Rust in Peace – Greg Smith
Greg says of his image:
“Rust In Peace” was my representation of “decay”. A visit to the wreck of the Peter Iredale was a side trip from our camping trip to Cannon Beach last year. I was hesitant to shoot the scene due to the mid-day sun and abundance of tourists. With a little coaxing, I grabbed my camera and looked for a vantage point and moment that made for an interesting (and people free) image. A mask layer was used in Lightroom to balance the mid-day sky with the rest of the image. The image was shot using my Canon 5d Mk IV and 24-105mm lens. The camera settings were: ISO 400, 24mm, f/18, and 1/80 second.
Congratulations, Greg!! Look for Greg’s photo in the Daily Courier!
