Three First Places

Golden Delight    Bridget Cline

 

A Storm Brewing    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”.

The image was shot with a Canon 5D Mark IV, with a Canon 24-70 mm. Lens at f11, shutter speed 500, 200 ISO.  I was formerly a member of Caveman Camera Club for several years, and recently rejoined to commiserate with friends.

 

Rocky Pools    Ross Steensland

This photo was taken near Avila Beach CA in late December.  After an unsuccessful search for some sea caves, I noticed these scenic pools overlooking Shell Beach in the background. I used a 10 stop ND filter to take several minutes of exposure, then a bracketed photo with a polarizer filter for the rocks and sky.
