First Place
Image of the Month
“The Bad Nun” Jim Ingraham
Please don’t be offended. This image was was taken for the monthly assignment “Contradictions” and is meant to be light hearted and humorous. Taken at the old Golden schoolhouse near Wolf Creek. Three flashes were used. One at 45 degrees camera left behind photographer, one with a grid spot to light the cross, and one backlight (also with a grid spot) that is accentuating her stomach and the whiskey bottle. ISO 400, F6.3 and 1/6 second to allow some ambient light to fill in the shadows.

a monster fire right over the border that really shows up well at night. Sadly it took out many homes including fellow Lookout ( 50+ years as Lookout) Nancy Hood’s who lives in Scott’s Valley

“All Thumbs” Greg Smith
“All Thumbs” is my representation of a contradiction. Using a remote shutter release, I took a studio shot of my own arm. In Photoshop I created a duplicate layer and rotated that layer 360 degrees. Using layer masks and the cloning tool, I was able to manipulate the image to conjoin the two arms and create the final ghoulish image. My camera settings were: 200 ISO, 1/10th of a second, f 4.5, and a 82mm focal length. I believe I used two studio flashes for this exposure.

“Where’s Waldo?” Dale George
I decided that for the camera clubs assigned category of “Temptations” I would use some props and dog toys that were in my closet. I wanted to go for a humorous type of image that would be something different and perhaps just a bit disturbing. These Halloween dolls are easy to work with and they don’t expect to be paid for their modeling work!!
1/2 sec. exposure focal length 27mm ISO 400 aperture f/5.6 Taken with a Canon T2I and Canon 10-22mm lens.

“Rogue River Railroad Bridge” Jim Ingraham
Taken in Gold Hill, Oregon. Shot with a Nikon D810 and 70-200mm lens at 86mm. Exposure data was ISO 64 and F22 at 1/2 second, tripod mounted. I needed F22 because of the deep depth of field. The image was flipped horizontally in post processing.
