My Photos that won in the Camera Club Contests

Last year I joined a local camera club and 4 times a year they have contests and here are the photos that won. They were also published in the local paper. I loaded them backwards the newest one are first and the older ones are last. After the first contest I moved myself up to the Advanced class from the Novice class.

Non Human Faces - Bug Eyes Advanced color - Honorable mention

Blue Eyed Catcher - advanced Black and White - Third Place

In Between - The lavender Field - advanced color - honorable mention

In Between the Green - advanced color - Third Place

Golden Hour - Egg Hill Church- advanced black and white - honorable mention

The Best Shot - Old Softball - Novice color - First Place

Balanced - Novice Color - Second Place

And at the Christmas Awards dinner I was awarded first place (a tie with another member) in the Advanced Photographers. Which kinda means we were runners up for Photographer of the Year!

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.
