Membership Fee Increase

In April 2022, the CAPA Board approved the first increase in membership fees since 2013. The fees have been the same for almost ten years.

During that time, more benefits were added to CAPA membership, including the new Speaker Series, the monthly newsletter, enhanced and more accessible website, and social media pages for members to engage in the photographic community. CAPA continues to offer a wide variety of competitions exclusively for CAPA members and clubs, at no charge.

At the same time, costs have increased in all areas, but especially for printing and distributing the much-loved Canadian Camera Magazine. Even with all that is offered to members today, CAPA still remains entirely volunteer-run with no outside funding. Your volunteers work very hard to bring you the best membership experience CAPA can offer.

You are getting this notice now so that there is some time before the increase takes effect. Members who renew before January 1, 2023, even members who renew early, will have an additional full year of membership at the old rate. This is a one-time opportunity to get your membership renewed early at the old rate before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st.

Here are the new rates as of January 1, 2023:

  • Individual Memberships: $75
  • Family Memberships: $95
  • International Memberships: $60
  • International US Memberships: $85
  • Youth Memberships: $30
  • Libraries, Schools & Associations: $50
  • Small, Medium & Large Clubs: no increase ($65, $100 & $130)

SCCC President Steps Down

Phil Cunnington of the Sunshine Coast Camera Club (SCCC) will be stepping down from his role as the president.  He took on this role about 8 years ago and has remained in this position until his planned departure in June of this year. When he initially took on this role, the membership only included people who had a common photography interest and wanted to gather together. The club transitioned to include photographers of all degrees of skills. (When Phil joined SCCC, the club was known as Sunshine Coast Shutterbugz).  As the club grew, so did the need for an executive. So a couple of years ago an executive was formed to assist in formalizing structures and processes. Phil tirelessly devoted much of his time to ensure that this club ran smoothly and efficiently over these years.

Phil’s role as President included planning yearly programs, meetings and photography activities for the members. He was instrumental in the constant growth of the club by promoting community awareness. This included writing articles for the local newspaper and having the club involved in local photography galleries.

This past year, during the pandemic, he focused on keeping the club active and vibrant by being an integral part of the BC/Yukon InterClub Speaker Series. He also transitioned the club’s in-person meetings over to Zoom, bringing in prominent speakers, allowing members to continue to learn, share and develop their shared love of photography.

The members of SCCC are grateful for Phil’s untiring dedication to the Sunshine Coast Camera Club.

BC/Yukon Inter-Club Speaker Series

Following their own success in adopting Zoom to continue and expand their club meetings during the pandemic, the North Shore Photographic Society (NSPS Vancouver) invited several B.C. and Yukon camera clubs to an initial meeting to share their success and encourage other clubs to consider similar strategies.

Club participation at the monthly meetings grew during the summer of 2020 and it wasn’t long before the idea of joint-club presentations was suggested. A task force was struck and the foundation of the BC/ Yukon Inter-Club Speaker Series evolved.

The Victoria Camera Club (VCC) already had experience in presenting Zoom sessions to their large membership and offered to host these Zoom presentations. CAPA Pacific Zone Director Lynda Miller provided funds to upgrade VCC’s Zoom licence for larger audiences.

Details were resolved on how this speaker series would be funded between the clubs to provide honorariums to the featured photographers. It was also agreed that presenters for this series be prominent Canadian photographers. To date, 27 camera clubs representing about 1,400 members across B.C. and the Yukon are participating.

With a club meeting schedule already established, the Victoria Camera Club suggested the first speaker in the series be Richard Martin. More than 700 club members registered for Martin’s presentation “Visual Rhythm: Lines & Curves,” which he presented live from Ontario.

Throughout his presentation, his photographs demonstrated his unique vision, a personal style characterised by a strong sense of composition, colour and the use of light. Each photograph is a study in composition, as he will view the subject from all angles and perspectives. He likes to combine his architectural love of geometry, pattern and texture with a painter’s sensitivity to colour, light and composition.

In early January 2021, our second speaker in the series featured acclaimed wildlife photographer Jeffrey Wu, presented by the Sunshine Coast Camera Club. Jeffrey was able to provide live commentary from his safari location in Masai Mari National Reserve in Kenya, while his photo slides were presented locally to maintain excellent image quality to the 600 registrants. Based on his theme of “How to tell a Nature Story” Jeffrey amazed the audience with stunning images of African wildlife across a diverse array of visual settings. Be it fur or feathers, Jeffrey has a deep knowledge and understanding of animal behaviour such that he can likely predict what will happen next and be ready to capture that split-second of action or that feeling of deep emotion.

Working under a variety of different lighting conditions, he demonstrated different techniques for different situations. Sharing insights on technique, camera equipment and settings, his presentation was both educational and inspiring. Jeffrey’s approach to wildlife photography is to push it to the next level. Not content with mostly sedentary subjects, he aims to convey more meaning to his photos by getting as close as possible to capture facial expressions. Landscapes across the savannah also provide him with opportunities to reflect on the vastness of the terrain, while capturing wildlife against threatening skies or against stunning sunsets.

Feedback from many of the attendees at the two sessions strongly indicate this speaker series should be continued beyond what is already planned. Laura Letinsky and George Barr are the two upcoming speakers who will be presenting in March and May 2021.

Phil Cunnington,

President , Sunshine Coast Camera Club

The structured repetition of elements (rhythm pattern) over a specific area (the picture space) has an effect on the way we look at and interpret a photograph. Rhythm also has the power to directly establish an emotional response in the viewer. In this photo, the graceful and fluid arrangement of softly flowing lines of a boat and its reflection quickly establishes a rhythmic structure and provides basic order to the composition.

Nouvelles de la Zone Québec de novembre

Démarrage de la nouvelle équipe de la zone du Québec
Une première rencontre (virtuelle via ZOOM) a été organisée par Pierre Vézina, nouveau directeur en poste depuis juillet dernier, avec les membres de son équipe de la zone du Québec. Les participants ont eu l’occasion de se présenter, de faire brièvement connaissance et de discuter du plan d’action et des priorités 2020-2021 de l’ACAP-Québec. Ce fut aussi l’occasion de souhaiter la bienvenue à 2 nouveaux représentants de districts, Jocelyn Jeffrey pour la « Capitale nationale, Chaudière-Appalaches et le Centre-du-Québec », et Denis Landry pour le district des « Laurentides ». Deux nouveaux clubs se sont également joints récemment à l’ACAP, le Club photo de Verdun et le Club photo des pays d’en haut.

Situation pandémique : certaines activités ont dû être reportées…
La COVID-19 a de nouveau perturbé quelques activités prévues à l’agenda. En effet, le cours en français de jugement de photos de l’ACAP, prévu fin octobre à Montréal et organisé par le Club photo impression, a dû encore une fois être annulé et reporté au printemps 2021. De même, le « Gala des prix FOCUS Desjardins » organisé par le Musée national de la photo Desjardins de Drummondville et qui devait se tenir le 5 décembre 2020, a aussi dû être reporté au 27 février 2021.

…tandis que d’autres ont pu être réalisées.
Quelques initiatives promotionnelles ont néanmoins été réalisées cet automne : une présentation de l’ACAP par le directeur de la zone du Québec, le 6 octobre 2020, aux quelques 25 membres du Club photo sépia (Val-Bélair – Québec) et une présentation de la méthodologie de jugement de photo de l’ACAP par Jocelyn Jeffrey, le 7 octobre 2020, aux membres du Club photo dimension (Québec).

November Quebec Zone News

New Québec Zone Team launches its activities
An initial virtual meeting (via Zoom) of the Québec Zone Team was organized and led by Pierre Vézina, newly appointed Zone Director since last July. The participants had the chance to introduce themselves, to briefly get to know their colleagues and to discuss priorities and a plan of action for CAPA-Québec 2020–2021. Two new district representatives were also welcomed, Jocelyn Jeffrey for the “Capitale nationale, Chaudière-Appalaches et le Centre-du-Québec” district, and Denis Landry for the “Laurentides” district. Two new clubs have joined CAPA as well, the Club photo de Verdun and the Club photo des pays d’en haut.

The pandemic caused some activities to be postponed…
COVID-19 was again responsible for upsetting the agenda of some planned activities. The French CAPA judging course, organized by the Club photo impression and thought to be held at the end of October, was once again cancelled and tentatively rescheduled for spring 2021. The “Gala des prix FOCUS Desjardins” organized by the Musée national de la photo Desjardins of Drummondville which was to take place on 5 December 2020 has also had to be delayed until 27 February 2021.

…while others were carried out.
Some promotional initiatives were nevertheless realized this fall: a presentation of CAPA by the Québec Zone director on 6 October 2020 to 25 or so members of the Club photo sépia (Val-Bélair – Québec) and a presentation of CAPA’s photo judging methodology by Jocelyn Jeffrey on 7 October 2020 in front of the members of the Club photo dimension (Québec).
