Beaver Hut at Caddo Lake

I went out today to Caddo Lake to try and geet some Photographs and I did more driving than shootihg, everywhere I went was private property. I settled for a bridge in Louisiana on highway LA2  here are some of my birthday fun. I forgot to check the ISO setting so I shot at ISO 1000  using my 18-70mm lens.   31mm at f4.5 3 shot HDR   Bruce

UNINVITED Guest

 This is a very Poor picture! I was a little nervous when I took it. This little fellow can pack quite a punch! I had just unlocked the door and went into the house, I had forgotten my wallet. I grabbed my wallet and walked. out the door and closed it when I turned to lock it I spotted the copperhead, luck was on my side it didn't strike! I grabbed my camera and shovel took a couple of shots but didn't think about using flash. I had my short lens on it and wasn't very far from it when I took the picture. I then got rid of it.    Iso 1000    .3 Sec    f4.5 handheld with shovel in hand also. Bruce

Idaho Barn

We were on our way to Spokane, WA to see Damon and Jessica when we came around a curve in the road and I decided to see just what that Nikon D3s would do so I quickly pulled off the road and took this HDR set. I had to clone stamp out some birds that were showing up 5 times in a row and a shadow that attracted too much attention. I am going to frame this one. LYLE

Golden Hue

This is actually a single shot from my Cannon D10 waterproof camera. It is the side of my kayak as Judi and I were underway at Pine View Res. above Ogden, UT. It looks like there was about 5 feet of visability. LYLE

The Golden Leaf

 I didn't see the the leaf until I started to work on it in Photoshop. I just liked the shape of the rocks but I think the Golden leaf adds an interesting touch. Bruce

Twisted

 I shot this in Jeff's backyard when we were there. It is a 3shot HDR in Photoshop, I turned it B&W and added a color mask to it. Bruce

City Creek High Rise

With my 10-24 wide angle lens I shot this HDR just for fun. Not a particularly wonderful photo but I enjoyed taking it. I had to put my tripod out horizontal to get the angle I liked. There were some construction workers watching, I am not sure what they thought but I really didn't care, I was enjoying myself. LYLE

Assembly Building

I was out wondering around at noon today and just happened to have my camera in tow and saw this photo opportunity. It is the Assembly Building on Temple Square as seen from City Creek Rising. It is a 5 shot HDR processed in grunge mode with a few modifications like a bit of black to get the sky to jump just a bit and warmed it up with the color temperture then in Photoshop I messed with the levels a bit.

A Bright Night

This was shot from Damon's deck in Liberty Lake, WA. It was about 11:30 at night when I shot this HDR. If you can take a look at the camera I used, we will need to discuss it. LYLE

Swimming Hole View

I have been looking at this while swimming at the life center thinking that would make a good photograph. I tried HDR but the leafs just didn't lood good so I cropped it to what I visualized and adjusted the exposure and color. Bruce
