I’m a journalist in both print and photography. There is not a lot happening these days of COVID-19 isolation. Everything seems to be ‘up in the air’. I think clouds express the situation perfectly. Here are a few vaporous images.

In preparation for retirement, I took up photography in the 90's and joined the Regina Camera Club. My photographic interests at that time was primarily wildflowers.

I moved to Kamloops in '03 and joined KPAC. I resisted the move from film to digital, however, have now succumbed to it.

I currently use both a Sony and a Nikon system. The Sony is an A700 with a 50 mm macro, a 28-105 kit lens and a 50-500 Sigma lens. The Nikon is a D300s with a Sigma 120-300 f2.8 lens My current interests are anything in nature.

David Snider is a photographer living in Kamloops, B.C. He specializes in Scenery and Floral photography. Dave has lived in B.C. almost all of his life. Born in Vancouver and relocated to Prince George in the early 70's and then relocated again to Kamloops in 1999. Throughout that time Dave has had an ongoing love of the outdoors.

Now Dave is sharing his passion for photography by offering workshops through the City of Kamloops Parks, Recreation and Cultural Activities Department and Kamloops Photo Arts Club. Dave is currently the KPAC president.

I came to the club to learn and share, each day is an adventure with technology. I had a great time on the weekend away, learning and sharing.

I have always liked the idea of taking an image from out there and capturing it, being able to store it and then able to view it at any time. The cameras that I use are, Pentax Optio WG-2, Pentax K-5 and a Pentax K-3ii. I enjoy taking pictures of anything that is kind of out of the ordinary, be it old, new, alive, stationary, mineral, vegetable, animal hell I'll take a picture of just about anything now that it cost nothing to view them. I am hoping that KPAC members will help me attain a higher level of photographic skills by sharing their experiences with me. As always keep your eye on the subject before you click.

Allan “semi-retired” in 2005 from his professional photography business. Since 1968 he has covered assignments ranging from aerial photos to weddings and included operating a commercial colour and B&W lab service. Allan holds a PPOC accreditation in Aerial Photography and a Private Pilots license. Interests such as Photography, KPAC, Skiing, Flying and travelling are now keeping him busy.

Photography has always been a form of meditation and relaxation for me. I've been doing it since the early-70s and continue to enjoy it as a way to get away while keeping my focus. I use both Nikon full-frame gear, Olympus M43 equipment, and a compact Sony that stays in my pocket for those interested in that kind of stuff. In the end it's about the images we create. If you find anything here that makes you smile, well, that's extra great! Enjoy.

I purchased a used DSLR, with kit lens, in the fall of 2016. After 3 months of watching YouTube videos on photography, I felt confidant to purchase a quality lens for bird photography. Over time, my interest in photography expanded and I started using the kit lens to take pictures of subjects other than birds and to enjoy the creativity of post processing.

I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba and fell in love with the Rocky Mountains when I moved west. I moved to Kamloops in 2007. A real passion of mine is a love for the outdoors. I enjoy capturing and sharing my digital images from my adventures such as hiking, kayaking and skiing. I am continuously on the search for that one of a kind image image. Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy!

I have been taking photographs for many years starting with Pentax and Olympus 35mm film
cameras. When digital became popular, I acquired a Canon Rebel and used it for many years.
Three years ago, I decided to try to really improve my skills and undertook a project 365 which
challenged me to take and post at least one photo each day for a year. During this time, I acquired a new Canon full frame camera and several lenses. I joined the Kamloops Photo Arts Club in 2018 to learn and grow further as a photographer and meet like minded people. I try not to limit myself to one type of photography but do gravitate to wildlife and shy away from landscape.

My photographic journey evolved from a love for travel and the outdoors. It was a natural outlet for combining creativity with outdoor pursuits which led to a desire to capture and share images so that others could experience unfamiliar landscapes and unique local gems.

I enjoy all the processes of photography; creativity, technical and post-processing. I particularly enjoy the camaraderie and meeting new people with similar interests.
Although my first love will always be landscapes and nature I find myself dabbling in and exploring a wide range of genres. I am a Canon girl and shoot with the Canon R5

I started photography at 19 and soon after began developing and printing in the darkroom. Now I continue to do so digitally. I love all aspects of photography but especially producing the final print.
Since Covid I have been staying closer to home and trying more still life, studio and macro photography. I enjoy the club as it motivates me to take more photos and I enjoy meeting and seeing other photographer's work and ideas. Please visit my website: angelinabrooymansphotography.com
