Chatham – Thames River Floods

17 02 2009

Chatham has had one of its worst floods in recent memory with waters of the Thames River reaching a peak of 16.3 feet above normal.  Many homes and businesses along the river suffered a lot of damaged.  I though I would share some of the photos I took of the flood.

More images of the flood can be found at my PBase site.





Chatham Camera Club Workshop

17 02 2009

I had a great time at the Chatham Camera Club workshop on Feb 10, 2009.  It has been a while since I was able to attend a meeting (due to personal reasons) and it was great see some familiar faces as well as a tonne of new faces in the crowd. 

The workshop had  a number of different areas where members could learn some tips on photography.  Personally I really enjoyed the lighting setup from Les.  Interesting to see how such a simple setup can produce fantastic results.   No need to spend hundreds of dollars on a fancy lighting system to capture great photos.   Here are a few of the shots I took during the evening.
