Congratulations to Pam Arbogast for her winning image: End of the Season

Pam Writes About His Image:

This photograph was taken in the fall, after the sunflowers in my garden had lost their colorful petals but were full of seeds. The image was composed on my deck, in late afternoon using a black fabric background and natural light. The petals surrounding the seed heads were from calendula flowers that complemented the golden notes in the sunflower centers. The image was shot with a Canon 7D, 50 mm lens at ISO 400, f8, 1/125 seconds.

Alan Writes About His Image:

I have been a member of Wild Rivers for a couple of years and value the feedback from this group. I enjoy the challenge of creating new images for our monthly meetings, as well as revisiting and reworking older images as my skills and vision evolve.

I am sharing an image taken from Cook’s Meadow in Yosemite Valley, shot with a 70-200mm lens at 200mm and f/8. It was originally captured on Kodachrome slide film, then scanned and converted to black and white in Photoshop.

Congratulations to Bridget Cline for her winning image: All Food Green

Bridget Writes About Her Image:

I love being a part of Wild Rivers Photography Club because it challenges us to constantly shoot something new with the monthly assignments.

My image titled “All Food Green” is for our “Food for Thought” assignment. I chose to create a vibrant monochromatic still life of fresh green fruits and vegetables. Items were carefully placed in a graphic composition highlighting the variety of natural textures and shapes found in the whole foods and the cutting of some. The deep green background was chosen to match the fruits and vegetables and added in Photoshop. It was photographed using natural light coming through my front room window with a Nikon Z6 using a 24–70mm lens at ISO 1000, f/22, 1/80s to maintain crisp detail and depth throughout the arrangement.
