Featured Images: Rodeo Cowboy was captured at the Casa Grande All Indian Rodeo held in Casa Grande, Arizona. All participants must be part of a recognized Indian tribe. Steer wrestling, also known as bulldogging, is a rodeo event. Lynn used a telephoto lens and fast shutter speed to stop the action. This image captures that moment with the details, such as the surrounding crowd of onlookers. Making use of his time while waiting for the ferry in the Republic of Ireland, Bill Lewis captured Lobster Traps at Sunset. He took five images with a six f-stop range then used Nik HDR Software to create the final composite. To learn more about HDR and sport/event photography, stop by a meeting or reach out to Lynn and Bill for tips and tricks.
Member/Club News: As Memorial Day approaches, the Sun Lakes Camera Club is once again preparing to assist the Lions Club in the distribution of the American flag for display throughout the Sun Lakes community to those who subscribe to the Lions’ Flag Program.
