THE CONTESTS AND THE CONTESTANTS
Jack-O-Lantern Mushrooms by Chuck Gallegos
2004-2005 Arundel Camera Club Photo of the Year
Arundel Camera Club members are hungry for photographs but that doesn’t mean they’re out to lunch when subject matter is discovered. We say this because so many of the winners in both the Photos of the Year and the Club Events Contest were taken at lunchtime.
For example, Chuck Gallegos Photo of the Year was made during his lunch hour at work outside his office. Jack-o-lantern mushrooms grow around dead trees in the fall, according to chuck. This group was shaded by a stand of flowers. The sun suddenly punched through the flowers and Chuck took the picture stopping his 24-85 mm Canon lens down to f:22.
Howard Penn found the handlebars on a motorcycle while waiting for other club members to join in for lunch in Lancaster, PA. Sara Mc Neely found the floats at a restaurant that refused to serve the group (because of a minor in the group) at Bombay Hook. Donna Neal photographed a Civil War re-enactor at Potomac Falls, and then skipped lunch after the selected restaurant menu entrées started fairly well into two figures.

The Judges
Baltimore Camera Club judged the Photos of the Year contest and Christina Manucy, Director of Exhibitions Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts in Annapolis judged the Club Events Contest..
May Business Meeting
All officers were re-elected to their positions by a unanimous vote. It was decided that beginning in the fall Lens Lines will be published on line except for those members who do not have internet access. This will save the camera club an average of $30.00 per issue. And new contest categories will be published on the web site.
Photoshopping
Irving Penn, one of the great American fashion photographers, will have an extensive show at the National Art Gallery in Washington opening on June 19th. Still working and in his late eighties, Penn built his reputation in the 1950’s and 1960’s when the clothes were the subject rather than the people who wore the clothes. He used very simple design and lighting to turn out very elegant photographs.
Welcome Matting
One of our newest members is Tim Champney, a new resident of Easton from Columbus, Ohio.. Says he enjoys nature photography, "a few people pictures," and still life. He works with both film and digital imaging and says he seems to prefer black and white. Maybe that’s because his father began teaching him b&w photography when he was six years old. Like father, Like son ? Some of his work is on his personal web site:
