February 19: Fort Myers Camera Club

On Monday we went to the Fort Myers Camera Club for Joyce's first competition there. This was a projection competition which means that the images were shown as slides. There are two divisions: Advanced and Novice. Joyce is in novice as she is new to competition. The images of the two divisions are shown commingled but the points are tallied separately.

There are three categories: Assignment, General, and Nature. The Assignment was Doors and Windows. Joyce entered the two images shown here. The upper one is from Far View House in Mesa Verde National Park. It won First Place (tied)!

This one is from Taos Pueblo in New Mexico. It also won First Place (tied) -- I tied with myself!

In the General Category Joyce entered the above photo called "Inside the Strawberry" from the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. It won Second Place.

This one is also from the Balloon Fiesta. It won Third Place!

In the Nature Category Joyce entered the photo above of a tree at Dead Horse Point in Utah. It won First Place!

This is her other entry in Nature and is from Mesa Falls in Idaho. It only won Honorable Mention. In case you haven't been counting, three images at Naples with three winners and six images at Fort Myers with six winners. Joyce could say she's not bragging, just reporting the facts, but let's face it: She's bragging!
