I belong to my local camera club, the Carroll County Camera Club, which is part of the Maryland Photography Alliance (MPA), an organization of the made up of many of the local camera clubs in here in Maryland. It’s a great club and we participate in several photography contests during the year. Be sure to see if there is a local camera club in your area. They are a great place for getting together with other photographers that have the same passion as you.

The Maryland Photography Alliance (MPA) recently held it’s 3rd annual photography contest. Although I didn’t win the prize level in any of the 3 categories that I entered, I was invited to exhibit one of my entrees as one of the top images of the competition.

The image that I was invited to display in this gallery is titled

Jesus in the Dome

So be sure to visit the Activity Center at Bohrer Park in Gaithersburg from November 1 2019, through January 20, 2020, to see my work and the works of other members of MPA camera clubs. There wa some great images entered this year and I plan to go and check them all out.

This was taken with my Nikon D80, at ISO 200, 18mm focal length, 0.8 sec at F8.0. It is cropped a little as I had to lay my camera blindly on the floor and set it to take my 3 bracket exposures on a timer so everything wasn’t exactly lined up. It was edited in Aurora HDR 2018 and may have been touched up with Luminar.
