House in Hope BC. Built in the 1940s, this house has mottled stucco with the raise portions being pink. The current owners don't want to paint the exterior, or ruin the heritage aspect of this home.

A Chevron Gas Station in Eldorado Canyon Ghost Town. Located off Route 165 in Nelson NV. Some late night photography with a mini-maglite under a bright moon. A 3 shot HDR image for more detail in the shadows.
It was a long time since I did any HDR photography. So with this shot, I needed a longer exposure than 30 seconds to get the light painting in because the camera was farther from the subjects. Thus, rather than the traditional exposure blend of 3 various exposures, I did 3 exposures with different parts of the scene light painted. One for the light painting on the ground and pumps. One for the blue lights building, and the last one for the red filter and inside the building.

A candid sepia portrait of Seimon Pugh-Jones dressed as a 1940's photographer whilst sitting on the steps of a mobile museum that he and his family built. He also happens to be a photographer too.
Shot on a Canon 70D with a 50mm lens, I aimed for a 1940's feel for the photo to tie in with the 1940's Photographer look.
Seimon Pugh-Jones also operates a mobile museum, preserving history through immersive experiences. To learn more about the mobile museum, please visit their Crowdfunder page:

At the Severn Valley Railway, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 7th June 2025.
About the photograph.
They are re-enactors dressed up in 1940s kind of clothes, and runs what appears to be a 1940s style shop.
Back in those days, shops were not really self-service, and in order to do the shopping, customers would have to tell the staff what they want.
As you can see, most of the food is found on the shelves behind them, which is why staff often have to fetch what you want, then ring up the costs.
They were chatting with visitors whom are interested in learning what shops of this era was like, and apparently someone must’ve said something funny, hence the shop girls having a laugher, and that was when I caught the monment.
I originally thought about turning it into black and white, but figured for the moment, leave it in colour so you, the viewers, could see what the 1940s packaging colours are like.
Notice the box of KitKat chocolates in the lower left corner of the photo, is in blue coloured wrapper.
That was because of milk shortages during the Second World War, so KitKat switched from milk chocolate to dark chocolate, and thus the packaging switched colours to remind customers of the switch in recipe. The red packaging returned in 1947 as they switched back to milk chocolate recipe.
