“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.
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.
This image was taken at a used car lot on Highway 99 in Phoenix, Oregon, after the destruction from the Almeda fire. When I saw the cars, I wasn’t even sure if it had been a car lot or a junk yard, as the vehicles were melted and crumpled from the intense heat of the fire. While adjusting the tone curve in Lightroom, I accidentally stretched the curve in a way that distorted the colors. I liked the way it looked, so rather than undoing my mistake, I went with it, and added further edits. Shot with a Canon 7D, 70-200 lens at 110, f9.5, 1/180 sec, ISO 125.
