Vermillion Lakes field trip (Banff National Park) - Sunday July 31
The field trip was very successful despite some challenges. The photos below indicate the two largest of the challenges: the mosquitoes were horrible, and it rained off and on for most of the evening. However, the rain offered some interesting opportunities for photography as shown by the photos below.

Rain presents some unusual opportunities in composition with differing light, textures and patterns appearing on the water surface. Other samples of water patterns are shown below.

Often, patterns are where we least think of looking. Water and wood give interesting combinations of patterns in the photos above.

The photos above show some nice creative use of the textured wood at the lake shore, as well as incorporating the iconic Mount Rundle in the background. Texture is also well used in the photo frames- well done!

Walker Dojo moves to Vermillion Lakes! The Canmore Camera Club is lucky enough to have a member who is skilled in kendo to model his attire. Below are a sample of the photos taken at the kendo shoot.
