The Rock

I took several photos of some rock formations while in Albion Basin. I liked the way this one was layered and then perched on the edge of a small wash. I used my grey card to set the white balance, it set it at 5500 Kelvin, I changed it to 5800 K to warm it up just a bit. LYLE

The Assignment

I was assigned to get a photo of a new prototype building that we built. It is a new design that incorporates a complete solar array on the roof. Some of the staff really liked what I did but I am not too sure about the management. I may not get another "assignment" from them-oh well. It is a 5 shot HDR that is tone mapped and heavily massaged in Photomatix and CS4. LYLE

Elevated Night Shot

You were wondering about the photo I took as we talked while I was in Miami. This is it. You can see the elevated train, it is a long streak of light on the bridge. I liked the colors and the autos on the street below. It is an HDR but I don't remember too much about it other than the memory of talking to you and shooting off of the balcony. As I recall I was on the third floor. LYLE

SLC Watertower

I know I showed you this when I was up there but this is one of my favorate photo's of my trip.  Bruce

Just a Little Fall

This waterfall in Albion Basin was an expermental time for me. I was using a black, white and grey card to set the white balance for the first time. It actually came out pretty good. The waterfall itself is quite small, only about 12", but came out nice and looks to be much larger. The colors have not been enhanced at all. I also acquired a Eye-one 2 diagonstics tool to calibrate my monitor. It allows me to send things to a printer and get it right the first time. LYLE

Green Gunk on Block

This series of photos were taken while I was unintentially breaking the law. I was on a right-of way that was posted, but the sign was so small that I didn't see it. I think that this graffiti is truely awful but knew that it would make a compelling photo so I took the chance. 5 shot HDRs taken just after sunset actually came out quite nice. LYLE

Graffiti Mess

I intentially made this look dark and brooding as I think the minds of those that do this kind of defacing of our public rights-of-way probably are. This is a highly modified 5 shot HDR. I only got one chance to get this done before I was escorted off of the property by an official of the Utah Transit Authority as I was tresspassing on federal property. After many apologies he graciously let me go and we parted friends. LYLE

Graffiti Scourge

This is the last one I will show. I am sorry that I made these look acceptable when they are such a cancer on our beautiful city. This is a 5 shot HDR of a concrete block companies facility and the scourge of graffiti along our public transit right-of-way. LYLE

Library Fireplace SLC

The designer of this fireplace with 3 fire boxes stacked one on top of the other has quite an imagination so I bet he would like my interpretation of it.

SHHH....Its a Cecret

This is an HDR of Cecret Lake at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon. It took about all of me to get there, very steep switchback trail that is only a mile hike but rises a bunch all at the end of the trail. I even carried all of my gear up there just to be able to take only 2 HDR photos when the battery died and no backup. Oh well, I will just have to go back one day. LYLE

Oh, couple a bucks maybe

I wasn't sure if they wern't discussing thier next move to get away from this crazy photographer. As we were leaving the Cecret Lake trail head these two guys were in a meadow just off the road. I used the car as a 'blind' so they wouldn't get too nervous about me and also used it for a tripod to steady my camera as I was zoomed way in to get the shot I wanted. Aperture priority, f/5.6, ISO 110, zoom 250mm and shutter 1/30 sec. LYLE

Lunch with a Moose

This Bull Moose was eating lunch along the trail to Cecret Lake (that is pronounced 'Secret'). I was about 30' from him, too close for comfort but I took about 50 shots of him, this one I liked the best. I shot it with my 70-300 lens at 100mm, f/5, ISO 140 and shutter 1/30. LYLE

Stairwell SLC Library

I know everyone around the library thought I was crazy laying on my back in front of the library, but this shot was worth it.  I tried this shot with lighter shadows showing the stairs and in B&W but I like it this way.  AP 1/160  f18  28mm.   Bruce

Winging It

I shot this through the window on my way to SLC. I couldn't get the colors right so I went B&W. I really like te way It turned out it reminds me of the old war movies. Iso 200 1/500  f20  AP  added vignette in Photoshop 4.  Bruce 

Rotated Pier

This is a rather funky panorama of the dock that was on the property that Damon was leasing while in Wilmington. I rotated the camera with each shot, then straightened each photo to level the dock. I used Seref Panorama to stitch them together. I wanted to see if I could do it so when I am taking a panorama of a cityscape I could highlight the tall buildings. LYLE

Waterfall on the Firehole

This is a single capture of a waterfall on the Firehole River in Yellowstone. I had to adjust the color due to the fact that I had been messing with the white balance on my camera and didn't pay attention to what I was doing as I continued taking photos. I opened it in Photoshop and reset the levels and then with the eye dropper set the black and white points. LYLE

Scarecrow

I shot this in Heritage Park I tried a 3 exposure HDR but it came out fuzybecause I shot freehand and the shots didn't line up right. I kind of like this shot. This shot looks like it could really be what life was like back in the day. Bruce

waterfall above SLC

Judi and Linda watched as I shot this and thought I was going to end up in the water. I did an eight shot HDR of this but didn't like the looks of the water. Bruce
