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

Post processed in LR and On1 Effects using a small amount of detail extractor, and glamour glow. The faces were lightened and clarity added for effect.
