Audio-Visual (AV) Shows & Slide Shows
MCC club members are invited to create and submit audio-visual (AV) shows or slide shows, in order to share their work with fellow members. AV shows are in video format and include music and/or video clips and sometimes voice over. Slide shows are presentations of static images, which may or may not be accompanied by ad hoc vocal commentary. Please feel free to contact AV Show Leader Jim Evans at avleader@mcc.mississaugacameraclub.ca if you have any questions.
Prior to covid, AV shows were shown at regular Thursday evening club meetings following announcements and just prior to the guest speaker’s presentation of the evening. This practice was suspended once the club began meeting via Zoom, since the quality of video playback on Zoom has been less than desirable.
AV Show Presentations
As an alternative to in-person viewing, those members who have created AV shows are invited to have their presentations accessible for viewing here on the club’s website. This would enable viewing by all members at a time of their choosing. The AV Show Leader will upload your videos to the UNLISTED category in a specially-created MCC YouTube account, and post the weblinks below. UNLISTED is a type of private category whereby only those people who know the link to the video can view it. An UNLISTED video will not appear in any of YouTube’s public spaces or in public search results.
Slide Show Presentations
Slide shows can still be presented during Zoom meetings with no problem. With creator approval, they can also be posted on the club website directly without a YouTube interface.
(NOTE: When we return to in-person meetings, we will again present AV shows and slide shows during the meeting following announcements.)

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.

Quarantine Chronicles : Episode One by Jim Evans
These images were captured in and around Pt Credit during the early days of COVID 19 lockdown. You will see people out enjoying the spring sunshine and walking-paths, while keeping their distance. The sky is like we haven’t seen it in many years, with not a contrail in sight … and traffic noise is virtually non-existent. Almost serene. The lyrics of the song, by Icelandic group Sigur Rós, relate to a moment in time when finding shelter from the storm.
