Hello Photographers! This space is dedicated to a group of photo enthusiasts who will be diplaying their photography at the Fall 2011 Olympia Arts Walk. We have all studied under the guidance of Barbra Kates, and this will be our first public display capturing our learning, for some, over the last year and a half. Our exhibit is being hosted by Don's Camera, which has so graciously donated the front of the shop for our work. The Blogspot is for all committed entrants to post weekly images based on the weekly photo assignments.

Laura Cameron - Exhibit Photos

These are the finalists, but of course I still haven't entirely made up my mind which three -- so I sprang for an extra print, just in case the song sparrow comes out blah... (The captions weren't appearing in the preview screen, so I've repeated them above and below the pix.)

I've also posted Tim's three photographs, since I happened to be online.

This is Dragon in the Orchid Garden, National Botanical Gardens in Washington DC. Also from DC is The Wall. The black and white image is The Trail.

More nautical moments

The Lady Washington was looking the other way, and didn't notice the city at all...

All taken very early (before 8am, anyway) on Labor Day weekend.

Hawaiian Chief visits Olympia

The Hawaiian Chief tall ship appears to have snagged Olympia's capitol dome in its rigging... 

Littler sailboats are content to just frame the building from their docks...

Try at a Wedding Photo


My nephew married this beautiful Northwest lady in August, which gave me a first try at photographing the "white".  For two days I captured candids and made fast friends with Ms. Sony.  The pooches were the ring bearers - bow-wow lovely and dolled up.  F/9, 1/160s, ISO 200, 18 mm, fill flash., auto wb.  PS'ed the people out of the background, flash tones as shot.



The groom's big girl, ready to trot.  f/8, 1/160s, ISO-200, 35mm, fill flash, auto wb.  PS'ed the color definition, and the walkway shadows.

Earth, Wind & Fire -- Terri Perkins



This summer, my dear mother-in-law passed away after a 2 year battle with cancer. She was an inspiration to me, her family and all who knew her. On September 1st, her devoted husband, her son (my husband), and I hiked up to the top of Mt. Ellinor to spread her ashes. It was her wish to make it to the top -- so we took her there. It was a beautiful day and the mountain goats followed us up to the top of the mountain and gathered with us as the wind and clouds whisked by. I want to share with you some of my favorite images from that day...









































Recreation -- Terri Perkins





The first shot was taken from my kayak in Eld Inlet -- Underwater Canon D10.


The other shot was taken at Hood River, OR, as we watched our friend, Sean, windsurf!

Nikon D90 -- f/6.3, 1/1600 sec., 55mm, ISO 400










10 minutes from my house -- Terri Perkins







These water shots were taken from my kayak in Budd Bay (a little less than 10 minute drive from my house!). I used my underwater Canon D10 to capture these images.

Summertime -- Terri Perkins

This shot was taken this summer from the garden at The Edgefield in Troutdale, OR. One of our favorite getaways. Sunflowers, bees, sunshine = Summertime!

Around the Bend -- Terri Perkins




Early morning near Boston Harbor. We were off in our boat to catch crab... "Around the Bend".
