This photo captures a koi pond at R.F. Orchids in Homestead, Florida. I used a Fujifilm X-H2S camera with a Lensbaby Composer Pro and Sweet 35 lens, along with an ND64 filter (6 stops). The settings were f/5.6, ISO 160, and a 3-second shutter speed.

The Sweet 35 lens creates a sharp focal "sweet spot" in the center, with strong blurring toward the edges, adding a dreamy, artistic effect. I completed the post-processing in ON1 Photo RAW 2025 and Nik Efex Pro to enhance the colors and textures.

This photograph was taken on September 2023 at Multnomah Falls in the Pacific Northwest at the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. This is one of the top places in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area to study the geology exposed by floods. Six volcanic flows of Grande Ronde Basalt are visible in the fall’s cliff face, representing more than 400.000 years of geological history.

Taken at a light show.

This photograph was taken on September 2023 at Wahkeena Falls on the Historic Columbia River Highway. This little strand of water called my attention while I was walking to get a good view of the Wahkeena Falls. I stayed around for a little while taking different images with different exposure times and this one was my favorite
