Good morning guys,
Yes, I have been expecting the same.
I have to admit that I have not taken many photos lately and even missed several field trips with my photo club.
My latest hobby has consumed my free time and that is quilting.
This past week was our club's monthly meeting; amazingly enough, we continue growing. We are now up to 29 members!
Participation in the field trips has also increased, I am so happy for the two fellows that took it over. They have done such a great job.
At this month's meeting, we had our annual PRINT contest. Many of the members submitted some of their best work. There were two categories, COLOR and BLACK and WHITE. Now the photos will be presented before a group of people to judge. This year, there will be a first and second-place winner in each category. The prices aren't much, membership for one year for the first place winner and $10 for second place, but it is more about the bragging rights. Now we have to wait a month to find out the results.
I entered two photos, below is my B&W image. I might have shared an image similar to this one, but I had to crop it to be a 12X18. The one I think I shared with you before was a square format.
This morning I took my camera and my ND filters to the park. I wanted to catch the fall colors, what was left of them, and the blurred river water. I was able to use some NF filters that I had bought years ago for my NIKON lens but it wouldn't fit any of my OLYMPUS lenses. I never thought about buying an adapter ring. It worked great and I saved money by not having to buy new filters.
Tomorrow I will share some of those photos. But today is the B&W shot of the FIST, which is the huge sculpted fish of the famous Brown Bomber, Joe Louis. This sits at the foot of Woodward Ave in downtown, Detroit. If you turn around from facing THE FIST, you have a beautiful view of the Detroit River and across from the River, you can see our neighbors, Canada.
