Curtis – P40 Dale George
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.

Rainy Night in Amsterdam Judy Cox
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.

Melted Pam Arbogast
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.

Mirrored Orchid Rose Christner
After over 3 hours and 100 or more shots and cleaning up a messy set-up on the kitchen table, I finally decided on this shot. I used a black velvet cloth background and a large mirror and a spray bottle of water. I used a tripod so as not to have camera shake and a clicker for my unsteady hand. The lighting I used was about as unprofessional as you can get…flashlights 😉 . Shot at F 5.6, 1/30, ISO 320 with my 18-135 lens and my Canon EOS R.

Infernal Flame by Ross Steensland
While traveling along Rock Creek road within the Archie Creek Fire, it felt like an otherworldly area. Looking through the dense smoke I could see nothing but ash and silhouettes of what were once large trees. One broken stump was still burning while spitting sparks into the air.
I shot 4 images of the scene and blended them for noise reduction and to capture more flying sparks.
