My girlfriend and I went camping, and did some antique shopping in Brookings. During the camping we were allowed to have a fire (of course way before these fires!), and I used my crystal ball to shoot the fire. We spoke about Halloween and decided on this year’s planning, so on the way home, we went into the redwoods. I was inspired by the red items we had purchased, and asked her to step into the forest for the shot. Once home, I made a composite of the ball and her shot. It’s the beginning of my favorite time of year – WITCHY HALLOWEEN!!
This photo was shot with my Canon Mark IV, with a Sigma 24-70 lens. Settings were ISO 250, F8.0,1/4 second.
This image of Thors Well was taken at sunset in the spring. Exposure data was 1.3 second at f16 and ISO 400. Lens was a 24-70 at 30 mm on a Nikon D810. The idea is to photograph here when the tides are about half way in or out. Too high and you’ll get wet and risk losing your camera, too low and the water will not reach the hole. Even so, sneaker waves have taken many cameras and lenses from unsuspecting photographers.
This image is a light painting blend of about 4 or 5 images. For the main light source, I taped two small l.e.d. lights on a painters pole, extended it to about 15 feet and photographed for 30 second exposures. 2 or 3 images from the left for main light, one from the right for fill light. The Shell pump had its own light source so that was a separate exposure. I stood behind the station for one exposure to get some glow around the truck and structure. And one exposure to paint a little light inside the structure.
Nikon D850, Sigma 14-24 lens at 18 mm.

Congratulations! Cynthia on a beautiful image. Look for Cynthia’s image in the Daily Courier sometime very soon!
Yes it is! What? Our first Competition of the 2020-2021 Year. Where? On Zoom of course, 7pm. Members please look for that Zoom invite from Dave Church in the near future and make sure to get your images to Dave by Fri. Sept. 11th. Speaking of membership, don’t forget to pay those dues by Oct. 7th! at the latest! Find our Treasurer Bridget Cline’s address under the Membership Tab so you can send in your check…and thank you!
The key to this year’s changes in addition to being on Zoom is the number 4! This year you can enter 4 images in three different categories AND we will accept images up to 4MB in size. Please see CLUB COMPETITIONS>>>scroll down past the Judging Info and you will find the new changes are reflected in BOLD TYPE.
Hope to see you soon! If you have Zoom questions or anything else please feel free to reach out to a board member. There will be photography! :0).
Our first Meeting is on Sept. 2nd on Zoom at 7pm. You will receive a Zoom invite from Dave Church via our club email. The purpose of this first meeting is a chance to say HI! again to one another and also to get comfortable with Zoom. It will be part chaos and part fun no doubt. Jim Ingraham and Dave Church will walk us through the nuts and bolts.There are simple tools that make the experience much more enjoyable for all if we all follow some simple steps…mostly being patient and not talking over one another. The second half we thought we’d try screen sharing (which is pretty dang easy).If you have a few images, or a video or anything else photo related that you’d like to share we’ll try it!A fun theme could be “What I did or did not! do over the summer”. For ex. I ended up shooting quite a few birds this summer and thought I’d share a few of those.
****After the Sept. meetings we will revert to Competition on the first Wed. and Education on the second Wed.*****
