Glacier Camera Club

We are in luck!  We were able to book the library meeting room again for our June 9th meeting. Please allow each member to comment on their own photos first....each photo has a story to tell.     Our May meeting was full of discoveries.   Gary found a fox den with four adorable kits playing while their parents were out, and showed photos of pronghorn wrestling, and bighorn sheep together with wild horses! Dee found objects shaped like letters of the alphabet - which I recommend as a visual exercise - much harder and much more fun than expected.   Madelynne found a new waterfall - West Fork Falls on the Kootenai Forest, and was able to capture this spring's aurora in spite of a stiff wind.  My favorites were her atmospheric frost images. The Lens of Ed Gilliland show at the Northwest Montana History Museum was fun and impressive with lots of character, kind of like Ed himself.  It was a heartwarming gathering of friends of Ed as well as a remarkabl...

  Next week we will have our monthly meeting May 12th, Thursday at 6 PM at the Whitefish Library.   Wed, May 11th at the Northwest Montana History Museum in Kalispell , there will be a slideshow and art display of Ed Gilliland's work .   After a six-month delay, the Northwest Montana History Museum is proud to present a much anticipated, can't-miss showing of the E.B. Gilliland Photography Collection. The Museum will be offering a glace through The Lens of Ed Gilliland on Wednesday, May 11th, from 7 to 9 pm at the Northwest Montana History Museum. Photography historian and NWMTHS board member Arne Boveng will present a “analog film night” of Ed s photography as the main event of the evening and an unofficial public unveiling of this remarkable collection. This will not be your typical digital or Kodak Carousel slide show - all the slides that Arne will present are larger format, at least two or three times larger than the typical 35 mm. The brilliance, clarity, ...

     The current cold snap did not deter our April gathering of enthusiastic photographers!   Fortunately, we will again be able to use the community room at the Whitefish Library for our May meeting, Thursday, May 12 at 6 pm.  Join us! Gary brought his huge shimmering prints of wildlife in Africa, including an elegant image of the largest antelope specie.  After admiring for a while, you notice the oxpecker on its back!   --Dee Myrna gave us a head start on spring with brilliant flower photos, bighorn portraits, and the Garden of One Thousand Buddhas. Also frozen in time were some bicycles found by our newest member Corky, along with frame-filling graceful birds, cosmopolitan images, and a fresh composition in Washington DC. Dee froze a moment in time at a stream in Glacier Park and the huge powder dump of Big Mountain's closing day. After terrifying us with captures of ski jouring falls and crashes, Marguerite reassured us that no people or animals w...

Just a quick update to post our next meeting time.   Whitefish Library 4.14.2022 at 6 PM Thursday evening https://goo.gl/maps/kLxNwWEKvvQtMTUH8 We are still in search of another meeting location.  If anyone has ideas please bring them to our next meeting.

Glacier Camera Club held its first in-person meeting in many months! What a fun reunion!  Happy conversation filled the air.  Thanks to all of you for help setting up and coaxing the old camera club laptop and projector to adapt to a new location.  We liked the newly remodeled library community room very much, but the library's policy does not let us lock in an on-going reservation.  We will meet again next month, April 14th at the library.     Hot topics of conversation included:  the new herd bull elk at the Bison Range, and lions and bighorns on Wild Horse Island. Gary brought his huge beautiful prints including one of an island made of turtles.   Frank showed a celebratory jam session at the Polebridge Northern Lights Saloon and magic hour light on snowghosts.   Dee documented a properly equipped Whitefish car and the surface of city beach after the Penguin Plunge.   Madelynne showed the soft colors of rose petals, and the monoc...

After a long break for camera club, we will meet at the Whitefish Library at 6 PM March 10th & April 14th.  We are also looking for ideas for meeting locations.   There is parking next to the library or on the street.  Everyone will fend for themselves for food this time around.  You can bring anything that you would like except for alcohol. Google Map to Whitefish Library Please bring images to show, under 20 LoRez images, anything with resolution of 2,000 pixels should work with our old projector.   Photo by Marguerite Amstadt from the Whitefish Ski Joring 2022....

We had a nice Online Google Meet up last Thursday.  We had a new member join the meeting, Sidney Stone.  He recently moved here from Washington DC and is part of 2 clubs back East.  Welcome Sidney, we are always looking for advice and suggestions on keeping our club going. I received a notification that Scott McClelland is doing a MeetUp 10/30/2021 5:00 PM Apgar.  I am not sure if need to login to MeetUp to join or just show up.  Here is the info from Scott "If you're interested in attending this meetup, we will gather in the small Apgar parking lot close to the lake shore, adjacent to Apgar Village Lodge & Cabins at around 5-5:30pm.
