If you've visited here before, you'll notice that I've completely changed the layout and removed about 45 pictures from this page. I did this to allow for a more streamlined access for people wishing to purchase my pictures. Now, through Fine Art America, you'll have a much wider choice of options for framing, matting and prints on canvas that I never been able to offer here before.

John Melton's Composite Imagery

Let me memorialize your "Dream Car" today!

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 making the ordinary look extraordinary!

Special Price - only $125

Price includes 12" x 18" mounted photo & CD
(If you see your car's picture on this website and want to purchase it - call me for a special price.)

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

Tranquil Path . . . 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 deciduos hardwoods.

In an effort to help give back to my community, I am pleased to donate my time as a volunteer Photographer for the UNITED WAY.

"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 (6-7 Ft) panoramic 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 panoramics of Bend - taken from the top of Pilot Butte.
