Congratulations to Rose Christner for her winning image: The Last Sunflower
“I joined the WILD camera club almost 10 years ago as a hobby enthusiast. It has brought me more joy and fun than I could have ever imagined. In those 10 years I have learned so much about photography and not only that, I’ve forged so many lifelong friends. I encourage anyone at any level to join a camera club near you and let the adventures begin! The “Last Sunflower” was shot with my Canon EOS 80D at F5.6, 1/800sec. ISO3200 with the 135mm lens in my backyard garden. My garden flowers and all the living creatures and living on the Rogue River is an inspiration for me. One of my favorite quotes “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” By, Albert Einstein.”
Look for Rose’s image soon in the Courier Newspaper.
Taken in Cuba at Dos Hermanas Campground (named for the mountains), the trogon was very obliging in the rain, not moving around much at all. Taken with my 150mm-400mm lens w/1.25 extension at 445mm, 1/160 sec., f/5.6, ISO 1600
Flap It Off By Larry Pollock
Larry writes about his image:
The birds of Reinhart Park in Grants Pass are always fun to try and capture. The water is always an interesting part of the captures. This female Hooded Merganser seems to have no mate. Maybe she is a very young one. Watching one bird waiting for the right moment and behavior takes time and focus.
