This image was taken at Wright Patterson Air Force Museum, Dayton, Ohio.

It is a three shot HDR shot at f4, iso 6400, Oev, -1ev, +1ev, combined and tone mapped in Photomatix 60 and then light post work in LR.

Two First Places

High Desert Skies    Ross Steensland

This photo was taken early Sept. in the Modoc National Forest. I light painted the foreground by brushing my flashlight beam across the scene from edge to edge to give the unique lighting on the grass. I then proceeded to light paint the junipers in the back separately. Finally, I took 7 sky images to stack for noise reduction.  Foreground: f8, iso 1000, 4.5 min exposure blended in photoshop.

 

Jupiter and The Milky Way    Susan Sheets

The Milky Way and Jupiter shot at Secret Beach in September was a very nice evening to remember and shoot. Cloudless skies, good company, no wind and warm temps!  15 sec., iso 6400, f2.8

First Place

Brother Elias, Sister Ester    Dale George

This is a single shot setup in my garage with a black cloth backdrop, illuminated at the top from both corners with red LED lights. It is lit with 2 Canon strobes about 2 feet off the ground in front and at an angle towards either side. It is shot at 70mm, f5, iso 6400 with a Canon 5DMKIV.  Post processed in LR and On1 Effects using a small amount of detail extractor, and glamour glow. The faces were lightened and clarity added for effect.
