Dragonfly and Corn by Larry Pollock
Larry writes about his image:
Dragonfly and Corn was created in my small photo studio using two light, and a black glass table with a black backdrop. I found the dragonfly a few months ago dead on our patio. Fully intact, I had been saving it for some photography. Having some dried corn from our holiday decorations seemed the perfect match as the dragonfly had the same colors. I used the corn as a leading line to bring the eye to the dragonfly. The intentional blur on the corn helps do the same thing. Editing was done in Capture One and Photoshop, removing lots of small dust specs on the glass and refining the image.
Camera: Fuji X-T4, Lens: Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR.
Settings: 1/60th second, f/10, ISO 400, 50mm.
Congratulations Larry! on a beautiful image. Look for Larry’s image soon in the Daily Courier.

Aphrodite by Bridget Cline
Bridget writes about her photo: This is a composite of two separate images. The subject was taken at the beginning of September 2022 while on a shoot in Arizona, and the mirror was taken at the end of September 2022 at my home. I use a Nikon Z6 to capture my images. The subject image was taken with a 50mm lens and the mirror was taken using a 24-70mm lens. I then put the images together in Photoshop.
Congratulations Bridget! on a beautiful image. Please look for Bridget’s photograph in the Daily Courier soon!
Photo of the Month September 2022
Ticket to Ride by Susan Sheets
Susan writes about this image:
This photograph of jockey Taylor Smith on July 4th at Grants Pass Downs was taken while panning with the camera. Moving the camera left to right in a smooth motion while synced with the speed of the horse creates a sense of motion and yet retains detail. The racetrack is the perfect place to play with this technique. The camera settings for this particular shot were ISO 250, 124mm, f10 at 1/100 second.
Congratulations! Susan (lol, it’s me). Look for Susan’s image soon in the Daily Courier.
