Quick Link: Photo Submissions

Showcase, the last meeting of each month from September to May, is when KPAC members share images – past, present and “The Challenge”.

The Challenge encourages members to step out of their comfort zone, focus on a topic and exercise their creativity. It is those bits of neurons lurking behind the photographer’s eye that sees the picture. Right?

The following list identifies the showcase themes and schedule for the current membership year. Themes are deliberately cryptic to exercise your photographic eye.

Showcase themes for the coming year (2025 -2026) are designed not only to challenge your imagination skills but also various photographic techniques. Have Fun! 

For inspiration on the themes see the write-up below the list.

Note: You are welcome to submit ideas for next year’s showcases and challenges to any Leadership Committee member. Click the Contact Us link at the top of this page for contact information.

SHOWCASE INSPIRATION

Showcase themes are based on capturing opportunities within the previous month or two. Time of year has been considered regarding available light conditions and subject matter.

What is Summer to You – September
Family, travel, gardens, campouts, summer sports, rest and relaxation are all part of the summer season to capture. 

Colours of Nature – October
This time of year displays colour like no other everywhere you look. Perhaps try some macro photos along with the sweeping landscapes of colour.

Phonography – November
We all carry cell phones in our pockets these days that can quickly take family pictures, night scenes, landscapes, and out the car window pics much quicker than getting the full gear out. Slow Shutter and Snapseed are a couple of apps to try.

All Things Red & Green – December
Decorations, lights, parcels, feasts and fashion, there is red and green everywhere at this time of year. 

On Ice – January
All snow and ice sports, culinary, and weather can keep your photographer self busy this winter.

Love is in the Air – February
Kids are making Valentine’s cards, flowers and chocolates are being given, fancy dining and of course date nights. Don’t forget the weddings! 

Black and White – March
Typically a somewhat dull month so go Black and White….anything goes! Perhaps try a long exposure? 

Our Amazing Planet – April
April 22, 2026 is Earth Day so let’s get out and record the world around us, after all we live in Beautiful BC. 

New Beginnings – May
Babies, birdies, and puppies or how about new construction, crafts, budding vegetation and gardens.  Think roads and doorways as these can lead to new opportunities or beginnings.
