Digital Capture. A composite image for the Altered Reality section of the May Competition. Two images edited together to create the illusion of the camera sucking the landscape image into the camera and showing up on the back screen. The Altered Reality section of the competition allows for creating something you can’t see in reality. I had a vision of creating a fun expression of what a camera does as well as showing motion. Shot on a Fuji X-T4. Edited in Photoshop.
I have been a professional photographer since 2010. Growing up with film cameras in the 1960s, I learned a wide variety of skills from landscapes, night skies, products, model shoots, portraits and more.
I currently teach photography and lighting. My personal projects include black and white photos and a series highlighting the trash and garbage issues on the planet. I’m always fascinated with the modern techniques to create photographic art and joined the Caveman Camera Club in early 2018.
Congratulations, Larry, on your beautiful image! Look for Larry’s image soon in the Daily Courier.
Ozzie has planned a field trip to shoot Little Falls, Darlingtonia flowers and wildflowers on the beautiful Illinois river. Please find the details on FaceBook or our club email and hope to see you there!
It’s hard to believe it but the last yearly competition is coming soon. This doesn’t mean our activities will be over for the year as we have our Year End Picnic and Year End Winners to announce in June. The picnic is scheduled for June 9th at Tom Pearce Park – time yet to be announced. Stay tuned and mark your calendars. It will be so fun to see everyone in person – outside. Also, please take a quick 30 seconds to vote for 2021-2022 board members.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING IMAGES FOR ELECTRONIC COMPETITION IS MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY, APRIL 30. The category is “Architecture”. Here’s a link with the category descriptions that may be helpful when deciding on where to put your images: Category Descriptions
We are having a virtual scavenger hunt and it starts now! (by virtual I just mean we aren’t getting together for the actual scavenger hunt)
Please submit four photographs from the following categories to Dave Church by midnight on Tuesday, April 20th. Title them simply with your name and category number. See below for category numbers. Example: JimIngraham_1, JimIngraham_3, JimIngraham_5 and JimIngraham_6. Dave will put them in the appropriate folder and we will talk through each folder as it comes up. That will keep everyone involved for the entire meeting. Be loose and creative with the categories. Have fun.
Categories

Rose’s comments on her image ; My model and I were actually setting up for a night shoot, but the sun was setting and coming in just right on her face and I snapped this quickly. This is one of those ‘being in the moment’ shots! 🙂 F5.6, 1/30, ISO 1600 EOS R Canon, 18-135 lens.
