Welcome to Bend Photography!

Hello, I'm John Melton . . .

If you've visited here before, you'll notice that I've completely changed the layout and removed dozens of pictures from this page. I did this to allow for a more streamlined access for people wishing to purchase my pictures in a finished, 'ready-to-display' format. Now, through Fine Art America, you'll have a much wider choice of options for framing, matting and prints on canvas that I've previously been unable to offer before.

Composite Imagery

How is a "composite image" created?
Using Photoshop, I first separate the object image from the background. This is the time-consuming part! There just isn't a software program made that does this very well. Next, I create a new background to "place" the subject object on. On average, most of the images I create take a minimum of 4-5 hours. Added to the time it takes are the additional costs of printing and mounting, and you can see this is more a labor of love for me rather than a money maker - but I love photographing automobiles (especially street rods and sports cars) and giving you a memorable souvenir of your cherished automobile.

____________________________.... DRAKE PARK .... _____________________________

Thousands of people visit Bend's Drake Park every year. Considered to be the city's "crown jewel", Drake Park is the most popular place for tourists and locals alike. The entire Park fronts the Deschutes River (called Mirror Pond) and is adjacent to downtown shops. It is home to hundreds of native birds, squirrels, Canadian geese, and a few Mute and Trumpeter swans. Occasionally deer can be seen here, and in the winter it's a frequent visiting spot for a huge bald eagle.

Scheduled events in Drake Park are many and diverse, yet it also offers a place of solitude that many never experience or even know it exists. Here is an early morning shot I've titled 'Tranquil Path' of the brick pathway which winds along the peaceful river through majestic ponderosa pine and deciduous hardwoods.

Order a 20" x 30" print of "Tranquil Path" print for only $55

Featured Photograph
 "A View From The Top"

HUGE 12" x 36" Full-Color Print

Incredible 12 image, 360 Degree Panorama from the top Paulina Peak. Just one hour SE of Bend,
Paulina Peak is Oregon's youngest volcano. From here you can see 4 States, 2 lakes,
The Cascades, and a huge obsidian lava flow. On a really clear day,
I'm told you can see Mt Shasta in California.

SALE PRICE - $35.00
(Shipping $12 extra)

 

Incredible (6 ft) panorama shots of Benham Falls, Todd Lake, The Three Sisters, and most recently,
a spectacular pano taken on top of Tumalo Mountain. They are all too big to put on this website or print
on normal print paper. I also have some huge panoramas of Bend - taken from the top of Pilot Butte.

Call (541) 350-6500 for prices.
