Apple Harvest Brochure

You all might remember I won a photo contest last year for the Apple Harvest Festival, well a couple of weeks ago while we were at the south mountain fair I saw a AHF brochure in a 4-H display and thought I wonder if they used my photo? I carefully took it out of the display and looked.... they did!! And I gently put it back into the display. Now, where can I find one, I looked around the fair (it is on the same grounds as the AHF) but did not find any. So this weekend we went on an orchard hunt in Adams co. and at the second orchard we found them!!!

The Outside

And the Inside... there it is and even my name!!

Now, this same photo will be entered in the still life category at the York fair in a couple of weeks, maybe another ribbon, I doubt it but who cares!

Here is the link about it in January.

Oh, by the way inside it says admission to the AHF is $9.00 I can't believe it. It has been over ten years since I was even there and then it was 5 or 6. I was a vendor so I got in free.

WELCOME

Hello, glad you could find the time to visit! The Clicks Of My Shutter welcomes you to a photo journal of things happening around me, places I go, sometime just to take photos. I am an amature photographer who likes taking photos more than people like looking at them!! Most of the photos can be viewed larger, I keep them pretty small for easier uploading. Remember you can look at older posts by clicking the older posts link at the end of the page. All photography is copyrighted automatically but I don't mind if you use my photos for yourself, all I ask is if you use them on another website give credit where credit is due. If you are thinking of family or other photos, e-mail me at debapaka@aol.com Thanks for visiting!

~ What To Wear ~

I found this on the Web and thought it was usefull! Photographers shooting a traditional family portrait will suggest that members wear a uniform color that the entire clan feels comfortable in. The safest colors are solid muted tones that don't distract from a person's face. Suggested color "dos" include: •Brown •Blue •Rust •Burgundy •Mocha •Hunter green •Gold Conversely, there are a number of colors that you shouldn't sport on family picture day. Some color "don'ts" include: •Purple •All neon or fluorescent colors •Bright red •Bright green •Gray In addition, individuals with fair skin should avoid wearing flesh-tones, such as: •Beige •Tan •Peach •Pink •Bright white •Yellow •Rose •Apricot Black is a controversial color in the world of family portraits. Some photographers recommend wearing black during formal shoots, though most pro shooters tell their clients to avoid wearing black in family portraits because the color may cause lighting issues. Extreme contrasts are to be avoided at all costs during photo shoots, especially when multiple subjects are involved. You're better off sticking with neutral colors that will accentuate your natural features.
