Grosvenor’s Arch Trails
Photograph by Larry Pollock
Larry writes about this image:
Grosvenor Arch is approximately 30 miles east of Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. It is in a remote area accessed by a dirt road.
I love shooting in the extremes of light. This image required taking the foreground image just after dark in the blue hour. The stars were captured over a 75 minute period and 305 images just after the first image.
Shot on a Fuji X-T3
Foreground: 1.3sec at f/9, 16mm, ISO 200
Stars: 10sec, f/2.8, 16mm, ISO 10,000

Hey Camera Club members and Facebook friends!
The Club board had it’s monthly meeting last night and made some important decisions/plans we wanted to let you know about.
-
We’re planning a light painting field trip for our Education night on October 21st. Be looking for details from Jim Ingraham about time and location and “how to” tips in the Google group list/and or on this page.
-
Our September ZOOM competition was a success. Wonderful images, and everyone in the meeting was able to be involved in offering comments and critique. So much good teaching and learning. We need more of you to join us though! It’s pretty easy. If you need mentoring or support in how to use ZOOM, just message me (Pam Thompson Arbogast), and I’ll hook you up with a mentor.
-
To encourage more of you to join up or pay up, and in recognition of the difficult circumstances some are facing with Covid restrictions, we are reducing membership prices for this year. $20 dollars for an individual membership, or $35 for family membership. Membership entitles you to enter competitions, attend field trips, and access individualized mentoring. Payment can be made by check made out to Caveman Camera Club, and mailed to Treasurer Bridget Cline at 1127 NE 9th St., Grants Pass, 97526
If you’ve already paid at the regular price of $35 individual or $50 family, you can request a refund through Bridget, or just consider it a donation.
Take advantage of our wonderful fall weather and colors and get out there and shoot! Post by Pam Arbogast, Membership Coordinator

First Place
A Prayer Cynthia Briseno
My girlfriend and I went camping, and did some antique shopping in Brookings. During the camping we were allowed to have a fire (of course way before these fires!), and I used my crystal ball to shoot the fire. We spoke about Halloween and decided on this year’s planning, so on the way home, we went into the redwoods. I was inspired by the red items we had purchased, and asked her to step into the forest for the shot. Once home, I made a composite of the ball and her shot. It’s the beginning of my favorite time of year – WITCHY HALLOWEEN!!
This photo was shot with my Canon Mark IV, with a Sigma 24-70 lens. Settings were ISO 250, F8.0,1/4 second.

Thor’s Well Jim Ingraham
This image of Thors Well was taken at sunset in the spring. Exposure data was 1.3 second at f16 and ISO 400. Lens was a 24-70 at 30 mm on a Nikon D810. The idea is to photograph here when the tides are about half way in or out. Too high and you’ll get wet and risk losing your camera, too low and the water will not reach the hole. Even so, sneaker waves have taken many cameras and lenses from unsuspecting photographers.

First Place
The Shell Station Jim Ingraham
This image is a light painting blend of about 4 or 5 images. For the main light source, I taped two small l.e.d. lights on a painters pole, extended it to about 15 feet and photographed for 30 second exposures. 2 or 3 images from the left for main light, one from the right for fill light. The Shell pump had its own light source so that was a separate exposure. I stood behind the station for one exposure to get some glow around the truck and structure. And one exposure to paint a little light inside the structure.
Nikon D850, Sigma 14-24 lens at 18 mm.
