of Hawk Mountain Print Contest Winners, here is some insight into our
"Wildlife/Animals" category winner, Charlie Blume.
Charlie: I Started my interest in photography when I was in the Army in 1960. (I) h ad a darkroom up until about
1970 (and) shot a lot of sports in those days. (I) b ought my first digital camera,
(an Olympus 3030) in the early 90’s. (I) c urrently use aNikon D-50. (I)
started digital printing with the Olympus and an Epson 1520,
(then) moved to the Epson 2200 (the 1520 died) in ‘o4 and the
Nikon in ‘o5.
I’m retired and my photography is a hobby. I currently shoot mostly wildlife and
landscapes. ‘Cruisin’ was a grab
shot, taken at Fred Howard Park, in Tarpon Springs, Fl. It is a favorite of mine, even with the overexposed tail
feathers!! Tech data: ISO 200, f6.3 at 1/1000 sec., shutter priority, 200 mm with the 55-200 Nikon kit
lens.
I first heard about Hawk Mountain papers in a forum on www.photo.net and gave it a try. I use Sharpwing Lustre paper for color
and have started using Grayhawk BW for my black and white and am very
happy with both.
Charlie is a
valued customer of Hawk Mountain Papers. We appreciate his business and
contribution to our print contest and this newsletter.
