Jesus in the Dome

Maryland Photography Alliance (MPA) Gallery Show

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.

The National Arts Program at Johns Hopkins Medicine

For 6 years now the Johns Hopkins Medicine community (University and Hospital) have been participating in The National Arts Program and I missed getting any of my work into those shows. I didn’t even find out the program existed until last year when I happened to walk through the Turner Auditorium’s lower level and see everyone’s work on display.

This year I made sure that I would have a photo that is part of the program.

So come on by the Turner Auditorium lower level anytime between Sept 9 and Nov 16, 2014 to view my work along with many other talented artists from the Johns Hopkins Medicine Community.

This is a judged show for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Best of Show prizes, but it also has a People’s Choice Award that you get to vote on. So come on down and vote for my photo.

I’ve entered my Tall Ships at Night Panorama.

You have until October 1st, 2014 to vote for the People’s Choice Award.
