Meet at the Haul’s parking lot at 5th and H. 2pm.
Let’s see if we can all find and photograph a fun list of things in and around our town. Everyone gets the list and can go anywhere, by any means to find the things on the list. We’ll all meet back up in about an hour to see what we found. Hope to see you this Sat.!

Congratulations! Dale on a beautiful image. Dale’s image will be printed in the Daily Courier. Below find out a little about Dale and this amazing shot.
I joined the Caveman Camera Club in 2013 to be around other like-minded photographers and to broaden my skills. Always looking for new challenges, I decided to try my hand at high magnification macro photography. I needed an interesting subject, and flies being particularly plentiful, it seemed like a good subject.
This image is 43 images stacked one on top of another. Extreme magnification images have a shallow depth of focus, so multiple photos are taken to bring the whole image into focus, exposing all the disgusting details of the fly. This image is taken at 5x magnification and no cropping. I used a Canon 5D Mk IV camera and Canon MP-E65 macro lens.
This was set up and photographed on my dining room table, and took about 3 hours from start to finish to render this final image. Not an easy process, but for a photographer…well worth the effort for a good image.

Modoc Night Ross Steensland
Modoc Midnight was taken in the Modoc National Forest on the first of September. I have been dove hunting there my entire life, so I was hoping to capture a photo that visualizes the essence of that region.
I scouted during the daylight until I located the ideal snag, then used my photopills app to identify the Milky Way’s location that night. During the night I light painted the foreground during a 104 second exposure, then shot 29 sky images to stack in Sequator for noise reduction. Both images blended in Photoshop CC.
The Pollinator Rose Christner
This was shot at the Butterfly exhibit in Cave Junction, OR on one of our club field trips this year. It was my first time ever to shoot butterflies, so it was a challenge for me with them constantly moving. Shot with my Canon 80D at 1/1600sec, F5.6, ISO1000, 100mm F2.8 Macro lens with extender. This was handheld and certainly not easy for me to do. I highly recommend going on club field trips with one or more as you will learn something new each time or you can share what you know to help others.
