Hello everyone
We (Rob Fensome and Wayne Garland) are planning a “geophoto” evening for Wednesday 2nd March at the Carlyle condominium building on Coburg. All Guild members are invited, but we plan to send follow-up emails only to those expressing an interest by responding to this message (please see below).
The main aim of the get-together is to view images of geological subjects from both geological and photographic perspectives for information, as a warm up to the AGS-sponsored competition at the Guild later in March, and to exchange ideas about where to go to see neat rocks and landscapes. It will be very informal … no pressure evaluations. And please feel free to bring interested partners. So if you’ve wondered about the geology behind some of your favourite images, or asked yourself whether an image might be an appropriate entry for the AGS competition (not that there is a definitive answer), please consider coming along.
If you are interested in receiving further information about this event (time and how to submit images to be viewed ahead of time), please contact Rob Fensome:

902-426-2732 (work and most effective voice mail)

The Mayor of Halifax Theme Competition “Canada Games 2011″ has been rescheduled from February 14th to March 20th , 2011. Just a reminder that this competition will accept images shot outside HRM boundaries e g at Wentworth.
Due to copious amounts of snow down and I will be in Cuba cycling in the warmth of the Carribean, this field trip will be cancelled. Maybe next year
Happy Groundhog day everyone! Here’s hoping that spring is just around the corner…

The Eagle Watch field trip to Sheffield Mills has been moved from Sunday to Saturday, January 29th.
Plan is to meet at the car pool parking lot at 8:15 am and depart at 8:30 am. Hwy 101, Exit 4, turn left at the stop sign and proceed to the parking lot. We will then proceed to Grand Pre area, Wolfville, Port Williams and Church Street. From there we will go to Sheffield Mills and the Middle Dyke Road. Kindly have your Waivers signed and ready to turn in. Waivers are under Quick Links on the right.
Most people head out on their own and meet up later. Eagle Watch directions turn off the Hwy 101 at New Minas. Signs are displayed with an eagle head to Sheffield Mills.
LOCATION: Sheffield Mills Community Hall, 98 Black Hole Road (near Canning , Kings Co. N.S.), Directions: Take exit 12 off Hwy. 101 and follow the blue eagle signs or watch for turnoff signs from highway 1 at Greenwich, New Minas, or Kentville.
Eagle Watch weekend presents pancake breakfasts and entertainment for two weekends. Several communities are also planning various options to eat. All of these are fund raisers for the communities and charities for the local area. The upstairs hall in Sheffield Mills will have displays, videos, various artwork including photography and paintings, a native feather ceremony. An interest to photographers this year is the addition of a Photo Safari Workshops.
Check out web site at: http://www.eaglens.ca
Due to the number of people that will be on location at the Middle Dyke Road observing and photographing the activities of birds (and last year, coyotes), you are on you own for the rest of the day to roam around the local areas to photograph the raptors and such.
Kingsport is another favorite locations as is the church parking lot on Church Street, just outside of Port Williams.
If you are interested in meeting up at The Port pub in Port Williams at 5 pm ( http://theportpub.com/) for food, drinks and camaraderie, please let me know, so that I can give them potential numbers. If I got 10 or more responses, we can have a booking
Email me at: johnwmwebb(at)eastlink.ca.
The “Printing with New Media ” workshop scheduled for Monday, January 24th at Atlantic Photo Supply is canceled.
The field trip is canceled due to the weather forecast of rain and high winds.
