First Place

Art Dog    Jim Ingraham

Technical info: Nikon D810, handheld, 1/100 second @ f6.3 and ISO 400. 24-70 mm lens at 24 mm.
Image was taken in open shade at ‘Art along the Rogue’ on H St. between 6th and 5th St. I did my best Donald Duck impersonation. The dog tilted his head and I took the shot. Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop for basic corrections and added a Topaz filter (Fur and Feathers) for a unique look.

Umpqua Gem    Ross Steensland

This photo was taken over Cow Creek just West of Riddle Oregon as it enters the canyon on March 16th. I was there to explore the area and was not expecting much of a sunset since it was fairly overcast, but a pink glow lit up the West end of the canyon.

Golden Snow    Ross Steensland

This photo was taken on the top of Boomer Hill road just North of Myrtle Creek on Feb 21st.  I drove up with the intention of taking some portrait photos of Beth, but found the snow to be too deep and bitter cold. Seeing signs of a good sunset and finding a beautiful snowy field with snow capped trees, I knew I needed to wait for sunset there.
