Judge: Pete Morton
Pete began taking pictures in 1959 when he lived in Taiwan, as the son of an Army officer who was stationed on that beautiful island. Over the years his interest in photography continued to grow.
Pete’s interest in Photoshop and digital photography never slowed. He accepted invitations to travel to England to lecture on digital photography at the university level in Cornwall and again later to teach advanced Photoshop techniques to professional photographers in London.
After retiring, Pete joined the Silver Spring Camera Club where he is currently a director and frequent presenter. He is also very active in the Photographic Society of America (PSA), where he leads a photography study group and selects photographers for the monthly Showcase.
Pete has received numerous awards, both local and international, and has been recognized by his club as the Photographer of the Year. His work has hung in the Maryland State House.
Pete is a Certified Photography Judge in the state of Maryland. He has critiqued portfolios, judged dozens of camera club competitions in Maryland, New York, Oklahoma and for the Photographic Society of America (PSA). Pete feels that listening, evaluating, and learning from the feedback and suggestions of others is how we grow as artists.

Battle-RAW-Yal : Christophe will provide the same RAW image (look for an email with link to the image), one with some difficult lighting, contrast and ISO issues. Your job is to edit to your taste. No holds barred!!
Use any platform you like, and feel free to crop, recolor, desaturate, use AI elements, recompose or create a composite... ANYTHING! There is no wrong or right way, only your way. Show off your skills and show us how you interpret the image using only your wits and editor of choice. Depending on the number of entries we get, each person will have roughly five to seven minutes to introduce the image, talk about their process, and explain their rationale for the edit. Questions will inevitably follow.

We will be staying at the Hilton Spark Hotel - formerly the Best Western where we will have stayed in the past - located at 7105 Maddox Boulevard right at the entrance to the wildlife refuge.

Free breakfast is available at the hotel. The total for a 2 night stay with all of the taxes and fees is 318.94. To make a reservation please call 757-336-6557 and press 1.There is no ability to make a reservation online at this time. Identify yourself as a member of the Baltimore Camera Club to obtain the group rate. You will need to give the hotel a credit card for a guarantee only. Nothing will be charged to your card. You may cancel up to 48 hours prior to arrival with no fees. After making a reservation it is important to email me at olympus21209@yahoo.com so I can keep track of the bookings.
