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’m paranoid when it comes to this kind of activity – I don’t like the idea of falling through the ice into 32 degree water. Not that it wouldn’t have been cool to go tromp around on the icebergs, but when I can see the melt spots, I’m staying off… Continue reading
Conforming to the guidance mentioned in yesterday’s post, this shot doesn’t have the sun included. I’ve replaced it with a lighthouse instead. Still a series of 5 shots because I wanted the light to be more than a silhouette. Pictures taken with Sony a6000, E PZ 16-50mm lens @ 16mm,… Continue reading
What might be a better rendering on the sunset in Grand Haven this weekend. Newer version first, yesterday’s daily-photo version second. Both created the same way, but the newer one had a brighter exposure available to integrate into the mix, and I added a graduated neutral density filter digitally to… Continue reading
The general wisdom, I think, I that sunset pictures don’t actually include the sun. I’m still learning this Sony camera thing, but as far as I can tell it will only do bracketed shots 5 x .7EV apart, which means a max of plus or minus 1.4EV. I’m spoiled because… Continue reading
