“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!
Rudy says about his image: The lynx photo was shot at a cat preserve using a 200mm lens. I used focus stacking to get a sharp image through-out. It was late in the day and there was still a little light that came in on the cat.
Larry says of his image: At 14 degrees outside it was a good time to play with some steel wool spinning. Black ice made it hard to stand. We put down some sand from outside of this underpass to help the Spinner. Shooting this in a confined concrete space is safest as the burning steel wool ejects larger pieces from time to time and could become a fire hazard for hair and the surrounding areas. Don’t do this unless you know what you’re doing and have a safe place to do so.
Larry says of his image: A composite of two images. The Model, Sara McDonald, and I shot set of fruit inspired images over 5 hours. Changing outfits every hour. This image with the orange theme fit well with my black and white image from dawn at Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley.
