Delaware Beach Life Magazine Cover by Ken Arni

Ken states the following Interesting information from the editor; Many folks send him images for the cover.  They are usually cropped in Portrait format and aren't wide enough for the cover.  The editor prefers a more square crop so they can move around to fit on the cover between all the necessary printing.

Ray states that it was quite interesting taking very long exposures at small f-stops in some of the dimly lit areas of Longwood.  A typical exposure was from a few seconds to maybe 20+ seconds to capture an f16 image.    Longwood has invited each of the students to submit two of their favorite images from the workshop which Longwood will be printing the  images and hanging them in the cafeteria.
