19 Aug 2026 Themes Perfectly Imperfect, Motion, Emotions: Cathy

Cathy is a member of the San Diego Poly Photos group and is very active with her camera. Much of what she does for that group is often shared with our group. It’s educational and enlightening to hear some of the feedback she gets from professional judges regarding many of the photos she share with us – critiques on technique, composition, and post-processing. We aren’t nearly as focused on compositional rules or technical perfection but more on creative expression.
The last three images are a post-processing exercise in improving an “imperfect” iPhone15 image.
Racehorse training & workouts can be photographed early in the morning on race days.
Cathy used the Slow Shutter app on her iPhone to create the clover ICM image.
