It is time for another 4C’s Quarterly Electronic Image Division (QEID) Competition and the deadline is January 31, 2019. The judging this quarter will be done by the Spokane Valley Camera Club (SVCC) in Spokane, Washington and all members of any 4C’s Club can enter up to 3 entries.
We no longer use email attachments to enter images in the QEID Competitions and Mac users no longer need to zip their entries. File sizes and file naming is automatically checked so you no longer need to worry if your entries meet the requirements. The 4Cs Board also increased the maximum files sizes for images so you can now enter larger files or you keep the file sizes the same as before. Our goal is to encourage all 4Cs club members to enter the QEID and to make the entry process as easy as possible.
Go to WWW.4CS.CLUB TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT CHANGES , FILE SIZES AND ALSO TO ENTER YOUR ENTRIES. The deadline is January 31st and only the first 3 entries will be accepted for the competition. Unlike some other photography-based clubs, the 4Cs does not charge an entry fee. The only requirement is that you are a member of one of the 4Cs Clubs and awards are sent to the various 4Cs clubs for presentation to the winners in person at a club meeting. Yes, it is still FREE OF CHARGE for all members of 4C’s clubs.
Be aware that entries are no longer sent as attachments to email messages. If you have questions or problems, I am happy to answer your questions via email at mrande@teleport.com. Please don’t send your entries to that email address but questions are fine.
GO TO THE NEW WEB SITE AND CHECK IT OUT AT WWW.4CS.CLUB. When you are ready, use the site to enter your photos in the competition.
Best Regards and I hope 2019 is a good year for you

Two First Places
Late Night Show Jim Heern
I shot this near Sanger Peak in September. The orange glow in the left hand bottom corner is the Natchez Fire. The green streak was produced by my laser pointer.
The settings were as follows: ISO 4000 24mm shutter speed 15 sec f stop 2.8
Lady In Red Cynthia Briseno
“Lady in Red was shot at 1/20 sec, f/2.8, ISO 5000, 28mm. I shot the photo December 15th. My husband purchased a photo tour for my birthday and this was part of the tour. I shot this at Horseshoe falls just as it got dark. The model is Sophie Clapton. Adam Marland was the lead instructor in the workshop. Adam and Sophie travel the world doing workshops such as these and Sophie has a following of over 55,000 on Instagram! They spend a lot of time in New Zealand. Adam has family here in Southern Oregon and was here to spend Christmas with them. I was so happy they had the time to do such a wonderful workshop!”
