Like the picture from Wednesday, there’s nothing specifically important about this picture, it’s the 180 view from the location of the picture from Wednesday. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm @ 24mm, f/8.0, various shutter, ISO 100.
A shot out past the horn on one of the fins with some people on top for scale. I don’t remember the geological details, but these fins come into existence when the softer rock erodes from between them and then arches come into existence when there happens to be softer… Continue reading
There’s nothing specifically important about this picture. It was taken at the end of a hike as we were coming off the “primitive trail” out of the fins in Arches National Park. It’s a pretty obvious HDR shot, but in this case I think that’s OK, or at least OK… Continue reading
Happy St. Patrick’s day… here’s a picture that has absolutely nothing to do with that. I posted a very similar picture previously, but this truly is a different shot. Taken at the very tail end of sunset when only the distant mountains were catching the pink light. Moments before you… Continue reading
The view out from under Double Arch in Arches National Park. I strongly suspect this was after the nasty weather blew over. Picture taken with Panasonic TS-4, lens @ 4.9mm (28mm eq.), f/3.3, 1/320 sec, ISO 160
I’ve posted a couple shots that were very similar to this one before, specifically back here. This one is a more naturally processed single exposure as opposed to the composite of seven exposures previously. The previous version is HDRed to excess, and while fun to make and maybe fun to… Continue reading
I don’t remember which arch this is, but it was one of few that had a good foreground subject in it. It’d be nice if the branches of the tree were standing out a bit more, but oh well. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 10mm, f/8.0,… Continue reading
I thought I had posted a night picture of this building before, but my quick searching says maybe not. Maybe I tagged it for later use. Anyway, this is the Frost Bank Building, which I was assured is the coolest building in all of Austin. Picture taken with Canon Rebel… Continue reading
From the Steve & Matt tour Austin trip – the UT scrimmage was going on that day and they had their mascot Bevo on display. That is one huge, but docile bull steer. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XTi, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 47mm, f/16, 1/400 sec shutter, ISO 200
This is a fine example of a time where I should have just left the camera in the car. Steve and I went to a Nascar race near Austin. I wanted to try to get some pictures, and try I did, but from the stands there was simply no way… Continue reading
