Assigned Category – Wide Angle

Two First Place Winners

I Like Sun Stars Dave Church

“This photo was taken as the sun was rising over the Applegate River at my home. It was shot on April 13th, when I was scouting around for some images to submit to the Club “Wide-Angle” competition coming up the following week. I have always like sunstars, and I thought this turned out pretty good. The original shot was taken with my Canon 6D using a 16-35mm lens. The camera settings were 1/80 sec, f16, ISO 250, 16mm. It was processed in Lightroom. I’m a big fan of the Clarity, Dehaze, and Vibrance tools, and I also played around with the HSL colors section”.

Tube City Jim Ingraham

‘Tube City’ Technical data: Nikon D700 with Sigma 14-24 mm lens at 14 mm. ISO 400 and f14 at 1/500th second. This image was taken at 17th and Lawrence in downtown Denver on a warm winter day this last Christmas. Shooting straight into the sun. I had to lay on my back to get the sculpture to frame the skyscrapers. I believe it was a Sunday so I didn’t get too many weird stares from people.

Three First Places

Eyeing You Russ Williamson

The White Walkers Are Coming Rose Christner

“This was shot on 11/18/18 at Dale Georges studio. A few of us came to play with Dales dolls…as he so graciously set them up, provided lighting as well as smoke. It was a first for me and I had a lot of fun shooting. This image was one of hundreds I took that day at 1/8 sec, F5.6, 27mm, ISO 500 with my Canon EOS 80D on a tripod. To all of us there, it was about the lighting and moving them and shooting thru the smoke. Very fun and cool way to learn how to make the shot! Thanks again Dale!

This was named after the “Game Of Thrones” series that is so popular right now. “The White Walkers Are Coming”.”

Second Place

Contemplating The Bottom Susan Sheets

I visit this waterfall often in the Willamette National Forest. Last July was the lowest I have ever seen it. I enjoyed finding someone’s rock cairn on this visit while I contemplated the falls and captured some images of this place that is special to me. Shot at 15mm, f8, ISO 640, 1/8sec.

April 3rd is Education Night – Fix My Pics!

by Susan Sheets | Mar 31, 2019 | Happenings

One of the things we will do for Aprils education meeting is take the same photo and have everyone process it in their own unique way. There are four images you can download and work on. They are straight out of the camera DNG files which you can edit in Photoshop and Lightroom. There are also JPEG versions if you prefer those. You can do one image or all four, whatever you like.

Be as creative or normal as you like. We will bring these images (jpegs) to the April education meeting and share and learn from each others processing techniques. Best if you can send to Russ just as if you were sending in an electronic image for competition. Please don’t be intimidated by this. We are all here to learn and grow, so lets do that!

Any questions, contact me.

March 2019 Print Winners

by Susan Sheets | Mar 24, 2019 | Competition Results, Happenings, Print Winners

First Place

May I Cut Your Steak Dale George

“May I cut your steak” was a lazy weekend idea that started when I wanted to test out a new backdrop support rod system my wife purchased for me. The shot was set up in our garage and was fairly straight forward. I left one door open about 6 inches just so I could see, and used 2 strobes at about 90 degrees off to the sides and at floor level. Shot is handheld using a Canon 5DMKIV, Canon 100mm macro lens. Camera settings were ISO 6400 at 1/25 sec and f/7.1.

Two Second Places

Harbor Lights Dale George

Aeaissa Jade Jim Ingraham

Technical data 1/10 second at f5.6 and ISO 1600. Nikon D810 with zoom lens at 62 mm. This image was taken on a field trip with the camera club. The light was getting very low so the image was taken using a tripod.
