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.
Curtis P-40E was taken with a Canon 5DMK3 & 16-35 lens combination. ISO setting 100 at f/11 with 3 exposures plus & minus 1/4 sec. No flash used. I took a few liberties with this HDR image in editing because I was liking it’s illustrative feel. Scene was captured at the Madras Air Museum 2 summers ago with a friend from Redmond who hipped me to this museum.
This photo was taken on February 10, 2020. Nomeca and I were on a three day layover in Amsterdam, on our way to Tanzania. The picture was taken with an iPhone 7. I loved the reflections of the lights on the wet brick streets, and the lines of the light rail tracks.
