Washington DC

Well I've spent all kinds of time processing photos I took in DC last week.  If you would like, check out what I've posted on Google+ or Flickr.  I'll post a few here also.  No collection of DC photos would be complete with out a shot of the obelisk called the Washington Monument.  This is a five shot HDR taken mounted on a tripod with lots of traffic moving across the street in the foreground.

Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC

I was in DC this last week and worked my brain all day and my feet all night.  These are two five shot HDR photos taken with in a few minutes of each other as I walked around the tidal basin at sunset.  I finally got brave and carried my tripod on to the plane.  I don't know why I was worried about it, it was no big deal.  I did have to check a bag however as the tripod would make three carry ons.

San Antonio

I went to San Antonio last week for a class.  Class got out early one day so we had a chance to run over and take a few pictures of the Alamo and read the history of the area - pretty fascinating.  We also did the river walk a couple of times.

Pelicans on Henry's

Alright it's been way to long and I hate to admit that I've been a bit busy.  This picture was taken in Island Park on Henry's Fork as we hiked down to Coffee Pot Rapids.  This was shot at 300mm 400iso 180th of a second and f11.  Tweaked just slightly in Lightroom.

Columbia River at Sunset

OK, so I one set pictures on my last trip to Portland.  Here it is a sunset looking out the restaurant window across the Columbia at sunset.  3 shot HDR taken with my camera mounted on my table top tripod.

Spring has sprung

It's been a while since I posted so I decided I had to do something so I went out in the front yard and took a couple of pictures of the flower plumb.  I didn't do any editing to this at all.  I took them with my 50 mm macro lens 1/90 second at f11 ISO 200

Old Idaho State Pen

While visiting Boise this last week end I decided to take a few pictures of the old Idaho State Pen.  Back in the mid 90s my Architecture firm did a structural stabilization of parts of this structure which was put into service in 1872.  I put a bunch of pics up on Google+ if your interested.  This is a 20 shot HDR Pan.
