A recording of our January 2025 Competition held both in-person and via Zoom. The subject was “Open” for this competition.
Our judge was Cheryl Opperman, a friend of the club who has judged for us before and who has also given presentations to the club. Cheryl is a nationally acclaimed nature photographer who has traveled to every continent in the world capturing spectacular images of nature, wildlife, and indigenous cultures. Widely published, her photographs have appeared in print, on the web, on television, and in solo and group exhibits, resulting in a list of clients or credits which include The American Humane Association, Overseas Adventure Travel, The Denver Post, the National Geographic Society, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
You can see Cheryl’s work and the many workshops she offers at her website https://cherylopperman.com/
This video has images from all the competition groups and they are presented in random order.
After a brief intro, the competition judging starts.
