Wintery Waterfall (step 0)

I just wanted to let you see what the photo looks like as a non High Dynamic Range (HDR) photo, it is considered to be Mid Dynamic Range (MDR).  This one is the middle shot or step 0, it was shot at f/18, 1/30 sec shutter, ISO 1400 and 28 mm with a 18-135 lens.  After being combined and tonemapped it looks like the next one.  That is why I keep going to HDR for my final results.  LYLE

IMC Medical Center

I just thought maybe Linda would enjoy a shot of the new hospital that Pres Obama bragged about a while back.  I have spent way too much time here but it is a beautiful building.  The D200, 10-24 lens, f/8.0, EV 0, ISO 320 and set in aperture mode.  LYLE

I live in a house where the trees keep there leafs longer than they don't the summers are HOT and the winters are mild and yes I was bragging.

I live where little fellows like this live, Bruce

Jack-O-Lanterns in the Raw

I set this shot up in my front yard.  We were going to carve pumpkins so they were laid in the flower bed while we put the other groceries away.  It looked so good I just placed them and grabbed the D40.  LYLE

I was leaving a compressor location today and saw this tree I liked the way the light was hitting it and how it highlighted the crooked trunk. If you notice there is still green leafs on some of the trees behind it, Yesterday was the first day that I had to wear a jacket down here I have been working in short sleaves most of the time and we haven't even had a frost yet.

historical Harrison County courthouse west wing

I  shot this in manual with my 18-70 lens at high noon I changed the white balance to daylight in elements 8 with out any other adjustments. The courthouse has just finished being restored, you will be seeing more photos of this building in the future Bruce

Stagecoach Stained Glass

This is a detail in the Union Pacific Railroad Building. It is a 5 shot HDR and has been 'doctored' a bunch in Elements (sorry) but it brought out the color, mostly I darkened the walls around it to bring it out.  LYLE

Union Pacific Railroad Building

This is a photo of the Union Pacific Railroad building in Salt Lake City. It is no longer used by the railroad but is the entrance to the Gateway Mall. I took about 50 photos but was only able to keep a couple of them. This is a 5 capture HDR.  LYLE

Totem Pole

Judi and I went to visit Kari and Bill in Seattle in May of 2008, while there we took a day and went to Victoria Island, BC and Thunderbird park.  These totem poles sit all through the park.  This one was a funeral pyre for a tribal chief.  The day was overcast so the sky was white but the colors of the totem pole came through nicely.  D40, 18-55, f/5.

reflections

the water was calm and I couldn't resist stopping and setting up my tripod set D80 to shutter priority f4.2 +3 (mistake, I didn't check) 1/4000 sec ISO1600 then minor color adjustments in elements 8

Roasting marshmallows.

Maybe this will help with the shivers. Ann used my camera the other day and said that it smells like a camp fire.  I took this photo on Aug 3 and it still smells.  Oh well.  LYLE

I shot this in Boston with Leighs D70,

Eileen said this is the old homestead the photo isn't that good but the subject is. I used the sony point and shoot I wish I had had my D80 back then I took these when I went to Uncle Marvins funrel.

Bruce

Nebraska farm house

Church built by Dad

Eileen took me by this church in Holdrege I took the photo with a sony 6 meg point and shot. I remember Dad working on this Church, Bruce

Brave Little Tree

Talk about tenacious, this little tree no doubt has a tough row to hoe in the future, but it made a good picture.  It was captured with a D40, f/5.0, focal length 140 (70-300 f/4.2 lens).  LYLE

bridge to nowhere

I shot this to show how high the water is on the Sabine river I am sure you remember this bridge I shot it in jpeg and darkened it using photoshop elements 8 I didn't have 8 when I took the photo or I  would have shot it in raw

JSMB Lobby

This is the lobby of the remodeled Hotel Utah now called the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, an office building belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The detail in the buiding is unbelieveable as you can see.  I used a 10-24 wide angle lens on the D200 set to 5 shots, a +1EV and the shutter at 1 second.  It was taken in aperture priority.  LYLE

Aunu'u Island, American Samoa

This is a view of the little island of Aunu'u, a short distance from American Samoa.  There is a small village on the island of about 120 people.  We went there on one occassion to snorkle.  If you are a football fan this is where Junior Seau grew up.  There is one little bush market on the island where we bought some cookies.  It was operated by a pelagi (off islander) who was a retired military guy.  I don't remember what kind of camera I used but it belonged to the architectural firm I worked for, a little point and shoot that was one of the early digital cameras.  LYLE
