“Geese Taking Wing” by Ray Rychnovsky placed second in Best Outdoor Action Photograph category in the annual awards of the Outdoor Writers Association of California. An alternate description, said Rychnovsky, is “running takeoff.”
Pleasanton resident Ray Rychnovsky was recently recognized by the Outdoor Writers Association of California (OWAC) Excellence in Craft Awards. His photograph, “Geese Taking Wing,” placed second in the Best Outdoor Action Photograph category.
Rychnovsky, who lives in Stoneridge Creek retirement community, had a career with Sandia National Laboratories but also has spent more than 70 years photographing nature.
He has written eight books on fishing including the San Francisco Bay Area Fishing Guide. He has also won many first-place awards in photography from OWAC as well as the national organization.
OWAC is the leading organization of professional outdoor media communicators in the western region, reporting on outdoor news from fly-fishing to leaf peeping, cooking on the trail, to vital legislation news and more for nearly four decades.
Now that shutdowns have resulted in more people turning to the outdoors, this reporting has become more valuable, noted OWAC president Carrie Wilson.
