Vintage Planes in Prescott 7 June 2020

Canon graciously sponsored a shoot with vintage airplanes and models with Explorer of Light Bruce Dorn.   A few years ago, I took a class with Bruce photographing models in Oak Creek Canyon.  He has a cinematography background from Hollywood and is a treat to work with.

We had a few hours to capture images of vintage World War Two planes with models!

I captured images with a Canon EOS R and Tamron 15-30mm wide angle.   Post processing with Lightroom and Luminar 4 (quickly becoming my go-to Lightroom plugin!).   

I bought the Tamron wide angle based on reviews and how nice it would work with astrophotography and real estate.   But look how well it worked photographing planes!

Until My Next Adventure,

See you on down the road,

Christmas Time at the Desert Botanical Garden

The Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden always puts on a light show at night around Christmas.   I love going because it usually isn't too cold AND my Canon EOS R can take really nice photos in low light.  My lens was the new Canon RF 24-240mm.   

In addition to lights on trees and luminarias along the walking paths, there were bell players and musicians to entertain.

Here's a slideshow of all of my photos.... ENJOY!
