LCC – Landscape: Guest Speaker – Jerry Kita
From the moment I purchased my first Pentax ME camera after college, photography has been a quiet companion on my life’s journey. For years, my lens captured family milestones and everyday adventures, but it wasn’t until the age of 63 that I truly invested in the craft—upgrading my equipment, immersing myself in education, and opening my eyes to the world’s wonders with renewed curiosity. This late-in-life pursuit has taken me far beyond what I ever imagined. My camera has led me across the windswept landscapes of Iceland, the rugged cliffs of the Faroe Islands, the dramatic peaks of the Italian Dolomites, and to breathtaking corners of North America. Each image I create is a story—an invitation to pause, reflect, and see the world anew.

Member Presentation: 2nd Half: Marcel Bourque “Photographing 9 to 11 year-old Boys’ Hockey / Before & After” – PRESENTATION WILL NOT BE RECORDED – IN PERSON
Georges-Vanier Cultural Center 2450 rue Workman, Montreal, Quebec, CanadaMarcel Bourque has been a member of the Montreal Camera Club since 2020. Photographing Boys Hockey Description: This past winter I started photographing 9-to-11-year-old boys’ hockey (disclaimer: one of my grandsons is a player). I quickly ran into a series of challenges such as bad lighting, bad sight-lines, limited access around the arena, post-processing ISO 35,000 images, and so forth. In the talk I’ll review what I was asked I was trying to achieve, the equipment I used, the challenges of shooting in low-light arenas, and the post-processing issues I ran into.
