    This was my first event with the group and I really enjoyed it. Eric was a great guide and showed us excellent shooting locations, as well as providing a lot of suggestions and assistance in taking landscape shots - his expertise and experience really show. The only downside was the wind, but at least we had brilliant sunlight. I look forward to more photography adventures with this group.

    A few months ago, I decided to learn photography as a way to help me see the beauty around me that often us Military veterans struggle to find.I was assigned to prepare a photo marketing project for my CNM Visualizing Studio Photography class taught by Stefan Batist. I chose to show the elegance of Lamarca Prosecco Rose for my project portfolio.

    Franklin, Wiggles (sister) and I all live in Albuquerque, NM. Franklin is a rescue that found me after I lost my Mini Dachshund, girl, Casey. He is a sweet, affectionate, gentle little spirit that came from an abusive environment but now lives peacefully, acting as a model, in my little home studio. The photo was shot with a Lumix 5sii, 50mm, f9, iso 100, 1/60 shutter speed and a 2-flash set up.

    This is a close-up of a flower called a cineraria. It?s from a color slide taken back in the late 70s/early 80s. I bet many others also have older images that the rest of us would like to see.9

    I was taking photos of red gebera daisies as part of a red challenge for a photo group. They are one of my favorite flowers to photograph. I love the small details in the flower that you can capture with a macro lens.

    Title or Location: Eagle Nest, NM
    This photo was taken in May 2023. I had just gotten my Canon 100mm Macro lens and was giving it a test run in front of the shop where I work at in Eagle Nest. Since flies seem to stay still a little longer than most insects it was a great test subject. I was amazed at the detail I got with my new lens.

    I was soaking in the sun on a beautiful day with my camera and zoom lens when i spotted the dragon fly on the antenna of a car parked car close to my apartment. The vivid colors and the beauty of the moment was no lost on me and i immediately zoomed in with my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I was glad the dragonfly was in no hurry to fly away. I was all smiles when i looked at the end result. The bokeh effect and beauty of the dragonfly. My camera settings were SON

    This picture was taken by a large window, three pencils (RGB coloured) were laid on white card which was curved up in the distance, but the curve cannot be discerned due to the very shallow depth of field and even light, giving the impression of infinity into the distance ...
