Education Meeting is Wed. April 21 – 7pm on Zoom

We are having a virtual scavenger hunt and it starts now! (by virtual I just mean we aren’t getting together for the actual scavenger hunt)
Please submit four photographs from the following categories to Dave Church by midnight on Tuesday, April 20th. Title them simply with your name and category number. See below for category numbers. Example: JimIngraham_1, JimIngraham_3, JimIngraham_5 and JimIngraham_6. Dave will put them in the appropriate folder and we will talk through each folder as it comes up. That will keep everyone involved for the entire meeting. Be loose and creative with the categories. Have fun.
Categories
#1. Put a mask on it.
#2. Something that screams ‘SPRING’ (or whispers it quietly)
#3. Motion blur (or the Pam Arbogast special)
#4. Wings (Animal, insect, angel…must I go on?)
#5. Looking up (a quick jaunt down to Stout Grove should do it)
#6. Reflections
#7. Animal (Insects included!) (you’re welcome, Dale George)
#8. The mighty Rogue River
That’s it.
Oh, and did I mention?…have fun.

I’m Over Here My Love    Rose Christner

Rose’s comments on her image; This was a planned shot, just about didn’t get there fast enough for the blue hour.  We had lighting issues that my team and I worked out. Keeping a model warm is my first priority, so I have to work fast in the cold weather as well as considering her safety. EOS R 19-135 lens F5.6,  20, ISO100 on Bulb 20sec.

Education Meeting is Wed. March 17th – OUTSIDE

Education Meeting is Wed. March 17th – OUTSIDE

Wednesday, March 17th will be our next education meeting. It will be a light painting field trip with Dale George as the teacher/instructor.
We will meet at Reinhart Volunteer Park (also known as All Sports Park) at 7 pm. When you go into the park take your first left. Just go to the end of the very long parking lot and you are there.
As much as I don’t want to say this, I gotta…Observe social distancing and wear your facial covering. I want all members to attend. I cannot and would not attempt to enforce this, do what you’re going to do, but please be respectful of others.
Bring camera, tripod, remote shutter (not absolutely necessary), fully charged battery, warm clothes, maybe a headlamp to see your camera dials.
Daylight savings time will be in effect so it won’t be getting dark until 7:30 or so.
Let’s get out of the house and have some fun.
Jim Ingraham
Education Coordinator

First Place

Guarding the Stash     Rose Christner

This is a composite of the Northern Flicker and the tree.  Normally you would see an Acorn Woodpecker on the tree as they stash the acorns in the trees. The Flicker eats acorns, but does not put them in trees. I should have named this “Stealing The Stash”. 🙂

Canon EOS R on tripod, 400 lens + 1.4 extender (560 mm). F8, 1/60 sec. ISO 400.

Two First Places

My Scrambled Brain     Rose Christner

This is light painting with different tools you can make or buy.  I used my large (10 lb) lens ball on a mirror. Then I used 48.2 sec to shoot all the different colors around the ball. Canon EOS R on a tripod at F16, 48.2 sec with a clicker, ISO 100, 18 mm.

This is really fun and a good exercise to get the feel of what light painting can do. Have fun with it!

 

The Proposal     Cynthia Briseno

Entitled “The Proposal”. Taken near Brookings,  I had asked the couple if I could take their picture and they said “yes.”  He had just proposed to her so I did some shots and sent them to them.  It was a wonderful day and I took advantage of capturing “their moment.”

Camera was Canon5d mark IV, 70mm lens, ISO 200, F22, 1/40 sec.
