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

Two First Places

My photo,”Ballet Noir” was taken at Heartland Dance Studio’s dress rehearsal for “Pinocchio”. The photo was shot at 1/250 f4.0 ISO 6400 at 53mm with a 16-70 Zeiss lens on a Sony a6500 camera. It was converted into black and white in Lightroom. I have long been a fan of classic black and white movies and film photography, and this seemed like a great image to convert. I used a preset with a slight sepia tinge to warm up the image.

Ballet Noir    Judy Cox

This photo was taken on the beach in Mendocino this June. I light painted this large structure with a small flashlight a total of 29 different times to get this one image.  It is a single shot. That was a lot of running back and forth in the sand to open and close the shutter.  It was a beautiful evening in every way and well worth the effort.
