Fall Creek
Photograph by Jim Ingraham
Jim writes about his Image:
Fall Creek is off Hwy 58 (Willamette Hwy) about an hour southeast of Eugene. It’s a beautiful day hike with some impressive falls. The creek is wonderfully surrounded with greenery. This image was taken in June a couple years ago. Shot with a Nikon D850 and 24 mm lens on a tripod. F16 at about a second and ISO 64.
I enjoy the camera club because it keeps me connected with like-minded enthusiasts of the photographic medium, whether beginners or advanced photographers.
Congratulations, Jim, on your beautiful image! Look for Jim’s image soon in the Daily Courier!

Hi Everyone,
Are you ready for some experiments in lighting? As a precursor to a bigger Lighting Ed. Night in January we are hoping you might be game to first try some things on your own at home. This will help us all to focus in January. …also it’s wet and Covid and Thanksgiving is soon.
The brief:
Shoot a subject of your choice and light it with one light source as well as at least one reflector or bounce card. You can use a diffusor with your light source if you like to “soften” the shadows. Think about the end result and how you go about creating the light you want to see on the subject.
This is about “seeing the light”. It helps you in all other types of photography as well. The lighting source can be a lamp, a speed light, or window light. But, a bounce card / reflector should also be used to fill in the shadows and dark areas. You can use more than one bounce card / reflector. These can be commercial reflectors, foam core, white cardboard, or pieces of white paper. Diffusors can be commercial made, a shower curtain, fabric, etc.
You can choose any subject you like. If you feel like creating an idiom which was fun last year, feel free if that gets your juices going. Ex. The Cat’s Out Of the Bag etc. or make a small still life, whatever you like. The learning focus is on the light and using it as a tool to enhance your image.
We will meet at Newman United Methodist Church, 132 NE B St, Grants Pass, OR 97526. Use the below-ground side entrance, there is parking on the this side as well.
We will share and enjoy the images together and talk about the challenges and answer questions etc. You have until SUNDAY NOV. 14th to get your images to Dave Church…use our competition parameters for sizing.
Above all, have fun! Cheers, Susan and Larry
