Over time, our images won a magazine cover and became part of several competitions. During the year, we work with a single judge processing camera club digital entries. At the end of each ELCC Club year, Members choose prints and digital images in several categories. In the summer, printed entries are entered in a juried competition at State Fair level.
When selected images receive judge’s critical acclaim, they appear briefly in our Awards Category.
In the past, our website has been an early indication of individual image popularity and critical acclaim. Much of this acclaim comes from Smugmug and its band of happy photographers! To celebrate that acclaim, we share our Awards…
Bisti Badlands was our first image to become Worthy Of Merit. Cover - New Mexico Magazine, January, 2006, with the inscription
“From more than 1000 entrants, we selected Albuquerque entrant Joe Bridwell’s shot of the Bisti Badlands for this month’s cover!”

Tranquility
Sunset's allure can add soft drama to a peaceful scene. It's nightfall at Bosque del Apache. Although the sun has just dropped below the horizon, direct rays in the clear atmosphere are reflected into golden ripples of water.
A jet contrail forms a hook in the sky. The soft breeze across the pond creates a ripple effect which nicely dissipates the contrail's reflection. The combined effect is that of the frame tending to capture the eye where ducks tranquilly feed.
Digital imaging included levels with Photoshop CS3, capture sharpening with Pixel Genius Photokit Sharpener, some sharpening of the dark land mass, quick selecting and masking the sky, then channel mixing to create a Velvia touch of land and water below the sky mask.
Tranquility received an Honorable Mention, Enchanted Lens Camera Club, May 15, 2008, from Phyllis Crossley.
