….Same Bat time, same Bat channel. We will be meeting in person at Newman United Methodist Church and following mask, and distancing guidelines.
Don’t forget a print if you are so inclined and it can now be any size, mounted or not. Prints will be judged in the Open category only.
Our Assigned category for February is “Decay” so get those moldy mushroom pictures in shape and come join us ;0).
LET’S TALK BLACK AND WHITE ! Bring a black and white print or two to our Wed. Education meeting. We’ll walk through them together as a group, critiquing, and hopefully learning some things about what works, what doesn’t, papers for printing and some resources too. See you there!
First Place
“Burning Through Hell” – Dave Bell
Two First Place
“Ballet Dancer” – Jim Ingraham
Jim says of his image: ‘Ballet Dancer’ was a studio shot. One flash in soft-box high and to the left, looking almost straight down on the subject. One flash with a spot grid lighting the backdrop. One flash with umbrella camera right for just a little fill on the shadow side. ISO 64, f5.6 with a 35 mm lens on a full-frame camera.
“Karate Coot” – Jim Ingraham
Jim says of his image: ‘Karate Coot’ was taken at Reinhart Volunteer Park (All Sports Park). Taken with a zoom lens on a full-frame camera set at 500mm and an aperture of f9. ISO was 1600 and the shutter speed was 1/3200th of a second handheld. Coots are beautiful in an ugly sort of way.
Three Second Places
“10 Ladies Leaping” – Dale George
“Just Hanging In There” – Rose Christner
“Oregon Duck” – Jim Ingraham
Two Third Places
“Don’t Startle Me Like That” – Rose Christner
“Two Irons” – Susan Sheets
Honorable Mention

Burning Through Hell
Dave Bell
This image was taken at a winery, I had originally taken it a few years back. After the wildfires the truck was burned. I am new to the new category of AR, Altered Reality. I processed this by adding the Reds, the background of Lava Flowing with the firework sideways presenting movement. I named the image “Burning Through Hell”. I started with the Caveman Camera Club a few years back, it is a great place to learn. I used my Canon R-5 Mirrorless, I shot at an ISO of 100, Focal length of 28mm, speed at 1/125 of a second, used my Canon R 24-105 lens.
Congratulations! Dave on your winning image. Look for Dave’s image soon in the Daily Courier.
