Woods Pup
Photograph by Ross Steensland
Woods pup was taken last fall after a long day working in the woods. I saw my coworker’s puppy playing with big brown maple leaves while the last rays of golden light came down. I was inspired to capture such a picturesque scene and thus began the process of trying to get a hyper puppy to sit still.
The photo was taken with a Canon 6DmkII and a Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens. Camera settings were f4, 1/500 sec @ 140mm
I have always enjoyed taking photos, but I did not acquire a serious interest until late 2017 when my finance persuaded me to purchase my first DSLR. Since then I have jumped in head first while learning and practicing everything I can. I enjoy photographing landscape, automotive, aerial imagery, and I work real estate photography in my spare time. I joined Caveman Camera Club in 2018 from the suggestion of a friend.

Cuernos Glow
Photograph by Pam Arbogast
This photograph was taken in mid-March, 2020, in Torres Del Paine National Park, in Chilean Patagonia. It was the day of our much anticipated arrival at the park, after two weeks exploring wine country, and the lakes district in Chile. My husband and I had spent many hours in our rental car, driving to the park, and were eager to get out, hike, and photograph this amazing place. This hike especially had been recommended to us because the famously fierce Patagonian winds were NOT blowing on this particular afternoon. I shot this photo as we finished our hike and the evening glow lit up the wall next to Los Cuernos (The Horns). I saw these mountains several more times in our remaining four days in the park, but this was the most beautiful view. Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short by a day as the park closed due to measures to control the spread of corona virus. Canon 7D. 24-70 Canon lens at 33m, ISO 400, f9.5, 1/125
Congratulations! Pam on a beautiful image. Look for Pam’s image in the Daily Courier sometime very soon!

A Storm Brewing
Photograph by Rudy Dierks
“This photo was taken in late April in the Alabama Hills Recreation Area of the eastern Sierras near Lone Pine, California. I really enjoy photographing this area, as not only is Mt. Whitney the backdrop, but the location is famous for it’s rugged rocky scenery. I was fortunate enough to be there when wildflowers were in bloom”.
Congratulations! Rudy on a beautiful image. Look for Rudy’s image sometime soon in the Daily Courier.

PNW, Late Spring Rain
Photograph by Ozzie Cummins
I had been exploring some of the fire burned area from last summer’s Klondike Fire. It was raining all morning with fog and low clouds obscuring most of the high country.
I was following a logging road near Silver Creek, west of Chrome Ridge. I drove down a steep ridge heading west. Suddenly, the sun partially broke through, lighting up the tips of the limbs of Douglas fir and the newly recovered (from fire) ferns in some areas of the scene. It was classic PNW in full bloom!
It was shot with my Nikon d750, 28-300mm lens. Focal length of 56 mm, F8, 1/500 sec at ISO 100.
I began photography about the time I joined the Caveman Camera Club in 2009. I’ve enjoyed photography, camaraderie with other club members, and 4x4ing ever since. They all go together so nicely.
Congratulations! Ozzie on a beautiful image. Look for Ozzie’s image sometime soon in the Daily Courier.
