[singlepic id=1240 w=480 float=left] Older picture from Busch Gardens in Florida from back in the day of the C-2040z.  I probably have a dozen pictures of these guys that turned out quite good given the megapixel limitations of the camera being used.  Granted, they’re of birds that naturally look very… Continue reading

Hancock Building

[singlepic id=1239 w=480 float=left] The Hancock Building in Chicago, good only for it’s interesting perspective.  Taken with my favorite camera to gripe about, the SX130.  I can’t complain too much, as this was taken in the dark, handheld. Picture taken with Canon SX130 IS, lens at 5mm (36mm equiv), f/3.4,… Continue reading

Bryce Canyon

[singlepic id=1238 h=480 float=left] Another from Bryce – this was another that wasn’t really thought out, but I like how it turned out.  This was on the Queen’s Garden hike.  It was actually surprisingly dark at the bottom of the canyon as evidence by the ISO 400 need just to… Continue reading

Bryce Canyon Hoodoos

[singlepic id=1237 w=480 float=left] This picture is from the day at Bryce Canyon in Utah.  As mentioned when I posted the bulk of the pictures before, this was mostly a midday visit and getting good pictures was difficult.  On one hand, the contrast was very high due to the bright… Continue reading

Willis Canyon

[singlepic id=1236 h=480 float=left] Second shot from in Willis Canyon, taken about 5 hours later and showing off the fun subjective portion of photography.  It’s the same place as the previous picture, and the color balance of both looks “right” to me.  This one was taken late in the evening,… Continue reading

Willis Canyon

[singlepic id=1235 w=480 float=left] I was all excited to post a few more pictures of the slot canyons in Grand Staircase Escalante, but as it turns out, I have already posted what I thought were the best shots back here.  None the less here’s one more… this is Willis Canyon. … Continue reading

Navajo Arch

[singlepic id=1233 w=480 float=left] Back to Arches, because I was told that this should be today’s picture.  This is from inside Navajo Arch.  We were there just after rain, so there was a small pond going on.  I was able to get past the water, thanks in part to waterproof… Continue reading

Bull Valley Gorge

[singlepic id=1232 h=480 float=left] I skipped over a chunk of the Zion Narrows and Grand Canyon pictures because, though they were very cool places to hike, we were not there at a time of day that really made good photos.  This one is from Bull Valley Gorge, a small slot… Continue reading

Arches Primitive Trail 2

[singlepic id=1231 w=480 float=left] 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.
