May 2021 Digital Winners – Altered Reality Category

First Place

Digital Capture        Larry Pollock

Larry writes about his image:
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.

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.

Education Meeting is Wed. April 21 – 7pm on Zoom

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
#1. Put a mask on it.
#2. Something that screams ‘SPRING’ (or whispers it quietly)
#3. Motion blur (or the Pam Arbogast special)
#4. Wings (Animal, insect, angel…must I go on?)
#5. Looking up (a quick jaunt down to Stout Grove should do it)
#6. Reflections
#7. Animal (Insects included!) (you’re welcome, Dale George)
#8. The mighty Rogue River
That’s it.
Oh, and did I mention?…have fun.
