Tenaya Lake in Yosemite National Park – not quite as beautiful as Crater Lake or as the Cathedral Lakes we were en route to, but still worth a stop along the way. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 10mm, 1/250 sec, f/16, ISO 400 * I updated… Continue reading
Sunset in Yosemite National Park – similar to one I posted long ago, but the a wider angle showing the trees. That said, I’m not completely fond of the look that the foreground trees took on in this HDR rendition, but the HDR was a must really to get the… Continue reading
Wine… barrels and barrels of wine. Taken at Benzinger Winery in Sonoma Valley. I like it mostly for the nice symmetrical pattern, of course, since that’s really the complete content of the picture. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 26mm, 0.6 sec shutter, f/4.0, ISO 1600
The server is misbehaving, so I have to post from my backups. And, since my backups aren’t cataloged I can’t really do edits, and without edits a lot of the Rhine tour pictures are very, very dull thanks to the haze that day. So, instead you will get a few… Continue reading
I was going to concoct some version of “Islands in a Stream” to go with this picture, but I’m tired. The Pfalzgrafenstein Castle situated in the middle of the Rhine. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 20mm, 1/125 sec shutter, f/8.0, ISO 100
According to our tour guide, the oldest hotel in Germany. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 27mm, 1/60 sec shutter, f/8.0, ISO 160
Rothenburg inskirts. This was somewhere on the inside of the wall, though I don’t think it was that close to where I took the picture of the outside of the wall. The wooden structure was a little concerning because at times the stairs were obviously one old 2×10 preventing a 25′ fall… Continue reading
After the last work day of our trip we took a detour to Rothenburg to wander around a bit. This was one of the walls on the edge of town. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL1018 lens @ 10mm, 1/125 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 100
One of the evenings when we weren’t cramming schnitzel into our faces, we went out to Octoberfest to drink large volumes of fair-to-middlin’ beer. In hindsight, this was not a good idea, but it would have been rude to decline our hosts’ invitation. The entire todo around Octoberfest is pretty… Continue reading
What’s interesting about this picture is not the pretty little village, it’s that this was a typical two lane road that we were on every day going to and from the plant. Germany is known for the autobahn, a road engineered to be almost 2x as hefty as normal, but… Continue reading
