The group visiting the memorial service for their musician friend on the beach in Bandon, Oregon
Locations - Circles In The Sand
For those traveling up the Oregon coast this summer, there is a special treat in Bandon, Oregon. Besides a historic old-town, the nearby lighthouse, beautiful rocks at sunrise and sunset, and sea creatures visible at low tide, you can see an artist drawing beautiful patterns in the sand.
At low tide, Denny Dyke starts making his walkable trail patterns on an open sandy beach near Face Rock. After the tide goes out, Denny describes the smooth sand as his blank canvas onto he sketches a labyrinth he calls his Dreamfield. Denny draws his patterns for many purposes: memorials, anniversaries, birthdays and weddings. Circles can be canceled because of a rainy day or very high winds.

SCLH Photography Club Facebook Page
This is a place for SCLH Photography Members to have a conversation about photography, cameras, and places to shoot photography in the area. You can ask a specific "how to" or "where can I find..." or "how can I improve this shot?" or "thinking of going to.....does anyone want to come too?" You can post great photography-related websites that others might like. Use your creativity. The SCLH Photography Facebook page is restricted to the Club membership only.
There are a few rules.
-
No politics, none, nada.
-
The only things you can sell on this page are photography equipment that is usually sold within the club like reselling cameras, printers, etc. Nothing else. Nothing.
-
Constructive criticism only when critiquing. (Don't tell us that it was a stupid, boring shot, We'll figure it out anyway.)
-
If you are selling your photography, protect your copyright. You may not want that one up on the Internet on Facebook. Post a link to your photography website instead.

Volunteers Needed for Video Production
The Association’s Video Services Group (“VSG”), a sub-group within the Communications and Community Relations Committee, is seeking volunteers to assist with producing a variety of different types of video pieces. These videos are almost all intended for posting to our Association’s YouTube channel to be viewed by residents.
VSG is particularly interested in hearing from residents who have experience in all aspects of video creation. We want to hear from YOU if you would like to become involved with the planning, directing, camera operating, video editing, audio engineering, and/or assisting more experienced members of the group. If any of the foregoing piques your interest, please contact Peter Beckett via e-mail at videography@sclhca.com.
