Now you can take stunning still photos and HD movies with the compact point and
shoot Lumix® ZS3 and TS1 cameras from Panasonic.
Thanks to AVCHD Lite*, the ZS3 and TS1 deliver smooth HD motion images with
1280x720-pixel resolution. And AVCHD Lite offers higher image quality and stores
less data for extended recording times, compared with other formats. Superior
audio quality and improved networking with other A/V devices provide an unrivalled
video experience.
For great still shots at the push of a button, Panasonic’s Intelligent Auto
mode features Face Recognition. A feature that “remembers” registered
faces, Face Recognition optimizes focus and exposure so familiar faces
are bright and in sharp focus. And it lets you easily find and organize
photos of a particular person, or display them in a slideshow.
Capture the best of both worlds with amazing photos or stunning HD motion
pictures. It’s your choice.

Editor’s Note
Making the most of what we have
When we set out to create Moments
to Memories, we thought that we had a
good idea. We hoped to fill the magazine
with information, ideas and projects that
you would find interesting and helpful.
Wow, looks like we got it right. You took
precious time to send us emails, letters
and even call us. Thank you so much
for such a heart-warming reception
and all your lovely compliments.
Recently, it seems almost every waking
minute, the economy is dominating
the headlines and is ever present in
our thoughts. As hard as it is with
all that doom and gloom, it is more
important then ever for us to recognize
that we can benefit from these times.
How? Well, when I was young, my father
told me on more than one occasion,
to make the most out of what I had.

4 — Moments to Memories • summer ‘09
This year, what I don’t have is money
in my budget to go away on vacation.
What I do have is all kinds of things
to see and places to visit right outside
my door. So, I’ll be taking a staycation,
the latest in travel trends – a vacation
staying at home or within a short drive.
Instead of feeling deprived because
I won’t be jetting off somewhere,
I’m feeling pretty good that I’ll
be reducing my carbon footprint.
I’ll be visiting attractions that tourists
specifically come to Toronto to see,
that I’m embarrassed to admit, I haven’t
seen in the 30 years I’ve lived here.
I’ll be dining out. After all, who cooks
when they’re on vacation. I might
even buy myself a little souvenir.
And, I can do it on a reduced budget
because I won’t have the expense of
airplane tickets or hotels. Check out
“Staycations – the new affordable
vacation” (on page 20) for ideas on
how to spend your staycation.
Another thing I have that I’m going to
make the most of – my new compact
camera. I bought it for my trip to Italy
last year (see “Summer in Sun-soaked
Italy” on page 26). I was so happy
with the photos that I took (trust me it
wasn’t just me, it was also the camera),
I made not one, but two foto books,
that are now sitting on the coffee table
in my living room. With every season,
a girl’s got to have a little fashion update,
so I am going to get a new case for
my camera.
For all you readers who were lucky
enough to buy a digital SLR in the
last couple of years, take a look at
“foto101 – Lenses” (on page 13).
A new lens may change your point of
view and inspire you to start snapping.
No matter what the financial outlook,
remember life goes on. This year’s
family reunion, birthdays and baby’s
first steps will all change from moments
to memories. Keep taking photographs,
so you can capture those moments and
later on be able to cherish the memories.
Happy Summer,
Anne McIntosh

fotoTIPS
capture
the action
By Amy Giofu
Most of us are familiar with ways to
capture posed shots of important
occasions. “Everyone look this way
and say cheese!” But, without basic
knowledge of some important principles,
we are often disappointed when trying to
capture subjects in motion. Pictures of
our children’s soccer or baseball games
often end up a blurred mess. Here’s a
little knowledge that can go a long way
to help you get great action shots
of your sports star.

PHOTOMAGIC foto source,
Fort McMurray, Alberta
Sports Mode
When taking sports photos, one of the most important aspects
to remember is your camera’s shooting modes. Using your
sports or action mode, your camera will automatically set
shutter speed and ISO settings to give you the sports action
photo you’re looking for. The camera uses a fast shutter speed
to capture quick motion without blurring the subject in
your shot. At the same time, it increases the ISO setting which
helps freeze the action. On most cameras, the sports mode is
designated on the mode dial with the icon of a running man.
10 — Moments to Memories • summer ‘09
fotosource.com
Anticipate the action
Getting that great shot will rely on your ability to anticipate the
action. We’ve all taken pictures of our little one scoring the winning
goal at soccer, only to find that the ball had already passed out of
the shot. Following your subject on the LCD monitor or through
the viewfinder will make it easier to anticipate the action. Now you
will be in sync with your subject and ready for those quick action
shots. Pressing the shutter release button before the peak moment
occurs will allow you to capture your subject in full motion.
Another technique you can try is the continuous shooting mode.
In this mode, your camera will carry on shooting as long as you
keep the shutter button pushed down. Not only will you have
a better chance of capturing a precise moment, you’ll likely get
terrific before-and-after shots. This mode is ideal when the action
is a rapid sequence of motions, like a soccer kick or a golf, tennis
or baseball swing.
Shutter lag time
There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to take a picture of
your child scoring the first goal of the game, only to find yourself
waiting for the camera. By the time it is actually ready, you’ve
completely missed the photo. This is referred to as shutter lag time.
To help avoid this, hold the shutter release button halfway down
as you compose the shot so that the camera is prepared.
The camera will be ready to take the shot whenever you are,
without missing a beat.
Fill the
frame
The closer you can
get to your subject,
the better. Looking at
pictures of a little dot
on the playing field
is dull. You can’t see
your player’s expression. You can fill the frame by using the zoom
on your lens, or changing your vantage point. Most parents have
total access to their child’s sports venue – something professional
sports photographers would love.
You can increase the prominence of the subject – your child –
by keeping the background to a minimum. Scout out good vantage
points by walking around the field or rink, before the game begins.
Also, try shooting from different angles for a greater variety of shots.
Following these simple tips will help you capture winning shots
of your little athlete’s winning shots!

Memory Cards
You must
remember
this
By Amy Giofu
Memory cards are one of the most
important aspects of digital photography, but they are one of the
last things most of us think about.
Your memory card is the equivalent
of film for your digital camera.
When shooting with film, there
are a set number of shots –
12, 24 or 36. With digital,
the number of shots
on your memory card
is not predetermined.
Card capacity is measured
in gigabytes (GB). One
thousand megabytes
(MB) equals one gigabyte.
Deciding what size memory
card you need depends on
the camera you have and
how many pictures you plan
on taking. A higher resolution
camera needs a memory card with a larger capacity
because each image uses more space on the card.
Memory cards come in different formats including
CompactFlash (CF), Secure Digital (SD), Secure Digital
High Capacity (SDHC), Memory Stick (MS), SmartMedia,
MultiMedia Card (MMC) and xD Picture Card. Each model
of camera can only use a specific format of memory card.
So, to ensure you’re buying the correct card, check your
camera manual or take your camera with you to the store.
Some digital cameras have video recording capability. If you
are using your camera to shoot video clips, especially in
High Definition, your need for storage space increases, so a
higher-capacity memory card, like an SDHC, will be necessary.
Memory cards vary in price. The higher the capacity or
the faster the speed, the more expensive the card will be.
The faster the speed, the less time it takes for the camera
to record the image onto the card, also known as the write
time, so shot-to-shot time can be reduced. The less time
it takes between shots, the more chance you have
of getting action shots.
It is important to make sure you have enough space on your
card, or even an extra one handy so you won’t be deleting
pictures at a crucial moment when you should be shooting.
Memory card warranties are just as important as the
warranty on your camera. Most manufacturers offer one
or five-year warranties, but a few cards, like the foto source
Pro Series, carry a lifetime over-the-counter replacement
warranty. This is the safest way to go and can save you
money in the long run.

Through the Lens
300mm
By Bruce Kemp
George Eastman’s original Brownie was
pretty radical for its time, but in comparison
to the cameras we use today, it was also pretty
primitive – particularly when it came to lenses.
200mm
135mm
85mm
It came with only a fixed focal length lens.
To frame a subject properly, it required
that you move the camera either closer
to or further from the subject. Fortunately,
today’s digital photographer has a range
of modern zoom lenses to choose from
to make picture taking easier.
Zoom lenses let the photographer adjust
the amount of the scene covered by simply
turning a ring on the lens, or in the case of
the Point & Shoot (P&S), pushing a switch
to zoom in or out. They cover everything
from wide angle, for capturing more of a
scene, to telephoto, for getting the twinkling
eyes of their smiling face close up. This is
accomplished by an internal set of glass
elements that move back and forth giving
you the desired angle of view. Because of
this, you change lenses less frequently
on a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) and
can concentrate more on taking pictures.
fotosource.com
All lenses, whether zoom or fixed focal length,
are measured in millimetres, from the front
of the lens to the focal plane (the sensor chip).
Wide-angle lenses are recognized by their
short focal lengths, while telephoto lenses
are determined by their longer lengths.
The range considered to be a normal
wide-angle lens begins at approximately
18mm and extends to 35mm. Telephoto
lenses start at 85mm and go up to 300mm.
There are shorter and longer lenses, but
these are specialty items used more by
professionals and serious amateurs than
the average photographers who are
capturing family events and vacations.
It used to be that a photographer would
have to buy a bag full of lenses to cover
the full range, from wide to telephoto.
Now, with the advances in zoom
technology, a serious amateur (and many
pros) can get by with just two lenses.
An excellent kit to cover most picturetaking needs would be an 18–70mm and a
75–300mm. With these two lenses, you can

grab great shots – everything from
the inside of the kids’ tent to your ball
star catching a pop fly in centre field.
(VR) and other manufacturers (Sigma
and Pentax to name two) have
followed suit.
IS dampens
movement such
as camera shake,
so that you can take
pictures in lower light
or of a fast-moving
subject, without
getting the blur associated with
camera shake and movement.
Most new lenses now offer IS or VR
at very reasonable prices.
Now, most manufacturers
“
offer new lenses with IS or VR
at very reasonable prices.”
For the P&S shooter, zooms are
measured in both optical resolving
power and the DSLR or 35mm
equivalent. Optical resolving power
is a multiple of the image produced
by the lens from its smallest image
size to its largest. For example,
a P&S can provide a 10x optical
zoom, which indicates the specific
magnification factor of the lens.
This is not to be confused with the
digital zoom which is handled by
the camera’s digital processor.
Today, most P&Ss have a zoom range
that typically extends from a mild
wide angle like a 35mm to a healthy
telephoto the equivalent of a 300mm.
Another improvement, brought about
by recent technological changes, is
image stabilization (IS) technology.
Hollywood’s motion-picture industry
has had image stabilization for years,
but it was far too expensive for the
average professional photographer,
let alone amateur.
That’s all changed. For almost a
decade now, Canon and Nikon have
been making lenses featuring
built-in image stabilization
or vibration reduction
With Polarizing Filter
Along with IS, zoom lenses have
progressed to the point where
their light gathering capabilities
are starting to rival the fixed focal
length lenses. For years, pros shied
away from zoom lenses because of
two factors – they often produced
soft images and they were slow.
The problem of softness has long
since disappeared and the speed
of these lenses has increased.
A lens’ speed is measured by
finding its maximum aperture. Most
common zoom lenses feature an
f-stop of around f3.5 that changes as
the lens is extended. You often find
f3.5-5.6 inscribed on the lens barrel
and this means that the aperture
closes down from f3.5 to f5.6 as the
lens reaches its fullest extension.
A lens with these apertures will suffice
for average shooting – especially with
IS – but in low light you may find
that your shutter speed is too slow
for hand-held shooting, even when
Every lens needs a filter
By Bruce Kemp
Take a look at any professional photographer’s camera lens and you’ll likely
find either a UV (ultra violet) or polarizing
filter on it.
UV filters help to reduce haze in photos
by absorbing ultra violet light. At higher
altitudes, the amount of UV increases.
Skiing or hiking in the mountains –
you’ll want to be sure to use a UV filter
when taking photographs. A UV filter
also removes the bluish cast from
images, which is particularly useful
when photographing people.
With UV Filter
Polarizing filters reduce the effects of
glare caused by shiny objects, increase
the lens is at its widest setting. To
help photographers overcome this,
manufacturers are now producing
a range of zooms with enhanced
speeds. There are a number of zooms
on the market today with apertures
as fast as f2.8 and in low light this can
make all the difference.
The down side of these fast new
zooms is the cost. Because of the
improved quality of the optical glass
and engineering necessary to achieve
a maximum aperture of f2.8, the price
rises dramatically. This keeps these
lenses in the realm of the professional or highly dedicated amateur.
With time and better production
methods even these will come
down in price. However, until then
an affordable solution is as simple
as shooting with your camera on
a steadying tripod or monopod.
So get out and shoot – whether
using your lens at wide angle to
get a beautiful sweeping scenic
shot or zooming up close to fill the
frame with all the action. If you’ve
been using your DSLR and can’t
get what you want into the shot –
no problem. Think of your wardrobe.
With money tight and budgets
being stretched, you might not be
able to buy a whole new outfit,
but you can easily give yourself
a new look with the purchase of
a few reasonably priced accessories.
The same thing applies to your
DSLR, a new lens can be just
the right accessory to turn your
summer photos from drab to fab.
contrast and deepen the blue of the
sky by reducing reflection from moisture
and other airborne particles. If you’ve
ever seen a photograph and remarked
on the gorgeous blue sky, it was most
likely taken using a polarizing filter.
The second, and most important duty
filters perform, is providing protection
by guarding the front end of a lens.
Although any filter can do this, UV filters
are most frequently used because they
are clear. This allows them to remain
on the lens almost all the time.
Repairing a damaged lens with a new
front glass sometimes runs into three
figures. Replacing a damaged UV filter
is much cheaper. In some cases, it isn’t
even cost-effective to replace the front
glass and you have to buy a new lens.

OH NO!
The economy is down the drain and
that vacation in the south of France is so last year.
What’s a person to do?
Staycations
By Bruce Kemp
The new, affordable way to vacation –
on a budget.
Get away on vacation – staying right at home. Not burying yourself
in yardwork or staring vacantly out the living room window. See, do
and explore things around your town instead.
Staycations are a unique approach to going on vacation without
going far or going broke. Just about every town and city across
Canada has something interesting to do that you haven’t done yet.
Also, if you’ve decided to help the environment by reducing your
carbon footprint, staycations mean you can hop on a bicycle, public
transportation or use your car – rather than an airplane.
West coasters can take a daylong tour of the Butchart Gardens,
one of the most visually sensual National Historic Sites on the register.
The Gardens are an explosion of
floral colour, scent and Victorian
landscaping covering 22 hectares
(55 acres) – including a spectacular
sunken garden built in an ancient
limestone quarry.
Visit Vancouver, Whistler and
Richmond before the world beats
a path there for the 2010 Olympic
Winter Games. Many of the venues
for the events, like the Richmond
Speed Skating Oval, Canada Hockey
Place and Whistler Sliding Centre,
are open to the public now.
There doesn’t have to be snow on the
ground in Whistler, for you to enjoy
the Peak2Peak Gondola that travels
3.024 kilometers (1.88 miles) 436 meters
(1,427 feet) over Fitzsimmons Creek
valley (see Moments to Memories,
Winter 2008 issue).
in the region’s sandstone or striking terrifying poses in the Royal
Tyrrell Museum.
Families can experience the thrill of digging for dinosaurs working
with the same tools and digging in the same ground as the
museum’s paleontologists to uncover casts of dinosaur fossils.
Or camp out in a real tepee and search the Badlands for fossils
at the EnCana Science Camp.
If you prefer a little more current history, check out Head-Smashed-In
Buffalo Jump. Despite its gruesome name, this National Historic Site
in Southern Alberta provides insight into the lives of our First Nations
ancestors. Long before there were grocery stores, First Nations
people used a variety of ingenious
methods to hunt the large numbers
of buffalo it took to sustain them over
the winter. One method was to drive
the buffalo over a cliff.
One of the largest of these sites is
Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Today,
the site offers a full interpretive centre
with artifacts, a spectacular diorama
and audio/visual presentations. Visitors
can hike along the rim of the cliff and
take in the sweeping prairie vista.
What’s summer without a fishing pole
and a lazy afternoon? It doesn’t cost
much and you don’t have to go far.
In metro areas like Toronto or Halifax,
you can take public transit right down
to the waterfront where the fish live.
So, here’s a trivia question. Where
was the world’s record rainbow trout
caught? If you guessed Saskatchewan,

All without the crowds of other popular summer destinations.
On your staycation, head to museums and national historic sites,
where the past comes to llife and is fun for everyone.
In Drumheller’s Badlands, there is a real Jurassic Park, for kids of
all ages. Fortunately, these Alberta dinosaurs can’t eat you because

Forget the bright lights and expense of Broadway. Summer theatres
offer an evening of entertainment and fun. Try one of the local
Fringe Festivals or open-air Shakespeare performances. Bring a
picnic, spread out a blanket and create your own dinner theatre
event. Many companies offer reduced prices for matinees and
discounted tickets on the day of performance.

If you want to get your toes tapping and the kids want to get up
and dance, music festivals are the way to go. This year, enjoy dozens
of folk acts for three days of every kind of music ranging from
bluegrass to world at the Winnipeg Folk Festival (July 9-12). Unlike
hard rock events, this is a kid and
family friendly festival that has garnered a great reputation for 36 years.
about every
“Just
town and city
across Canada
has something
interesting to do
that you haven’t
done yet.
”
Walking tours of your city are another
great way to stay in town and see
something new without cashing in
your RRSPs. Just about every city
across the country offers one form
of walking tour or another.
In Toronto, Shirley Lum hosts urban
hikers with A Taste Of The World
Walking Tours. Explore everything
from ghosts haunting the University
of Toronto to Chinese culture.
What an appealing word free is. Couple that with 350 outdoor
concerts and the Montreal Jazz Festival (July 1-12) is certainly worth
staying home for. There’s a lot happening in Montreal this summer
from the Festival de Lanaudière to the Montreal World Film Festival
to plan a staycation around.
Further along the St. Lawrence, Kingston offers a great deal to see
and do. Try the Farmers’ Market behind the city’s historic town hall on
Saturday mornings or watch the armadas of sailboats compete every
August in the Canadian Olympic Regatta Kingston. Imagine, a full
day of entertainment, wandering the market and watching the races –
FREE! In the evenings, set your watch to the ceremonial sunset
firing of a canon at old Fort Henry and dine in one of the dozens
of excellent restaurants that dominate the heart of the old town.
For kids who complain about being bored, how about two weeks
“before the mast” learning to sail a tall ship. Your kids (between 13
and 18 years of age) can join the crew of a tall ship operated by
Toronto Brigantine’s Tall Ship Adventures. Running from June 28
through September 6, two tall ships cruise the Great Lakes,
as far afield as Georgian Bay, under the guidance of qualified
captains and officers.
Love the idea of seeing tall ships, but don’t have the sea legs?
During the Tall Ships Nova Scotia Festival this July, over forty
ships will dock at six of the province’s ports of call. Of the five-day
docking in Halifax (July 16-20), three days will be dedicated to
public boarding.
Don’t put off going on vacation. Instead enjoy a staycation. There is
a surprising amount you can do right in your hometown. So get out
the camera, put on the suntan lotion, head out and have fun.

The Amalfi Coast:
Summer in
Sun-Soaked Italy

fotosource.com
Italians have
long known
the beauty and
treasures of the
Amalfi Coast.
However, it
wasn’t until the
17th century when
upper-class young
men, on their
Grand Tour of
Europe seeking to
complete their
education, shared
its charms with the
rest of the world.
This destination
has continued to
delight travelers
ever since.
Stretching from the southern side of the Sorrentine peninsula, south to Salerno, it is
hard to believe that Naples, with its frenetic pace, is a mere 26 kilometres (16.6 miles)
north of this tranquil area.
In a recent survey, Italy came in top spot as the place where Canadians most want
to travel. One look at the sunny beaches and steep cliffs, with houses perched high
above the Tyrrhenian Sea, is a powerful influence.
The town of Amalfi is perhaps best known for its
cathedral, Duomo di Sant’ Andrea. Rising 62 steps
from the main piazza, its multi-geometric façade
delights the eye. A set of 11th century bronze doors,
cast in Constantinople, lead to a Baroque interior.
Next to the duomo, the Cloister of Paradise contains
religious treasures and the crypt of Sant’ Andrea,
patron saint of fishermen.
As well as fishing, papermaking was an important
part of the Amalfi economy. During the 18th century,
there were 16 functioning mills in the town of Amalfi
and the outlying Valle dei Mulini. Today, only two
remain in operation. Cartiera Amatruda, open since
1380, offers a short tour complete with demonstration showing the ancient equipment still used
to produce paper by hand from cotton rags.
Perched high above Amalfi is Ravello. The views
from the road are spectacular. Leave the driving
to the professionals; take an open-topped red
SITA bus, so you can fully enjoy them. Listen
to a brief history of the area, as the bus climbs
the road that zigs and zags up the rocky cliffs.
The word magical is used repeatedly when describing Ravello. The spell is cast
the moment the bus deposits you at its final stop. As you stand high above the
Mediterranean, you will be torn between the magnificent panorama in front of
you and the mysterious tunnel carved into the rock behind you. From this cool
dark passage you emerge into the bright, expanse of Ravello’s main piazza.
Gardeners will be thrilled at the sight of the beautiful gardens at Villas Rufolo and
Cimbrone. Villa Rufolo has not only inspired gardeners, but also, musicians and
composers. In 1880, Richard Wagner visited the villa during the period he penned
his opera Parsifal. So inspired he wrote in the villa’s guest book, “The enchanted
garden of Klingsor has been found.”
It is here, the Ravello Festival, an annual music event, is held. A stage at one end
of the gardens appears to be cantilevered from a cliff over the Bay of Salerno.
At evening concerts, as the music crescendos, the sun sets and the lights of
Salerno twinkle in what can only be described as breath-taking beauty.

Villa Cimbrone
www.villacimbrone.com
Clinging to the rocky cliffs that rise sharply
from the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, are the buildings of Positano. Perhaps
the most famous is the church of Santa Maria
Assunta. Built in the 8th century, its colourful dome adorned with Vietri majolica tiles
is the highlight in virtually every photograph representing the Amalfi Coast.
Walk from the top of Positano, down winding, narrow pedestrian passageways, canopied by bougainvillea. These passageways
are lined with hundreds of shops filled
with linens, Vietri pottery and clothing.
Describing Positano, one traveler exclaimed,
“It’s one giant women’s dress store.”
The only thing better than a new pair of shoes,
is a custom-made pair. Just after World War II,
cobblers in Positano began the tradition of
sandal making. Though these sandals are flat
and the styles are simple, they are made to
your exact measurements. It takes less than
an hour to have sandals made, and provides
a perfect excuse to stop and have lunch.
Just below the church of Santa Maria
Assunta, the passageways come to an end,
and open up onto the sun-soaked beach.
Restaurants, with terraces overlooking the
sea, offer spada (swordfish) caught daily
by local fishermen. On a hot summer day,
nothing refreshes more than a cup of
lemon granita. This light icy treat is a
simple mixture of water, sugar and juice
from lemons grown in orchards along
the Amalfi coast.
Lined with orange umbrellas, the pebble
beach is where sunbathers pass their day
taking cooling dips, sipping iced limoncello
and being lulled, by the sounds of the
waves, into a refreshing afternoon nap.
Another form of entertainment at the beach
is watching the tourists arrive off the ferries
from Capri and Naples. Loaded down with
heavy suitcases, it dawns on them that they
have to haul these suitcases up the steep
slopes to their accommodation. Now, after
a few days here, you fancy yourself a local
and know there are porters for hire to do this.

Armchair Travel
Gallery Wraps
Times are tough, money is tight and there’s no room in the budget for travel
this year. Instead, you’ll be staying home and nesting. Why not get out
your photo albums and relive some of your great vacation memories?
Gallery wraps are an update on traditionally stretched canvas
paintings. With gallery wraps, the image is wrapped all the way
around the frame and tacked to the back, unlike the traditional
method with its plain canvas sides and unsightly staples.
This advantage means it can be hung without a frame –
a savings on the wallet.
Differing from traditional photographic enlargements,
they create a three dimensional look. Best of all, although
gallery wraps have a modern look, they also work well in
traditional and minimalist décor.
Creating the look is so easy
No frame required
All hardware is hidden on the back of the wrap,
saving you the cost of a picture frame.
Enhance impact
with a 2” thick wrap
Wraps are available
in several thicknesses,
providing a range
of effects.

Measure
Measure the wall space and determine
how many prints you want to hang.
Remember to display in groups of
uneven numbers (1, 3, 5).
Pick your photos
Look through photographs from
past vacations. Determine which ones
you’d like made into gallery wraps.
If the photographs were taken with
a digital camera, burn them to a CD.
If the photographs were taken with a
film camera, you’ll need the negatives
or the print itself.
Order your gallery wraps
Take CDs, negatives and/or prints to
your photo speciality store (see page
43 for the foto source store near you)
to see what size gallery wraps they offer
and determine the sizes you want.
Hang them and enjoy
Once you’ve got your gallery wraps –
stay home, curl up with a good book
and wrap yourself in the beauty and
comfort of custom pieces of art made
just for you with your photographs.
Your image will wrap
around the sides too
When the wraps are complete,
the images are displayed on
the front and along all four sides.

Six
simple ways to
get better baby pictures
It’s one of the most important
photographs you’ll ever take
and it can also be one of the
most challenging – the first
portrait of baby. So here are
six tips to make capturing
their beautiful face as simple
as it was for them to capture
your heart.
By Bruce Kemp

Begin with mom or dad holding baby.
Parents are best, as baby has already bonded
with them. When taking photos with other
family members, give baby a chance to
comfortably settle before snapping shots.

Use natural light whenever possible.
First, turn off the flash. Then, push your ISO up to
400 or 800. You’ll be delighted with the results.
Alternatively, prop the wee one on a
warm blanket and surround it with pillows.
Pillows will hold the child in position and also
support their fragile head and neck. (Newborns
are too young to respond to toys and stuffed
animals. But, these work very well when baby
is a little older and growing more aware of
the world around them.)
Move the mother and baby close to a window.
This will give you the most pleasing light
and won’t disturb the child.
If you must use a flash, turn on your
red-eye control and reduce the flash output.
Many babies become irritated and cry
when a flash goes off. This means you’ll lose
any chance of getting happy baby shots.
If you have a camera with an auxiliary flash,
bounce the flash off the ceiling.
This will give soft, even light.

Typically affecting infants and
children up to five-years of age,
Retinoblastoma is a rapidly developing cancer which attacks the retina
(the light-sensitive cells of the eye).
As one of the most malignant forms
of cancer, left
untreated, it can
quickly spread
to the brain.
It accounts for
approximately
3% of pediatric
cancers and affects
one in 15,000 live
births. With early
detection and
care, there is a
96% survival rate
for children.

and taking time to go
through your photographs.
Enjoy reminiscing with
your children as you search
for some fun family shots.

Draw a flower on a piece of
construction paper. Ensure it’s
large enough to include a photo.
Cut it out and let your child trace
this template onto different colours
of construction paper. Cut out
all the flowers. You’ll need one
for each photo.
Shape the photographs into
circles by placing the cookie
cutter or glass onto the photo, then
trace a circle around it. Cut out
each circle. Ensure that the photos
are smaller than the flowers.

Glue the circle-shaped photo
to the center of the flower.
Take cookie sticks (one for
each photo) and, starting
1” from the bottom, wind the
pipe cleaner around the cookie
stick until it is completely covered.
You’ll need two pipe cleaners for
every cookie stick. Ensure that
you leave 1” uncovered at the
bottom so that you can easily
insert it into the foam.

draw on bristol board and cut out.
3. Measure 1” around each side
of bristol board, draw lines and
cut out centre creating a frame.
4. Place the frame over the print and

What is it
about doors?
They evoke emotion. Whether it is the color, material or detail
of the door that draws our attention, they can create feelings
of happiness and warmth. We want an invitation to enter.
Doors rouse our curiosity. When we see a door that appeals to us,
we wonder who lives behind it. Does an old door indicate that
an older person lives behind it? If a modern door were to open,
would a younger person emerge?
Does a door reflect the personality of the person living behind it?
If it has many locks does the person have secrets or are they simply
seeking protection?
We use doors for purposes other than their intended use of covering a
portal of a building. We decorate with them – leaning them against walls.
We even turn them into tables. We photograph, get prints made
and frame them to display on our walls.
