Digital Capture        Larry Pollock

Larry writes about his image:
Two images edited together to create the illusion of the camera sucking the landscape image into the camera and showing up on the back screen. The Altered Reality section of the competition allows for creating something you can’t see in reality. I had a vision of creating a fun expression of what a camera does as well as showing motion. Shot on a Fuji X-T4. Edited in Photoshop.

Digital Capture

Larry writes about his image:

Digital Capture. A composite image for the Altered Reality section of the May Competition. Two images edited together to create the illusion of the camera sucking the landscape image into the camera and showing up on the back screen. The Altered Reality section of the competition allows for creating something you can’t see in reality. I had a vision of creating a fun expression of what a camera does as well as showing motion. Shot on a Fuji X-T4. Edited in Photoshop.

I have been a professional photographer since 2010. Growing up with film cameras in the 1960s, I learned a wide variety of skills from landscapes, night skies, products, model shoots, portraits and more.

I currently teach photography and lighting. My personal projects include black and white photos and a series highlighting the trash and garbage issues on the planet. I’m always fascinated with the modern techniques to create photographic art and joined the Caveman Camera Club in early 2018.

Congratulations, Larry,  on your beautiful image! Look for Larry’s image soon in the Daily Courier.

Guarding the Stash     Rose Christner

This is a composite of the Northern Flicker and the tree.  Normally you would see an Acorn Woodpecker on the tree as they stash the acorns in the trees. The Flicker eats acorns, but does not put them in trees. I should have named this “Stealing The Stash”. 🙂

Canon EOS R on tripod, 400 lens + 1.4 extender (560 mm). F8, 1/60 sec. ISO 400.

First Place

Kelp       Jim Ingraham

This image, titled “Kelp” was taken from Citizens Dock Rd. in the harbor at Crescent City, Ca. It was a bright and sunny day and the winds were calm. The kelp was sitting near the surface and I could see the seafloor as well as clouds reflecting in the water. The color of the water was a beautiful blue green. I thought it would make for a compelling image.

Taken with a Nikon D810 and Tokina 24-70 mm lens at 40mm. ISO 125,          Shutter speed of 1/125 and aperture of F8

Rainy Night in Amsterdam     Judy Cox

This photo was taken on February 10, 2020. Nomeca and I were on a three day layover in Amsterdam, on our way to Tanzania. The picture was taken with an iPhone 7. I loved the reflections of the lights on the wet brick streets, and the lines of the light rail tracks.
