Camera Club Theme Winners for the End of the Year 2021

I had 2 winning photos in the End of Year Competition, consisting of winners from the previous competitions throughout the year.  You may have seen them before.  I was happy to have any winning photos this year, since it took extra effort to even stand long enough to photograph anything.  It is slowly getting a little easier, 16 months after my broken heel.  Other winners included 1st and 2nd by Leon Smith in the Advanced competition for Grandchildren and I'll Get a Hit, 3rd place by Eric Wilcox for Old House.  Leon Smith won Third place theme for Chincoteague Storm.  

Old Book Still Life from the Still Life themed competition was 1st place.

White Flower from the Three Colors or Less themed competition was 2nd place.  This was  cell phone photo, using my sweater for a background.  The flower is a Royal Star Magnolia.

Autumn is Finally Here in St. Mary's County!

I loved this red tree with a reflection in the water.  The light was really nice between the clouds.

Lovely reflection.

I played with the zoom on this one for an interesting shape.

 

Fun with Peppers!

 I wanted to try a still life of peppers, but I don't even like to eat them!  I gave a few away afterwards. They have such bold colors and fun shapes.

                       This LaRouge pepper looked like a little family at the right angle.

Same pepper, different angle.

                                      I used a light box for this one, shot from above.

                    I shook the camera a little for this one to make the glow.

Happy Halloween 2021!

 Here are a few Halloween pictures taken on my recent walks in the neighborhood.
