Fall colors captured by photo club

Staff Reports


Gold and red autumn foliage were featured at the Carson Valley Photo Club's monthly contest. Pat Stanley won first place with a close-up of ornamental pear tree leaves in his backyard. He titled the winning shot "Morning Dew Drops" but said he had to help Mother Nature's dew with a few sprays from a water bottle. The photo captured a deep red color of the leaves only days before they fell to the ground.

"Golden Morning" was the title of Eddie Ford's second-place entry taken of Aspen trees near Picketts Junction.

Ralph Phillips went no farther than his backyard to shoot "Faded Zinnias," which won third place.

"Emotion" is the theme for the club's next contest, to be judged at its annual holiday pot-luck dinner meeting Dec. 14.

The club welcomes new members - amateurs to professionals. It meets the second Tuesday each month at Carson Valley United Methodist Church, 1375 Centerville Lane, Gardnerville. Information, club president Doug Dill, 783-4388.
