“This image was taken at Lake Lemolo in Oregon last June. It was shot just before sunrise. I was attracted to the stillness of the scene and the way the warm tone of the boat stood out against the blues and greens of the background. The technical details: Shot with a Nikon D850 and Sigma 24-105 lens at 48mm. F16 at 1/30th second and ISO 800, tripod mounted.”

This shot was taken in the Monterey area in March of 2016 We came upon this handsome subject sunning on the rocks at the Asilomar State Marine Reserve. I took numerous shots of my patient model and liked this pose the best. With my older Photoshot Elements software I was unable to manage the highlights of the ocean. With the transition to Lightroom editing software I was able to apply a gradient mask to the water area and bring the ocean back into a nice balance with the foreground. The shot was taken using my Canon 5d, Mk III and 70-200mm telephoto lens. My settings were: 200mm, f/2.8, ISO 400, and 1/4000th of a second.
