KPAC organizes regular photoshoots as well as field trips and special events to explore a variety of places and activities of interest to our members. In addition, from time to time, we hold workshops on a specific photographic genre. Here are some photo memories of these fun events.
Desert Hills Farm Market offers a variety of photo opportunities – lovely garden produce, farm animals and a pumpkin patch to name a few.
For the summer photo challenge, shoot the same subject in at least 3 different ways. For example, colour, black and white, double exposure, near/far perspective, low key, high key, intentional camera movement or any other variation you come up with.
On this evening, members displayed several of their photo works in print. Framed art, cards and books were on display for members and guests to enjoy and discuss. It was an enjoyable evening at an art gallery like occasion.
