Crescent Beach Photo Club Posted on by

We had a ZOOM meeting last night to present the member submissions for the August theme, “Shadows”.  Twenty seven images were shown from nine photographers.
I chose some merit winners as well as the photo of the month.  


Mother Natures heart – Brian Palmer


Hidden Shadow – Fransisco Molina


Bold – Lynne Kelman


Waiting on the tea to mash – Ron Kelman


and finally the photo of the month,


Urban Shapes – Carol Howe


Thanks to all for contributing and we will look forward to your Sept theme submissions “Pick a Patch”.   They are due October 7 to me ().
And continuing on with themes the new theme for October is, 


OCTOBER – “Food” – Be a product photographer for a day.  Anything that you can eat is food and is fair game this month.  Cooked or raw, it doesn’t matter.  Edward Weston found beauty in peppers and cabbages, what can you find?
