Multnomah Falls, Oregon part II

Here's the shot that every one that goes to Multmonah Falls takes.  This one with a bit of an HDR spin on it.

Multnomah Falls, Oregon

I went to Portland Oregon for Christmas and didn't get a lot of time to photo safari, but we made one trip to Multnomah Falls.  This is a 15 shot vertical HDR Panorama.  I've only had time to process three of the shots from that day I think this is my favorite so far.

Mesa Falls on Henry's Fork

We just got back from the cabin where I shot something like 600+ photos.  I'll share a couple of my favorites here.  I've been processing for hours now and I think this is my favorite so far.  This is Mesa Falls (I've posted it before).  It's an HDR panorama (my first HDR pan of the falls) 15 total exposures. 3 frames x 5 exposures.  18 mm, f22 ISO 100 slow enough shutter speeds so that the water starts to turn silky.

Shoshone Falls 3

Here's the last of the Shoshone Falls panoramas.  I way over did the HDR (on purpose of course).  The panorama is made up of only 20 pictures (4 pan frames x 5 exposures each) and is only 277 Mb.  I think it's the best of the three panoramas of the falls.  By the way the little building on the left at the bottom of the falls is the power plant.

Shoshone Falls

When I was shooting Shoshone Falls I took three panoramas from three different places.  I finally got around to doing number two.  This one is a bit more painterly or more heavily processed.

Shoshone Falls

One of my favorite places is Shoshone Falls on the Snake River near Twin Falls, Idaho.  On our way home from Boise last week end we stopped.  This time of year the water is roaring over the falls.  This picture is made up of 50 pictures.  I HDRed together 10 pan shots, each HDR is made up of 5 shots.  I took the houses and etc in the background out of the picture.   I don't know why anyone would let people build houses on the precipice of the falls, but I guess it's a free country.  As a side bar my computer has nine gigabytes of RAM.  I used 7.5 while processing the stitching in Photoshop.  The picture is a 325Mb tiff.  I've reduced it to a 145Kb jpg for your viewing pleasure.

Yellowstone - Mystic Falls

Mystic Falls is a beautiful little falls an easy hike from Black Sand Basin.  It had been years since I was there.  A year ago my family and I visited again.  Great stuff.  If I remember correctly the last time we hiked in there my oldest son was in a stroller.  This is a one shot HDR hand held. 

My profile picture found on this page was taken while I was taking this picture.

Upper Mesa Falls

Upper Mesa Falls is one of my family's places to stop when we are at the cabin there's also a Lower Mesa Falls, maybe one of these days I'll share that one as well.  This one was taken at 18mm, f9.5 1/60 ISO 100.  I don't remember if I had a polarizing filter on.
