GFX 100 Test Shoot

Portland, Oregon

A test shoot at Pro Photo Supply, Portland, Oregon.

A young woman leaps joyfully into the air on a wide, flat sandy beach, her curly dark hair flying across her face. She wears a white tank top and shorts, arms outstretched and legs bent mid-jump, laughing as she soars above the sand. The bright, overcast sky and pale beach stretch to the horizon behind her. — ISO 200 · 21mm · f/2.8 · 1/250

Jumping at the Beach

Wheeler, Oregon

Jumping for joy on the beach in Manzanita, Oregon.

A collection of aging and worn vehicles, including two Volkswagen Vanagons, a rusted VW Beetle, and a red van with a roof rack, are parked on a grassy lot in Portland's Alberta Arts District. Behind them, a large weathered building displays a partial mural reading "Keep...Up," part of the "Keep Your Chin Up" street art piece, featuring painted feathers and organic forms in black, white, and blue. Residential homes, utility poles, and a soft purple-hued evening sky are visible in the background. — ISO 640 · 49mm · f/13 · 1/125
