Celebration of nature photography 2022. Lions Gate Camera Club.

The Celebration of Nature Photography is an annual event, this year in its seventeenth year, sponsored by the Lions Gate Camera Club.  The event is designed to encourage excellence in nature photography in a competitive format, for photographers in British Columbia and Yukon Territory. The competition is based on photography in the natural environment with no “hand of man” and minimal post processing. Competition winners may be required to provide original RAW files. There are 4 categories, botanical, nature, landscape and wildlife.

All images submitted for this competition will be judged by a panel of three leading nature photographers completely independent of Lions Gate Camera Club. Each club is invited to submit up to six images of our natural world. Clubs intending to enter this year’s competition should contact the Lions Gate Camera Club, at lionsgatecnp2022@gmail.com on or before September 30, 2022. The entry fee for each club is $25.00. Fees must be submitted by October 15, 2022. The deadline for submissions is November 1, 2022.

Lions Gate Camera Club is pleased to invite all camera clubs in British Columbia and Yukon to enter our 17th annual photograph competition in the fall of 2022. Invitations will be sent to each club in May 2022.

The 2021 competition was well subscribed with entries from twenty clubs. Winners were announced in earlier CAPA newsletters.

Outstanding news and congratulations goes to our own Anita Teljeur for her image entitled, “Illuminatis” that took the coveted “Best In Show” award and a CAPA Gold Medal!!

Also congratulations to Gerry Hiebert who won a Bronze 3rd Place Medal in the individual submissions for his image entitled, “Holiday Warmth”.

APAC is collaborating with The Fraser Valley Conservancy (FVC) in exploring the topic of climate change in the Fraser Valley.

At our Program Night on March 21st the coordinator of The FVC’s new Close to Home program Laura Brodey spoke to APAC about climate change and the FVC. We did a breakout brainstorming session on photography and its role and had a first look at some of the images being collected so far.

As photographers,our great observational skills are important for this, along with our ability to communicate these realities in ways that touch people’s hearts and minds.

Members have already contributed over 150 relevant images into the galleries and we will continue to do so as we explore new ways to partner with the FVC in the near future.
