Through The Darkness I Will Shine
By Daniel Allen
I made this image at the lighting studio at SOU, in my photography class we were to bring whatever we wanted to photograph while playing with the lights. I had one speed light on her face off to the right for this shot. My camera settings were, ISO 100, 70mm, f14, 1/200sec.
Congratulations! Daniel on a beautiful image. Look for Daniel’s image in print in the Daily Courier.
The Canoe
By Jim Ingraham
“This image was taken at Lake Lemolo in Oregon last June. It was shot just before sunrise. I was attracted to the stillness of the scene and the way the warm tone of the boat stood out against the blues and greens of the background. The technical details: Shot with a Nikon D850 and Sigma 24-105 lens at 48mm. F16 at 1/30th second and ISO 800, tripod mounted.”
Congratulations! Jim on a beautiful image. Look for Jim’s image in print in the Daily Courier.

“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!”

Image by Dale George
Congratulations! Dale on a beautiful image. Dale’s image will be printed in the Daily Courier. Below find out a little about Dale and this amazing shot.
I joined the Caveman Camera Club in 2013 to be around other like-minded photographers and to broaden my skills. Always looking for new challenges, I decided to try my hand at high magnification macro photography. I needed an interesting subject, and flies being particularly plentiful, it seemed like a good subject.
This image is 43 images stacked one on top of another. Extreme magnification images have a shallow depth of focus, so multiple photos are taken to bring the whole image into focus, exposing all the disgusting details of the fly. This image is taken at 5x magnification and no cropping. I used a Canon 5D Mk IV camera and Canon MP-E65 macro lens.
This was set up and photographed on my dining room table, and took about 3 hours from start to finish to render this final image. Not an easy process, but for a photographer…well worth the effort for a good image.
September Image of The Month
Clearwaters by Ross Steensland
I was scouting Stump Lake for the next morning’s photoshoot. After admiring a smoky orange sunset, I happened across Clearwater River. The gentle water progressively edged by vibrant grass and wildflowers, resting under an old mountain forest captivated my imagination. Armed with my canon 6D MkII, Tamron 28-75mm f2.8, B&W Polarizer filter, and a sturdy tripod, I decided a long exposure in the waning light could capture the brilliant colors along with silky smooth water I was enjoying. Exposure settings: 28mm, F11, ISO 50, 30 second exposure, edited in Adobe Lightroom.
Congratulations! Ross. We’ll be looking for your shot in the Daily Courier.
