Congratulations to Susan Sheets for her winning image: Golden Creek

Susan Writes About Her Image:

It was brilliantly colorful along Taylor Creek this past fall. My partner and I visited several times to capture the colors and enjoy the quiet.  This image required a short scramble down the bank and water boots so we could setup our tripods in the creek and compose our shots.  I enjoy shooting with my OM Systems OM1 camera. This is shot at 50mm, ISO 200, f8, 1/4sec.  Another memorable fall excursion this year was a field trip along the Applegate River with the Wild Rivers Camera club.

Congratulations! to Carol Walker for her winning image: Reflecting

A great image for our Assigned Category of “Spot Color”

Carol writes about her image: The original colored version of this
photo was taken at Lake Selmac
while on a camping trip with family
in May 2024. This has been one of
my favorite photos since the day it
was taken, so when the assigned
subject of “Spot color” was given, I
instantly knew that this would be
the perfect picture for that.
The spot color photo was created by
turning the original into black &
white, then carefully selecting only
the green trees that you want in
color. This was probably one of the
most enjoyable project assignments
to date, although I love them all.
I u s e d a Nikon D600 c a m e r a with a
1 / 2
Nikon 70-300mm lens for the
original photo. My settings were:
1/320’s, F5.6, 150720@93mm.

Look for Carol’s image soon in the Daily Courier.

Congratulations to Jim Ingraham for his winning image: Chinese Garden

Look for Jim’s photo soon in the Daily Courier!

Congratulations to Susan Sheets for her winning image: Dockside Puzzle

This image was made on a beautiful day this year in late September in Astoria, Oregon. It was my first visit there. The location is on the dock near the Maritime Museum.

The repeating patterns and primary colors caught my eye as I turned to leave the dock. Though it is a very busy photograph, I see some order within. I think this image will make a great puzzle!

I made this image with an Olympus OM1 camera using the 12-100 pro lens. I really enjoy sharing my images with the supportive and fun group of photographers at the WILD RIVERS Photography Club.
