Image Of The Month January 2019

The Canoe

By Jim Ingraham

This image was taken at Lake Lemolo in Oregon last June. It was shot just before sunrise. I was attracted to the stillness of the scene and the way the warm tone of the boat stood out against the blues and greens of the background. The technical details: Shot with a Nikon D850 and Sigma 24-105 lens at 48mm. F16 at 1/30th second and ISO 800, tripod mounted.”

Congratulations! Jim on a beautiful image. Look for Jim’s image in print in the Daily Courier.

4C’s Winter QEID Competition – Deadline Jan. 31st

It is time for another 4C’s Quarterly Electronic Image Division (QEID) Competition and the deadline is January 31, 2019. The judging this quarter will be done by the Spokane Valley Camera Club (SVCC) in Spokane, Washington and all members of any 4C’s Club can enter up to 3 entries.

We no longer use email attachments to enter images in the QEID Competitions and Mac users no longer need to zip their entries. File sizes and file naming is automatically checked so you no longer need to worry if your entries meet the requirements. The 4Cs Board also increased the maximum files sizes for images so you can now enter larger files or you keep the file sizes the same as before. Our goal is to encourage all 4Cs club members to enter the QEID and to make the entry process as easy as possible.

Go to WWW.4CS.CLUB TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT CHANGES , FILE SIZES AND ALSO TO ENTER YOUR ENTRIES. The deadline is January 31st and only the first 3 entries will be accepted for the competition. Unlike some other photography-based clubs, the 4Cs does not charge an entry fee. The only requirement is that you are a member of one of the 4Cs Clubs and awards are sent to the various 4Cs clubs for presentation to the winners in person at a club meeting. Yes, it is still FREE OF CHARGE for all members of 4C’s clubs.

Be aware that entries are no longer sent as attachments to email messages. If you have questions or problems, I am happy to answer your questions via email at mrande@teleport.com. Please don’t send your entries to that email address but questions are fine.

GO TO THE NEW WEB SITE AND CHECK IT OUT AT WWW.4CS.CLUB. When you are ready, use the site to enter your photos in the competition.

Best Regards and I hope 2019 is a good year for you
