It's Your Shot: Pictures You Take And We Share

CHANNEL ISLANDS -

It seems everyone’s a photographer these days.

Cell phones capture amazing images. True DSLR cameras render detail that almost looks surreal.

We got to thinking. Why not share the pictures we receive, and see elsewhere, with you?

This week, a stunning palette of color as the sun sets over the Channel Islands.

The moment was shared with us by Sean, a Patch contributor, who captured the moment as it illuminated Santa Cruz Village and South Quad at California State University/Channel Islands.

Thank you, Sean, for sharing!

Have you got the next It’s Your Shot?

We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.

So, bring ‘em on.

No selfies. Not here.

Send your Shots - no more than 2 MB - as .jpg files to: dave.colby@patch.com and we’ll post the feature on an occasional basis.
