Two First Places

 

My photo,”Ballet Noir” was taken at Heartland Dance Studio’s dress rehearsal for “Pinocchio”. The photo was shot at 1/250 f4.0 ISO 6400 at 53mm with a 16-70 Zeiss lens on a Sony a6500 camera. It was converted into black and white in Lightroom. I have long been a fan of classic black and white movies and film photography, and this seemed like a great image to convert. I used a preset with a slight sepia tinge to warm up the image.

This photo was taken on the beach in Mendocino this June. I light painted this large structure with a small flashlight a total of 29 different times to get this one image.  It is a single shot. That was a lot of running back and forth in the sand to open and close the shutter.  It was a beautiful evening in every way and well worth the effort.

October Image Of The Month

Rail Road

By

Susan Sheets

This Image was made this September on a beautiful night near Mt. Shasta while waiting for the Milky Way to grace the sky above the mountain.  This was the last train just as the sun was beginning to set and the stars came out. It was shot handheld with an Olympus EM1 MarkII, f4.0, 1/60 sec., at 80mm.

Look for Susan’s image sometime soon in the Daily Courier!

Gear UP! Wed. Sept. 9/18

Hi all,
For the camera club education meeting this Wednesday at 7 pm we will be learning from each other. The main emphasis will be on camera gear, processing gear (computers, monitors) and software.
This can run the gamut from someone sharing their smartphone experience and how they secretly prefer to shoot with that over their fancy DSLR to someone with the latest most expensive toys.
Items to consider bringing: Smart phones, cameras, lenses, macro possibilities, tele-extenders, tripods, monopods, tripod heads,tripod mounting plates, gear bags, backpacks, filters, drones, flashes, lighting, light modifiers, remote triggers, lightning triggers, sound triggers, under water gear, print matting and mounting tools, etc…
Basically, whatever you use! This is a great opportunity for us to share and learn from each other.
Time permitting, I would like to have us all share what software we use…or don’t. What computer we use…or don’t.
Also, and finally, I would love for us to share some photographic inspiration that we have found on the internet. Could be learning sites, or photo sharing sites or gear review sites, etc…
I am certain we won’t get to everything. Please prioritize and share one or two things initially. Time permitting, you can share more after everyone that wants to has had a chance.
Please come and share. I have a lot to learn!
See you all Wednesday,
Jim Ingraham  Education Coordinator
