Mother Nature’s Paintbrush    Cynthia Briseno

I took this picture on highway 238 on my way to Jacksonville with my Canon m50 lens 24-70.

 

False Kalmath Cove    Greg Smith

This image was taken in early January, 2020 on the Northern California coast, just North of the town of Klamath.  I spent the morning chasing Fog, Mist, or Rain for the assigned subject.  I loved the morning sun filtering through the fog, coupled with some nice surf at this location.  This was taken using my Canon 5D, Mk IV and 24-105mm lens.  My settings were: 24mm, f/18, ISO 1600, and 1/200 sec.

Diverging Skies    Ross Steensland

This photo is a composite blend of two night shots. The sky was taken during the 2nd night of the Milepost 97 fire on I5 just South of Riddle.  The foreground is the shoreline of Galesville Reservoir.  I light painted all of the cracked mud as well as the distant snags.
The foreground and sky both have multiple exposures blended to produce even lighting and depth of field.
Canon 6D mkii
Canon 24-70mm f2.8

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
