Susan writes about her image:
This was shot in Bandon at the beginning of October on an evening with rough seas. It’s a long exposure at 5 seconds just after the sunset. The photo was taken with an Olympus E-M1 Mark III at 36mm, f/14, ISO 250.
Congratulations, Susan, on your beautiful image! Look for Susan’s image soon in the Daily Courier!
Misty Stars Over Elephant Rock
Photograph by Nomeca Hartwell
Nomeca writes about her image:
This Bandon Beach shot nearly didn’t happen as first the moon and then the rising and falling mist interfered with getting a clean shot of the Milky Way. In fact, my shooting companion had already thrown in the towel, taken a warm shower and was resting in bed when I phoned her up and said it might be possible to get a decent shot if she hurried back out. ( she did much to my surprise). Those few minutes were all that we had and I succeeded in getting the 4 shots I needed before the mist closed in for good for the night. Nikon D750, 24mm lens, f/2.2 and 15 secs at ISO 3200 on a tripod.
I have been a member of the camera club for many years and enjoy the field trips, the photo challenges, and sharing the photo journeys’ of the many excellent photographers who pass through our doors.
Congratulations, Nomeca, on your beautiful image! Look for Nomeca’s image soon in the Daily Courier!
Snow Scape On Chrome Ridge
Photograph by Ozzie Cummins
Ozzie writes about his image:
“My photo was taken in the morning on Chrome Ridge about 20 miles directly west of Grants Pass. It had snowed the night before and was very cold, leading to nice light fluffy snow. So I set out early to get a nice drive in light snow (something I love doing in my Jeep), and perhaps get some good snow shots.”
“Snow was lightly falling and the storm started to break, with some sun beginning to shine through the clouds. I used my Nikon d750 with a 28-300 mm lens at 28mm. I set the exposure to f/8.0, ISO 100, and an Exposure Compensation of -0.33EV. Knowing snow shots, left to the light meter, will tend to be grey, but the sunny spots will over expose, I used a shutter speed of 1/500 sec, and an EV of -0.33 to properly expose this light-tricky shot.”

Digital Capture
Photograph by Larry Pollock
Larry writes about his image:
Digital Capture. A composite image for the Altered Reality section of the May Competition. Two images edited together to create the illusion of the camera sucking the landscape image into the camera and showing up on the back screen. The Altered Reality section of the competition allows for creating something you can’t see in reality. I had a vision of creating a fun expression of what a camera does as well as showing motion. Shot on a Fuji X-T4. Edited in Photoshop.
I have been a professional photographer since 2010. Growing up with film cameras in the 1960s, I learned a wide variety of skills from landscapes, night skies, products, model shoots, portraits and more.
I currently teach photography and lighting. My personal projects include black and white photos and a series highlighting the trash and garbage issues on the planet. I’m always fascinated with the modern techniques to create photographic art and joined the Caveman Camera Club in early 2018.
Congratulations, Larry, on your beautiful image! Look for Larry’s image soon in the Daily Courier.

The Proposal
This image, titled “The Proposal”, was taken near Brookings. I had asked the couple if I could take their picture and they said “yes”. He had just proposed to her, so I did some shots and sent the pics to them. It was a wonderful day, and I took advantage of capturing “their moment”.
