Amy by Julie Padgett

My image of Amy has a fun back story. She contacted me via Instagram in June 2020 wanting to collaborate on a photoshoot. She is a model and photographer who travelled here from Colorado and set up photoshoot plans while visiting here. We photographed the begining of July locally, in the Redwoods, and at the Coast. It was a fun collaboration with great energy. The following is my data for this image: Nikon Z6, lens 70 to 200, 1/250 sec at f2.8, 140 mm, ISO 500.

Can You Read My Mind by Rudy Dierks

This image was taken last June at a friends cat sanctuary. It was shot at a distance of about 20 ft. with a 24/70mm lens at f8 -1/320. I shot about 30 images to get this handsome beast at his best.
