“Light My Way” was an adventure out into the night to try something new that I had never done before. Trying my newly gained skills at night photography was totally fun! I used my Canon EOS R at f/13, 6 sec., ISO 200,18mm lens. Yes, I used a tripod and intentionally went out during traffic time to get the light stream of the cars. I look forward to more adventures in night photography preferably with other like minded photographers.
“General Store” was taken in Central Oregon at Fort Rock after sunset. It is a 3 image HDR combined in Photomatix, tone mapped, and some other tweaks before converting it to black and white in Silver Efex Pro 2.
The nuts and bolts….average exposure time .5 seconds, f/6.3 using my old Canon 5DMKIII and 24-70mm lens.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions, please email, text or call me. Cell Phone is 541-441-7925
Dec. 16th will be our next education meeting (online Zoom). Please pick between 7-10 images from a trip that you took recently. Could be exotic (Amsterdam) or local (day trip to the coast). For me, even more local (the burn in Talent/Phoenix). Depending on the number of people who play, we will have 5-10 minutes each to share and discuss. This is not a critique evening, more about sharing. Imagine everyone in a large virtual circle! However, be open to feedback, be curious, have questions and let’s all live vicariously through each others journeys. Dave Church will send a Zoom link to you a couple of days in advance of the meeting. See you all then.

Image is of Sarah, a local dancer. She was early on in her pregnancy during this shoot.
Technical data: ISO 64, f5.6 at 42mm using a Sigma 24-105 lens on a Nikon D850 Lighting: One light behind and above the dancer on the left, One light behind her on the right.(both lights providing rim lighting on her). There was a light for the backdrop. There was also a general fill left of camera to make sure the shadows on her didn’t go too dark.
