“Kelp”
Photograph by Jim Ingraham
This image, titled “Kelp” was taken from Citizens Dock Rd. in the harbor at Crescent City, Ca. It was a bright and sunny day and the winds were calm. The kelp was sitting near the surface and I could see the seafloor as well as clouds reflecting in the water. The color of the water was a beautiful blue green. I thought it would make for a compelling image.
Taken with a Nikon D810 and Tokina 24-70 mm lens at 40mm. ISO 125, Shutter speed of 1/125 and aperture of F8
Congratulations! Jim on a beautiful image. Look for Jim’s image to be featured soon in the Daily Courier.

“General Store”
Photograph by Dale George
Dale writes about this image:
“General Store” was taken in Central Oregon at Fort Rock after sunset. It is a 3 image HDR combined in Photomatix, tone mapped, and some other tweaks before converting it to black and white in Silver Efex Pro 2.
The nuts and bolts….average exposure time .5 seconds, f/6.3 using my old Canon 5DMKIII and 24-70mm lens.

Photograph by Rose Christner
Rose writes about her image:
This photo was taken in my Grants Pass backyard this late summer. I have been trying to perfect my bird shots since joining the Caveman
Camera Club in 2015. I have had wonderful photographer mentors, and would encourage those that love photography to join a club near them.
I used my Canon 80d with a 400mm lens plus a 1.4X extender. Exposure was f8 at 1/1000 sec., ISO 640, with a tripod.

Grosvenor’s Arch Trails
Photograph by Larry Pollock
Larry writes about this image:
Grosvenor Arch is approximately 30 miles east of Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. It is in a remote area accessed by a dirt road.
I love shooting in the extremes of light. This image required taking the foreground image just after dark in the blue hour. The stars were captured over a 75 minute period and 305 images just after the first image.
Shot on a Fuji X-T3
Foreground: 1.3sec at f/9, 16mm, ISO 200
Stars: 10sec, f/2.8, 16mm, ISO 10,000

Amy
Photograph by Julie Padgett
Julie writes about her image:
My image of Amy has a fun back story. She contacted me via Instagram in June 2020 wanting to collaborate on a photoshoot. She is a model and photographer who travelled here from Colorado and set up photoshoot plans while visiting here. We photographed the begining of July locally, in the Redwoods, and at the Coast. It was a fun collaboration with great energy.
The following is my data for this image: Nikon Z6, lens 70 to 200, 1/250 sec at f2.8, 140 mm, ISO 500.
Congratulations, Julie, on a great photo! Look for her winning image to be featured in the Daily Courier very soon!

A Prayer
Photograph by Cynthia Briseno
Cynthia writes about her image:
My girlfriend and I went camping, and did some antique shopping in Brookings. During the camping we were allowed to have a fire (of course way before these fires!), and I used my crystal ball to shoot the fire. We spoke about Halloween and decided on this year’s planning, so on the way home, we went into the redwoods. I was inspired by the red items we had purchased, and asked her to step into the forest for the shot. Once home, I made a composite of the ball and her shot. It’s the beginning of my favorite time of year – WITCHY HALLOWEEN!!
This photo was shot with my Canon Mark IV, with a Sigma 24-70 lens. Settings were ISO 250, F8.0,1/4 second.
