From Artprize 2013. This was by no means the most impressive metal sculpture (it was part sculpture, part playground and part pyro-pandering) but I guess dumping large amounts of propane into the air and igniting it is worth something. After all, I did take a picture. I took a video… Continue reading
A general landscape shot from a hike outside Boulder, CO. The picture didn’t turn out quite as I hoped, but I still like it. Picture taken with Canon Rebel 350D, EF-S 17-85mm @ 17mm, 1/500 sec shutter, f/14, ISO 400
Cathedral Peak in Yosemite National Park, looking away from the lake. Oh, and a dead tree in the foreground. It would have been cool to hike around the lake and get a shot of the peak with the lake in the background. It would also have been cool to realize… Continue reading
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
