Randy Shellenbarger\u2019s\u00a0print of a door in Woodland Cemetery here in Van Wert took top honors.\u00a0 Randy observed that &#8220;slides&#8221; was an\u00a0antiquated term, plus the fact that it was difficult to compare a\u00a0print and a slide.\u00a0 He suggested that the club confine its competition only to prints so it would be easy to compare pictures side by side.\u00a0 This suggestion was met with approval of those present with the amendment that a duplicate could also accompany the print on a jump drive for additional study if it was requested or selected as the winner.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation then bounced around on a variety of topics including where was a good place to photograph Eagles. Mike Taylor suggested that\u00a0one place\u00a0was the Salamonie Reservoir\u00a0some 10 miles south of \u00a0Huntington, Ind.,\u00a0and Shellenbarger said there&#8217;s a nest that can be seen back along the river between\u00a0State Road\u00a0and\u00a0the Ottawa River\u00a0on the north side of 309\u00a0and that another location for eagles is the\u00a0Bresler Reservoir south of 309 along Grubb Road.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow the conversation then moved to a toilet specifically made for Ohio State Buckeye fans. From there it bounced around till someone suggested that toilets and their surroundings (outhouses) should be the\u00a0theme for next month&#8217;s competition.
