COMPETITION SUBJECTS FOR THE CLUB YEAR May 4th - Open June 1st - Architectural Detail July 6th - Open August 3rd - Backlighting September 7th - Open October 5th - Nighttime Images November 2nd - Open December 7th - Macro January 4th - Open February 1st - Water ( vapor, frozen, liquid) March 1st - End of Year THRU THE LENS DALLAS CAMERA CLUB FIELD TRIPS Join us for a weekend at Enchanted Rock and in old Fredericksburg on November Enchanted Rock is a state natural area. The "rock" is a huge pink granite dome that rises 425' above the ground and covers 840 acres with a beautiful stream that flows by the base. It is particularly photogenic early in the morning and late in the evening, and the view from the top is breathtaking. It is located on FM 965 about 18 miles north of Fredericksburg, an old German settlement founded in Fredericksburg features lots of antique stores, museums, restored 19th century homes and buildings, scads of B&B's or furnished cottages and several really good restaurants. Plan to meet the rest of us at Freidhelm's Bavarian Inn, 905 W. Main, at 7:00pm Saturday for a great schnitzel dinner. If you plan to go, please contact me at or We may be able to arrange joint accommodations or transportation for those who are interested. If you want to make your own arrangements, call the reservation There is also a Super 8 and Holiday Inn Express in town. Also of interest is Lost Maples State Park, about 60 miles SW. It boasts one of only two stands of native maple trees in Texas, and they should be spectacular at this time. Fredericksburg is 260 miles from Dallas. Follow I- 35 to Austin and go 60 miles west on US 290. I prefer the scenic route down through San Saba and Llano on SH 16.

This is a one month challenge for monochrome only. No change to the color print competition rules.
