Winning Photos from St. Mary's County Camera Club Competitions

I have been so busy this summer with River Concerts, exhibits and such, that I forgot to post my winning photos from St.Mary's County Camera Club competitions. April-June

In April, I got 2nd prize for the theme adult beverages.  This was hard, since I rarely drink, but managed to find a bottle of rose wine in the fridge.  It was sort of tricky, pouring wine with one hand and clicking the remote shutter with the other.  I didn't have too many to pick from and I had to pour VERY slow.  Photographed on black plexiglass to make a nice reflection.

     

In May, I won first prize in Advanced for a Gerber Daisy photo.  I actually took the picture as a photo exercise from a book of practice ideas.  It came out nice and sharp.


In June, I had 2 winners, third prize for the theme cooking with the boyscouts at the River Concert and third prize advanced for a laid back swan in Pennsylvania.
