The Dancer

After looking at this one I decided I like the first one better but I am still amazed that I kept Sydney recognizable. I must have tracked her with my camera because the people sitting are blurred from camera motion. Photoshop settings are Fluorescent, Vivit, with an 85 warming filter and cropped the camera settings were sports 1/15 sec f5.6 ISO1600 135mm Bruce

2nd Look at Water Tower

Here is another view of the water tower at Trolley Square. Maybe you will like this one better than the last photo I posted. Not that you were not right on your comments, just want to keep you happy. This is a 5 shot HDR that I hand held by leaning on the leg of the tower. The sky was so boring due to the total cloud cover, it was even raining some and I had to keep dodging the drops falling off of the tower, that I took the saturation down just to get some interest back.

Bikes

This is a shot of the bikes that Judi and I dated on prior to our marriage, we still have them and even try to ride them once in a while. I shot this to duplicate one that I took back in the day when they were new. LYLE

Sitting on the Dock of a Bay

This seagull was sitting on this lamppost just waiting for somebody to drop something on the sidewalk at Disney World when I spotted him. With a bit of a crop and trying to overcome the shadow it came out okay. LYLE

Water Tower

This water tower is on the Trolley Square Property. I got chased off by a security guard that felt a need to flex his muscle a bit, something about needing a permit to take photos on his property. I reminded him that no permission is needed to shoot from public access areas but he was a bit testy so I didn't push him. We had already shot over 100 photos before he saw us. Oh well. This is a 5 shot hand held photo processed in Photomatix 4.0. I really like the way Photomatix is able to align the elements of a handheld shot like this. The new B&W feature is also good. LYLE

Dancing Butterflies

I had to show one image out of my collection of butterflies. The butterfly you see in color is not my granddaughter she is the one to the left. I used photoscape to bring this in under the rules. I tried to crop her out but it took too much away from the photo. I didn't write down the steps in Photoscape the exposure was ISO1600 f8 1/125sec changed white balance to flourescent in Photoshop.

Hangar 1

I will post another shot of this one in color taken from the back, but I liked the way this looks with the 1911 Wright Flyer sitting beside it and a replica of the original Wright Flyer hanging above it. This HDR was tonemapped in B&W and then I bummped up the black just a bit to get better definition. LYLE

Cleared for Flight

This is a 5 capture HDR tonemapped in natural compression. These were real men pioneering the art of flight, can you imagine sitting on something like this and going airborne with it? It is a 1911 Wright Flyer. I took the shots looking between the rear stabilizers. I get the impression that he has been checked out for flight and is getting out of the hangar so he can get underway. I shot this at f/22 with my 18-105. The steps were set at -0.3 EV, one f-stop apart. The setting was in the Aerospace Museum at Hill AFB, Ogden, UT. LYLE

COLD Work

I found this on one of the units I had to work on. This had to form when it was running because the water that formed this drips out tubing connected to the exhaust pipe when it is running. This is a color shot not a B &W f8 1/125sec ISO1600 32mm Bruce
PS I'm ready for it to warm up stuff like this has me running all the time not allowing me time to enjoy my Photography.

Well MY eye....

Do you remember mom using that expression? I always wondered what that might look like-well here it is in a 5 shot HDR taken in my living room. LYLE

Butterflies Learning to Read

These butterflies are part of a mobile in the library, maybe you remember them. I am just hungry for any sign of spring and am grasping at anything that resembles it. This was a single capture. LYLE

BR-R-R-R-R!!!

We had a little bit of cold weather down here. It didn't get above freezing for almost a week and it snowed. The ice cycle on the Azalea bush is from snow melting off of my roof. This is a 5 shot HDR, I cropped it and added a couple filters in photoshop (curves and brightness/contrast) I tried B&W but the ice didn't show up as good. Bruce

Trolley Square Entry Drawing

This is actually an HDR that I did just a few modifications to using PhotoScape. Some of the features in PS are really fun. LYLE
