Electronic Image Competition – Assignment “Shadows/Silhouettes”
First Place – Tie
“Hanging Man” Nomeca Hartwell
This anomalous bleak object high on a blank building wall opposite Leon, Nicaragua’s giant Revolutionary Mural caught my eye. I had to use full lens extension on my portable Canon G1x ( 112mm) and even then ended up cropping to 1/10. I deleted 2 other thin diagonal wires that crossed the sculpture in CS6 and finished with a frame effect from Perfect Effects that seemed to compliment the subject matter. Since there wasn’t any writing or label, I don’t know exactly who or what the object referenced. 1/640 at f/5.8, ISO 100.

“Rough and Ready” Ned Booth
Through many years of film and into the digital age I was my wife’s Sherpa. I carried a 40 pound back pack full of her camera gear up hills, down in to valleys, for what seemed like miles and miles. Then after we got to that ideal spot I had to hang out (most of the time very quietly) for hours. One day I picked up here spare camera and started taking photos. Today we each carry our own backpack We live near Cave Junction where I am one of the volunteer Photographers for the IV Fire Department. One beautiful summer day the IVFD was having a volunteer appreciation Bar B Que when the alarm came in for the Krauss Lane Grass fire. This allowed me to respond with the department. The high winds and dry conditions that day caused the fire to quickly grow. Because of the excellent mutual aid agreements in place for SW OR, firemen from many different departments covering the entire area quicklystarted showing up. This photo is of one of them that came to help. As a home owner I would like to thank all of them.

“Smoky Sunset on the Rogue River” Jim Ingraham
This image was taken near sunset on the Rogue River across from Schroeder Park. No filters were used, the sky was partially obscured by a layer of smoke from distant fires. It actually looked like this! (well, sort of…of course my eyes could see a much greater dynamic range). August 2015. Image data: Nikon D810, 70-200 lens at 78mm, ISO 400, F11 at 1/500th
