DFW Gathering- Granbury Art Show-Sat June 26th

[Darren H]

Did you win anything?

As a matter of fact I did. One of my images took second place. There were about 150 entries and some very good work, I got lucky. My large format image of Mesa Arch in Canyonlands got nothing and the image I got of some horses in west Texas with my little digital point and shoot won second.

The show will be up at the Shanley House Gallery in Granbury through the end of the month if anyone want to see dome good work. Just be aware the gallery is not always open on regular hours so best to call ahead.

Perfect example of how little importance there is in the equipment. . . It is all about the image. . .

Could not agree more!

I actually was photographing rocks with mountains in the background when the horses wandered into the scene. Since I could not work the quickly changing conditions (ie the horses moving) fast enough with the tripod and camera, I left that and went to the p+s. Over 5 minutes I took a couple of dozen images (all handheld) but had three where everything just seemed to all align right. Sometimes luck plays a part and having the right tool to take advantage of it was smart planning I guess. So it was not my "best" camera but it was the best way to get the moment and the image.
