“Lantermans Mill” by Patty Booth
This photo was taken in Youngstown, Ohio. I arrived at sunrise and the lighting was difficult but I concentrated on getting the highlights knowing I could open up the shadows in lightroom . Nikon is known for its amazing dynamic range and my Nikon D600 did not disappoint me. I used a 24-70mm lens at 24mm, 0.6 sec. F22, ISO 80, 10/26/15 at 7:35AM

“Curious Coyote” by Jim Heern
The coyote appears often in the tales and traditions of Native Americans—usually as a very savvy and clever beast. Modern coyotes have displayed their cleverness by adapting to the changing American landscape. These members of the dog family once lived primarily in open prairies and deserts, but now roam the continent’s forests and mountains. They have even colonized cities like Los Angeles, and are now found over most of North America. Coyote populations are likely at an all-time high. This was taken in Idaho, while visiting my son Zack, his wife, Mona and my grandchildren, Liya and Jamal. The settings were as follows 1/100 second @ f 45 ISO 125.
