Moments and Smiles of Para and Paddle All by Dana Benadova
In this video, Dana gives us a front-row seat to the sport of competitive canoe and kayak racing for all ages and skill levels. She has nicely captured the participants’ straining effort, their thrill of victory, and the fun they share while competing. The images are inspiring, and may entice you to pick up a paddle and give it a try yourself. Enjoy viewing Dana’s presentation of a sport that she obviously loves!
Omega Park – Summer 2009 by David and Karen Simmonds
This is the second of a 2-part AV show from David and Karen Simmonds, and this one is from the Summer of 2009,. The images in the presentations were taken by Karen and David. Today the park has undergone major changes. Lodging is now available in the park itself. In 2008 and 2009 they found cheaper lodging outside the park. It is still worth visiting the park to capture images of a wide variety of animals. However, in 2023 you have to stay inside your car to obtain these images. Lastly, the area gives visitors a chance to experience the French Canadian culture. Enjoy !
Omega Park – Winter 2008 by David and Karen Simmonds
The next two AV shows are from David and Karen Simmonds, from the Winter of 2008 and the Summer of 2009. They were created from images and video clips made at the Omega Park located in Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours, Quebec (just north of Montebello.) Along a 12 kilometre route lakes, meadows , forests and rocky hills are the home to many wildlife species, members of MCC were able to get out of their cars to photograph these animals. The images in the presentations were taken by Karen and David.
Al Tilson Tribute and Photography by David and Karen Simmonds
Recently, members of the Mississauga Camera Club lost a good friend and passionate photographer to a recent illness. Al Tilson joined our club around the same time that Karen and I joined-1985 or there abouts. Over the years, Al and his wife, Ann, attended many club outings. Al also entered all of the club competitions in which he won numerous awards. A small sample of Al’s award winners are in the latter half of this video. Al was very much a kind and thoughtful gentleman. He will be missed by his many friends both inside and outside the Mississauga Camera Club.
Wildlife of the Credit Flats by Michael Lemiski
The Credit River, just upstream from the harbour at Port Credit, is a joy for naturalists, photographers and recreational paddlers. In this video Michael Lemiski shares some of the wildlife photographs he has taken over the last year on the Credit River in Mississauga, Ontario from his pedal kayak. Most people have no idea that this natural world exists in the heart of south Mississauga, nor that this variety of wildlife can be found there. The music for the video is composed and performed by Michael, with drone videography provided by Jim Evans.
Music of the Night by Cecil Lindsay
This Show Off by Cecil features extraordinarily beautiful light-painting images made with model Rosa Wang at dramatic locations around the GTA. For those who may not be aware, light painting is a photography technique that uses a moving light source (e.g. flashlight, sparkler) to add light to a subject while taking a long-exposure photograph. A scene or object can be brought to life by painting with a beam of light. The accompaniment of Andrew Lloyd Webbers Phantom of the Opera hit ‘The Music of the Night’ is icing on the cake. Enjoy !!
Exploring Lakeside Parks by Jim Evans
The images for this video were captured over the past few months, in the many lakeside parks between Toronto and Burlington. It’s amazing really, the natural world that exists on our urban doorsteps. Turn one way and you know that you’re in the city … turn the other and you could be a hundred miles away in the country.
Dueling Banjos by Cecil Lindsay
Cecil playfully accompanies the music, Dueling Banjos, with colourful abstract shapes and images to create a very upbeat and compelling video. Enjoy!
