Hilt School by Ozzie Cummins
Ozzie writes about his image:
The subject of this photo is the “old” one room school house in Hilt, CA. The school was originally constructed and used in the town of Bailey Hill, circa late 19th century – The town name was changed to Hilt in about 1927. I’ve found the history of this quaint little photogenic school to be pretty sketchy in availability. The building is now located just NW of the town of Hilt about 1 mile. It is located right across the road, and the RR tracks, from the “Cole Stage Coach Station.” All are located on the old stage route from Jacksonville, Or. to Montague, Ca.
Photo information: Shot taken in the fall of 2023. It was shot with my Nikon D750 & Nikkor 28-300 lens. This shot was taken with a focal length of 85mm; shutter 1/50”; f/7.1; -0.33 EV.
Congratulations Ozzie on a wonderful capture! Look for Ozzie’s image soon in the Daily Courier.

The Showdown by Stephen Anderson
Stephen writes about his image:
I took the photograph during a workshop at Don Donnelly’s D-Spur Ranch in Gold Canyon, Arizona on January 12, 2024, at 5:37 pm. This working cattle ranch provided a superb opportunity to photograph the riding skills of cowboys and cowgirls on an active ranch. Capturing the rider against a setting sun was a challenge. I used a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and a Canon 100-400 mm zoom lens with settings of ISO 5000, f/9.0, 1/1000 sec. The Wild Rivers Photography Club has been a great resource for learning opportunities available locally and at remote locations.
