Conference Center Ceiling

Remember being in the Conference Center for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Broadcast? I got down by the front rostrum and was allowed to take some photos. I processed this with Photomatix with compressor enhanced. A little more tame than normal for me but it came out nice anyway. I shot wide open at f/3.5 at 1/20th of a second and 10mm with the wide angle lense. LYLE

Saving the Library

I didn't really like the original so I went to Photoscape and played with it. I tried several things and liked the Illusion 5 then enhanced the colors with Velvia High in Film Effect then White Vignetting and then put a plum frame on it. I still wasn't happy with it so I went to the Fisheye tool and liked the 20% fisheye. I like the results and decided to share it with you. Bruce

Jefferson Library

I decided this single exposure wasn't as bad as I first thought. The problem with the wires and telephone pole bother me but I thought you might still enjoy the shot. f8 1/250 72mm the only adjustment in photoshop was the sharpening tool. Bruce

My New Lake House

I am getting ready for summer so I built this lake house in Photoscape. I think I could really enjoy this. I shot this 3 shot HDR in Jefferson the gazebo is in a park and a street runs between the house and gazebo. I cropped it in Photoscape and added a reflection. ISO100 f8 28mm Bruce

O.C. Tanner Building

This is a 5 shot HDR of the ceiling in the O.C. Tanner Jewelry store in downtown SLC. I went over to the store during lunch and they graciously allowed me to take a few (80) pictures of their facility. Due to the brilliant white colors there was not much contrast so I had to process it pretty much natural to get it to look good. This was shot with the 10-24 wide angle lens. LYLE

31 Hemified Coupe

This rather gorgeous 31 Model A coupe with a Chrysler Hemi was at a car show I attended today. I didn't have my tripod with me so I had to shoot hand held. I shot it at f8 and captured 5 shots with the 18-105 at 18mm. It was under mixed light with large windows right beside it and high intensity discharge lights above it. I set the D200 on flourscent white balance and then adjusted it in PhotoScape following the tonemapping in modified grunge mode. I used a #2 vignette and colored pencil drawing set at 3. LYLE

The Brides Sash

This is a closeup detail of a (obviously) brides gown. I was on a photo shoot with another photographer so I was just having fun. I cropped it in Photoscape using the round function with a black background then took it into Photoshop to crop it again and expanded it beyond the original oval limit with another black background.
