not as familiar with it as I am
of the Central Lakes region. The High Peaks Region are also within driving
distance which provide amazing mountain range possibilities. I’ll do my best to
have a flexible bank of opportunities and I’m sure we won’t be disappointed. The
Night Sky in the Adirondacks is magical especially with the New Moon happening
on June. 3. With clear skies the Milky Way will be very visible. </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bokeh - In
photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the
out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as
"the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light. To blur the image

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While the rule of
thirds is the most widely known composition rule, there’s another principal
that plays a big role in composing images with that wow factor; the golden
ratio. Google “golden ratio”. Sometimes called the “Golden Spiral”. Place a
point of interest on the smallest part of the spiral, the eye will naturally
flow through the rest of the image.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

There is nothing as vibrant as early spring green foliage in Infrared. Within the next 2 to 3 weeks we will be in what I call the prime Infrared Season.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you attended the recent CanAm Photo Expo in Niagara Falls this past weekend, you may have witnessed some spectacular Infrared Imagery by Tony Sweet among others.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have 2 LifePixel Infrared converted Nikon D200’s for sale. One is a super colour (590 nm) conversion and the other is a Deep B&W conversion. These are being sold at a reduced price of $550 each firm including battery and charger. When you consider a cost of $525 to send away a camera body that you may have laying around collecting dust for conversion, this is a hassle free steal of a deal that will get you started in Digital IR photography.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the great advantages of the D200 is that it is one of the most efficient Nikon bodies in setting a custom White Balance which is absolutely crucial to Digital IR photography.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a bonus, I will throw in a day workshop of IR shooting and post processing, at no charge to get you on the path to IR magic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lenses are extremely critical for IR photography. I also have available a Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens which is a phenomenal lens for both colour and IR photography.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If interested please don’t delay because the prime IR Season is around the corner and I have already sold off 2 other bodies in the past week.</span><br />

<span style="background: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Subjects will include colourful early and late
light landscapes, typical spring wildflowers and classic Adirondacks scenes. The
lighting at the edges of the day also tend to be clear and vibrant. Although
this time of year does not present the mystical mist and fog that is
experienced in late summer through the fall we may get surprised.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Due to its popularity we have again arranged a visit to the Butterfly Conservatory for Saturday Mar. 3, 2018. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">As in the past, we have been granted exclusive access to the facility from 8:00 am until 10:00 am. During this time we can use our tripods. At 10:00 am the Conservatory opens to the general public and they ask that we put our tripods away. An added bonus is that we are welcome to spend the day at the conservatory after it is opened to the general public. Another bonus as a result of changes to image entry rules, your butterfly photos can be entered in the Nature Category as well as any of the open or special competition categories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Nov. 25 please join me for a walk-about in Niagara on the Lake. We will focus on trying to "shoot like Richard Martin". We will concentrate on in-camera image design and the minimalist and abstract style that Richard Martin attempts to capture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are interested in joining us, we will meet at the corner in front of the Prince of Wales Hotel in Niagara on the Lake at 9:00 am. For those interested we can grab a quick lunch at the Harp Irish Pub afterwords in the "Olde Towne".</span><br />

planning our annual excursion to experience one of Ontario’s photographic
gems. We are changing the timing of our visit this year to the weekday’s vs. an
extended weekend. This is being done to avoid the increase in crowds that we’ve
been experiencing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

through Friday June 9 inclusive, 2017. This trip will provide opportunities to
expand your nature image portfolio. Some of the subject material that can be
expected are sunrise/sunsets, grand scenic land/seascapes, wild flowers
(several varieties of Orchids, Lakeside Daisies, Indian Paintbrush, Columbine, etc.),
lighthouses and old stuff. </span></div>

focus staking, panoramas, long exposures, and photographing the night sky. The
moon phase will be moving from First Quarter (Jun. 1) through to Full (Jun. 9).
Even with the influence of moonlight in the Night Sky, we will still have
opportunity for some interesting nightscapes.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Due to its popularity we have again arranged
a visit to the Butterfly Conservatory for Saturday Mar. 4, 2017. As in the
past, we have been granted exclusive access to the facility from 8:00 am until
10:00 am. During this time we can use our tripods. At 10:00 am the Conservatory
opens to the general public and they ask that we put our tripods away. An added
bonus is that we are welcome to spend the day at the conservatory after it is
opened to the general public. Another bonus as a result of changes to image
entry rules, your butterfly photos can be entered in the Nature Category as
well as any of the open or special competition categories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you intend to participate it is <b><u>very important</u></b>
that you let me know ASAP via <a href="mailto:dave.lindey@gmail.com">email</a> or by adding your name to the sign-up sheet
that will be available at the Feb. 8, 2017, club meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I realize this is short notice however I have arranged an amazing opportunity to visit an Abandoned Aqueduct in Rochester NY on Saturday Nov. 26. The outing is being guided by an local who has visited many times. The cost for our group is $200 US and there will be a maximum of 10 photographers who will share in the cost. If you are interested please <a href="mailto:dave.lindey@gmail.com" target="_blank">let me know</a> ASAP otherwise I will postpone the outing to another time.</span><br />

<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We will meet our guide for 1:00 pm and have 3 to
3-1/2 hours underground. After we are done photographing there is a very good BBQ restaurant nearby within
walking distance for dinner for those interested <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The space is very dark and HDR will likely be the technique you use along with some gentle light painting using small flashlights.</span></span></div>

Once again Leigh Dayboll will be leading Nature Hikes in the Niagara Region. Read on for more.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shorthills and the surrounding Niagara Escarpment are beautiful to photograph this time of the year! I am once again going to be running a (mostly) twice-weekly photo meet-up and walk in the various scenic areas around Shorthills Provincial Park and the Niagara Escarpment during the Fall 2015 photography season. We will be offering a wide range of tours this year, from easy to strenuous (but never life threatening). We will be shooting beautiful fall landscapes, wil<wbr></wbr>dlife and, hopefully, lots of colour. I guarantee that you will discover many interesting spots and subjects that you would never otherwise find on your own. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>New this year:</strong> This year, the mid-week hikes will occur on "non-camera-club-Wednesdays" (meaning every Wednesday except the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month). That way, every Wednesday this fall can be devoted to improving your photography skills. The Saturday hikes will usually take about 2-1/2 hours and the Wednesday hikes generally take around 1-1/4 hours. We have some special mid-October dates planned in and around Niagara on the two most likely colour weekends in mid-October, so those tours may be a bit longer in length . Hopefully, we will see some members up from the other local clubs for some friendly, competitive shooting. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Come and join in on the fun! Tentatively, hikes will be held on the three listed Wednesdays as long as the light is good and it is not pouring rain, and each Saturday morning (until Nov 19<wbr></wbr>th) commencing at 9:00 am sharp as long as it is not pouring rain. Don't let cloudy or stormy weather be a deterrent. Those are often the best days to shoot fall colours and waterfalls. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Here is my tentative calendar of events (be sure to check the Welland Camera Club Events Blog each week as dates draw near, since weather conditions and last minute changes are inevitable:</div>

The peak fall colours will be slightly past prime at this time however the Tamarack population should be at their peak in displaying vibrant Golden colours. The lighting at the edges of the day also tends to be vibrant and further enhanced by mystical mist and fog at this time of the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Night Sky is also magical in this region however with a Full Moon on Oct. 16 the Milky Way will most likely not be visible. While the Milky Way may not be a prime subject, the stars in the West to North to East skies however will be vivid and abundant and when combined with the influence of the bright moon the astro-landscape promises to be compelling ... clear skies permitting. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Once
again this year we are planning our annual excursion to experience one of <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ontario</st1:place></st1:state>’s photographic
gems. We are planning our Annual Photo Tour to Tobermory, ON for June 2 to 5,
2015. This trip will provide opportunities to expand your nature image
portfolio. Some of the subject material that can be expected are
sunrise/sunsets, grand scenic land/seascapes, wild flowers (several varieties
of Orchids, Lakeside Daisies, Indian Paintbrush, Columbine, etc), lighthouses
and old stuff. Among the usual techniques we will attempt landscape focus
staking, long exposures, and night photography for those interested. I’ll have
a couple of Nikon IR-Converted bodies with me for loan if you want to try your
hand at digital IR.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">We will have a behind the scenes tour of the factory where we will learn the steps involved in producing picture frames and mouldings. They will be giving suggestions for framing and matting black and white as well as color photographs, talking about photos on canvas and answering any questions you may have.</span></div>
