This magical attraction features over 2,000 colourful tropical butterflies floating freely among lush, exotic blossoms and greenery. Paths wind through the rainforest setting, past a pond and waterfall and the Emergence window, where butterflies leave their pupae and prepare to take their first flight! The self-guided walking tour of the Butterfly Conservatory begins with a short, informative video presentation that is close captioned for the hearing impaired.
The Butterfly Conservatory is located on the grounds of the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, 10 minutes north of the Falls. Over 2,000 butterflies, made up of 45 different species, call this beautiful space home. Explore 180 metres of pathways winding through a lush, tropical environment.

A walk about the character rich city of Hamilton with our very own Kevin Chan as the leader of this group. More details will be released and discussed at the next regular meeting.
Challenge yourself to get outside your comfort zone. Try new things - like fixed focus for quick snaps with no auto focus getting in the way of the decisive moment. Capture some great urban images for diversity. And best of all - have fun!
Meetup at the QEP for 9:30am for car pooling or go directly to the Tim Hortons located at 35 King St E, Hamilton, ON L8N 4A9.
What to bring? I suggest a small and as inconspicuous a camera as possible, with a full frame equivalent lens focal length of about 35 - 50mm - fixed.
Rather than relying on autofocus and metering - try having everything fixed - focus and exposure - so your camera does not have to pause to think about the shot and possibly miss focus or exposure. Also, try to look for situations that may be developing and try to take the shot just at the right moment - the decisive moment. For urban type shots, try to capture something that is telling a story and not just a record of a place.

We will be heading down to Rondeau again during the May 2-4 long weekend (best for the migrations!). David Barr will accompany us again as our host.
Colin Bantin ( ccbantin@sympatico.ca ) will be leading the group to Rondeau. The plan is for all attending to meet up at Rondeau Joe's - a restaurant just outside the entrance to the park. Please contact Colin for any other details and questions about the meet-up. Because this is a popular site and weekend for birders, it is not likely that there is any "room at the inn" at this point. So unless (like Colin) you can camp out in your van/vehicle at the park overnight, this is likely to be a day trip for you. The drive is approximately 2.5 hours, so you should plan to leave the Oakville area by 8am.
Though a long trip, we guarantee you a great experience, especially under the guidance of Colin and out host David Barr. Hope to see you there.
Please indicate your attendance to this on the Events "Attend" button.

The Grindstone Creek system is a long system. The part that we will go to runs below the RBG. The best way to get there is drive to the RBG, turn off Plains road and drive down the road past the RBG building.. It winds down to a dead end. We would park our cars in the small parking area and walk across the bridge. At the base of the hill there is a path that follows the creek. Staying to the right you come to a large open area. There are two large bridges there. From where we park our car to the two bridges and beyond there are lots of photo opportunities. Best of all it is free.
We can leave the QEP at 9:00 am and offer car pooling

The Canadian Raptor Conservancy offers bird in flight photo sessions at their facility near Port Dover. Each session runs 3 hours and includes 6 birds in flight and 3 or 4 static birds, and will cost you $50.00 + HST.
This is an excellent opportunity to capture these magnificent birds as they fly between perches roughly 200m apart in an open field. High above, if you look up, you will see wild Bald Eagles flying. At this event, expect to be able to capture great images of Harris Hawk, Red Tailed Hawk, Golden Eagle, Bald Eagle, Peregrine Falcon (very difficult!) and maybe even a Kestrel.
Also available for static, portrait shots would be the Great Horned Owl, Barn Owl, Great Gray Owl or a Long-eared Owl, depending on who's at the "inn" on the given day.
You will need to bring your "A" game technique to this event; it may seem like shooting fish in a barrel - but these birds wait for no one. A good, long, fast lens is a must - preferably zoom f/4 (80-400, 100-400, 200-400) as opposed to fixed. Good panning technique with high powered glass is required. A tripod is recommended also. Timing is everything to get those lift-off and touch-down shots - the most dramatic shots you will get.
The site is open, flat field. Good running/walking shoes are all that you will need for adequate footwear. Dress for the weather - which hopefully is quite fine at this time!

Oakville Camera Club September 12 Outing: The Streets and architecture of Toronto
Meet up Time: 1:45 PM
Where: Union Station York St. Concourse, Toronto in the waiting area by the stairs for track 12/13.
Since members are coming from Burlington, Bronte, Oakville and Mississauga better to hop the GO train that will get you to Union Station for 1:45. GO schedules are here:
http://www.gotransit.com/timetables/en/schedules/full_schedules.aspx
Adult fares will vary depending where you board the train.
Once we meet up in downtown Toronto, we leave Union Station walking up York St. to Wellington, go east on Wellington to Bay St. and take Bay to Queen St.
From there we walk west on Queen St. walking past Nathan Philips Square and cutting through the Law Society of Upper Canada’s grounds to University, from there we go North to Dundas and then west on Dundas to McCaul, we then go north then west a bit by walking along Baldwin then north on Henry St. then across to Beverly St. (which runs into St. George) From there we turn north again to College and then east to King’s College Circle to the St. George Campus of University of Toronto and we go north, past University College and the residences. Then we go west along Harbord St. to St. George, we go north again past Robarts Library (the Bunker) and cut over to Huron St., we go North on Huron to the BP Nicholson Lane and we then go south back Huron past Coach House Press. We then go back east to St. George and walk North to Bloor St. and walk East along Bloor to Avenue Rd. We go North one block to Prince Arthur and west until we reach our destination: The Duke of York Pub.
For those who might find the walk strenuous, you have the option of hopping on the TTC we are in close proximity of the Yonge/ University Subway Line and the Spadina LRT Line. Note the closest subway station to the Duke of York is at St. George.
What do you need:
Comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking involved. Money for the subway/LRT in Toronto, cash fare is $3. Note while in early September it still feels like Summer during the day, it can cool down at night, dress accordingly.
In terms of camera gear, lean towards packing light and reasonably inconspicuous, restrict yourself to normal to wide angle lenses.

Neil Ta is a Toronto-based wedding and commercial photographer. His personal work has touched upon the exploration of the built environment, making use of unseen and unused space in a way that presents the familiar in a new light. His current long-term project is focused on those living in the Alexandra Park neighbourhood of Toronto, an area undergoing gentrification over the next decade. Rather than restricting the genres of photography he shoots, he embraces the ‘cross-pollinationization’ of influences to create memorable work. His talk "From Good to Great" will give photographers of all levels and genre practical tips on taking their images to the next level.
