About The Bridge Lake Photo Group
Bridge Lake is located on Highway 24, in the Interlakes region of the South Cariboo, in British Columbia, Canada.
The Bridge Lake Photo Group meets at 7:00 PM on the first and third Thursdays of each month. Our main goals are to learn more about the creative and technical aspects of the art of photography and to improve our image making techniques. At present, because of the threat of Covid, our meetings are virtual, via the conferencing software Zoom.
At our meetings we view and critique images provided by members, helping each other to better understand the creative process of photography and to improve our practice of the craft. The most experienced of our members give generously of their advice and encouragement. In addition we frequently view training videos focusing on a single technique and then discuss how we might make use of it in our future photographs.
Often we will agree upon a theme – perhaps seasonal photos or photos acquired using a particular technique – to give structure and impetus to our photography efforts during the following month. Upon completion of the allocated time period, members are invited to submit images. These are put together into a slide show whose review then becomes the focus of a meeting. We often post the results on this website.
At least once a year, we’ll organize a field trip to a particularly scenic area and then present the images at a following meeting. Once again, the experienced photographers give freely of their advice, which is particularly valuable when one is setting up in the field and selecting the view and perspective for our images.
The Bridge Lake Photo Exhibition
The Crowd – 10th Annual Photo Exhibition – 2018
Annually, usually in the early Spring, we mount a show of the best photographs made by members of our group, and invite the public to view. Always heavily attended, this event showcases the creative accomplishments of the BLPG to a greatly appreciative audience.
The next Photo Exhibition will not be held until it is safe to do so..
We welcome new members and cordially invite anyone interested in photography to attend our meetings and join the group.
