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.

Morning In Teton Valley by Rudy Dierks
I shot this image from about a thousand yards in front of the barn using a 400mm lens. I wanted to bring the mountains in close to show how grand they really are. This spot is near Jackson Hole. Just follow the crowd any early morning in the Fall.

Amy by Julie Padgett
My image of Amy has a fun back story. She contacted me via Instagram in June 2020 wanting to collaborate on a photoshoot. She is a model and photographer who travelled here from Colorado and set up photoshoot plans while visiting here. We photographed the begining of July locally, in the Redwoods, and at the Coast. It was a fun collaboration with great energy. The following is my data for this image: Nikon Z6, lens 70 to 200, 1/250 sec at f2.8, 140 mm, ISO 500.

Can You Read My Mind by Rudy Dierks
This image was taken last June at a friends cat sanctuary. It was shot at a distance of about 20 ft. with a 24/70mm lens at f8 -1/320. I shot about 30 images to get this handsome beast at his best.

A Prayer Cynthia Briseno
My girlfriend and I went camping, and did some antique shopping in Brookings. During the camping we were allowed to have a fire (of course way before these fires!), and I used my crystal ball to shoot the fire. We spoke about Halloween and decided on this year’s planning, so on the way home, we went into the redwoods. I was inspired by the red items we had purchased, and asked her to step into the forest for the shot. Once home, I made a composite of the ball and her shot. It’s the beginning of my favorite time of year – WITCHY HALLOWEEN!!
This photo was shot with my Canon Mark IV, with a Sigma 24-70 lens. Settings were ISO 250, F8.0,1/4 second.

Thor’s Well Jim Ingraham
This image of Thors Well was taken at sunset in the spring. Exposure data was 1.3 second at f16 and ISO 400. Lens was a 24-70 at 30 mm on a Nikon D810. The idea is to photograph here when the tides are about half way in or out. Too high and you’ll get wet and risk losing your camera, too low and the water will not reach the hole. Even so, sneaker waves have taken many cameras and lenses from unsuspecting photographers.

The Shell Station Jim Ingraham
This image is a light painting blend of about 4 or 5 images. For the main light source, I taped two small l.e.d. lights on a painters pole, extended it to about 15 feet and photographed for 30 second exposures. 2 or 3 images from the left for main light, one from the right for fill light. The Shell pump had its own light source so that was a separate exposure. I stood behind the station for one exposure to get some glow around the truck and structure. And one exposure to paint a little light inside the structure.
Nikon D850, Sigma 14-24 lens at 18 mm.
