| Barb Athanasiou | Your final image is neat! I like the raindrop effect! Too bad the original software and instructions didn’t work out. I would have liked to try it as well. Adding the raindrops to the picture made a so-so picture into an interesting one. |

Love Uma and Louie in their little rain jackets. Interesting how you made the rain drops - even having them come out black because of the program you were using! |
| Dr. Mohanan Nair | Innocent looking pets. Rain drop effect is interesting. Nice catch light on the eyes too. |
| Sally Grugan | Cute! Unusual. Your dogs are very patient with you. -their eyes say "what next, Mom?" You do have fun with your photography. |
| Timothy D. Morton |
I love this shot as takes me back to a kid when I visited my Grandparents cottage in North Wales as everyone tried to stay dry as most of the time it rained at least twice a day. |
| Charles Blume | Very nice composition and effect. |

Sarah Donner - Biography
In my other
life, before retirement, I was a caterer for 19 years. Before I was
a caterer, I was a teacher. After I was a caterer, I helped my
husband in his engineering business. That was only fair, as he was
an integral part of the catering, also. I first started taking photos in 1986, using a Minolta
7000I. I loved that camera, and took rolls and rolls of film. I
hardly went anywhere without it. When it came time to switch to digital, I started out
with a Konica Digital Revio KD400Z. The only thing I liked about
that camera was the viewfinder. Yes, a small, early digital camera
with a viewfinder. What I disliked the most about the camera was the
lag. I then took the big step and bought a Konica-Minolta
7D. Yes, my two cameras merged into one. I chose the 7D because I
had a lot of lenses for it. That was probably not the wisest way to
make such a decision. But, I have it and I still use it. I am
tempted to replace it, but I don’t want to spend all that money.
Since I can shoot in raw, I figure I can fix what I don’t
like. Of course, about one month after this purchase, K-M
came out with the 5D that was about 20% smaller, 20% lighter, and
30% cheaper. Isn’t that the way with all technology today? The
minute you buy it, … I also have a LUMIX DMZ-TZ3 that I carry with me at
all times. I like the photos it takes, I hate the fact that it does
not have a viewfinder, and it is not an SLR. Other than
that… My favorite subject has always been flowers. My walls
are covered with my photos. Now that I have learned a lot, I would
like to replace many of them, but I won’t.
I am the president of our community Camera Club, but
feel that I have improved greatly since joining the Boynton Beach
Camera Club. I have learned a lot just by watching the judging of
the photographs. I will finally get to enter my photos in
competition in September. I am very
excited. Now that I have joined PSA and this study group, I
expect to improve even more. I am looking forward to being an active
member of our group. |
