Jim says of his image: ‘Ballet Dancer’ was a studio shot. One flash in soft-box high and to the left, looking almost straight down on the subject. One flash with a spot grid lighting the backdrop. One flash with umbrella camera right for just a little fill on the shadow side. ISO 64, f5.6 with a 35 mm lens on a full-frame camera.
“Karate Coot” – Jim Ingraham
Jim says of his image: ‘Karate Coot’ was taken at Reinhart Volunteer Park (All Sports Park). Taken with a zoom lens on a full-frame camera set at 500mm and an aperture of f9. ISO was 1600 and the shutter speed was 1/3200th of a second handheld. Coots are beautiful in an ugly sort of way.
Susansaysabout her image: I captured this mama fox and her kit on a sweltering July day this past year. The family took up residence under my shed until the kits were weaned and I enjoyed every minute of their stay. I spent numerous happy hours trying to catch them with my camera. I shot this with my Olympus EM1 MK3 camera and at 400mm.
This image was taken at a winery, I had originally taken it a few years back. After the wildfires the truck was burned. I am new to the new category of AR, Altered Reality. I processed this by adding the Reds, the background of Lava Flowing with the firework sideways presenting movement. I named the image “Burning Through Hell”. I started with the Caveman Camera Club a few years back, it is a great place to learn. I used my Canon R-5 Mirrorless, I shot at an ISO of 100, Focal length of 28mm, speed at 1/125 of a second, used my Canon R 24-105 lens.
Congratulations! Dave on your winning image. Look for Dave’s image soon in the Daily Courier.
This was taken off my back deck with the 400 lens and an adapter (560mm). I was practicing on tracking bees. 1/1000 sec, F8, ISO 1250, Canon EOS 80D. I always shoot with a tripod to reduce camera shake. I always use Manual on my camera.
Fall Creek Jim Ingraham
Fall Creek is off Hwy 58 (Willamette Hwy) about an hour southeast of Eugene. It’s a beautiful day hike with some impressive falls. The creek is wonderfully surrounded with greenery. This image was taken in June a couple years ago. Shot with a Nikon D850 and 24 mm lens on a tripod. F16 at about a second and ISO 64.
Under The Fuchsia Rose Christner
I was out practicing tracking the Hummers under the Fuchsias and playing with the speed from the Canon EOS 80D. I used the 400 lens with a 1.5 adapter (560mm). On a tripod I shot on Manual at 1/4000 sec, F8, ISO 4000. I used natural lighting at 1:30pm and reflected light from our white trellis that illuminated the Hummer from underneath. Practice, practice, practice!
Sunset Cruise was taken by Pixel phone on the spur of the moment at an altitude of 845′ (7th st. Bridge) as a glorious August 1st sunset broke through the cloudy west skies. I was fortunate to catch several returning dinner jetboats along with a fisherman and his swimming dog (right edge). All of this made for a very nice scenic card that now sells at Gallery One. 😊
Solo Larry Pollock
Walking the sand dunes just south of Florence, OR, on a grey day looking for an image to capture. Shutter speed was my main thought for these riders in motion.
