Swimming Tree

This tree stands in the waters of Jordanelle Res above Salt Lake. Judi and I were kayaking when I asked if we could go back and capture a shot of it. I was using my Cannon D10 on full auto. I thought the tree looked a bit like it was trying to adjust it's swim mask before going in. LYLE

River Rock

Here is another so so photo of rocks in a river in Colorado. Bruce

The Mantle Clock

This is at the Stanley Hotel. Manual, ISO 1000. f20 50mm,  HDR  Bruce

The Cliff

I started with this today I worked on it along time and decided to try B&W and liked it. This is in the narrows a 3 exposure HDR   ISO 250,  f22  Bruce    

The Narrows

This is one of the shots I made when we stopped by ourselves. It has taken me along time to get in the mood to work on these shots. This is a 3 exposure HDR, 18-70 lens at 18mm I had the camera in auto (I was in a hurry and nervous on the side of the road) ISO 250, f22.  Bruce

Gold ?

I had no choice after Steve found the pebble of gold I had to top him so I found a boulder with a vein of gold in it. This is a 2 shot HDR I had to work hard on it to get the colors as I remembered. Bruce

The Trestle

This trestle is on the Hiawatha Trail outside of Wallace, MT. As I mentioned in an earlier post we bicycled the 17 mile trail and had a great time. Did hurt my nates a bit (look that one up in your Funk and Waggonalls). I shot it at 1/160 sec, 35 mm, ISO 200 while leaning out over the cable rail and stretching out to get the angle I wanted, then in Photomatix I tonemapped it as a single shot. LYLE

A Sad Sight

 Yes, a sad sight! For those that don't know this is all that was left of a small hydro-electric powerplant that was washed away in the flood of 1976 on the Big Thompson River. There was a park here, our family had a lot of picnics here and a lot of fun The park has been rebuilt but it isn't the same.  f20  1/100 sec  ISO 1000  AP   Bruce      

The Big Thompson River

 I have finally sat down and worked 0n my Colorado photos. I did a 5 exposure HDR but I didn't like the trees. I like This shot about as well as any I shot up there. I was editing a person out and saw a face in the boulder l'm calling it the Ghost of The Big Thompson. It is located in the photo on the left side follow the edge of the tree from the top to the edge of the river.  Bruce

Tunnel of Golden Light

This was shot on the Hiawatha Trail in Montana while we were visiting Damon and Jessica. We actually rode the trail on bikes, lots of fun but hard on the rear. This is part of our family on bikes. LYLE

Red Pigeon

Here is another shot of that pigeon in the Columbine Gallery. I messed with it a bit in Photoshop to get the highlights toned down just a bit but for that I didn't do anything to it. (I did take out some bright spots in the background though). I don't remember what flashlight I used but it worked well. I shot it at 8 sec, ISO 800, f/18, 50mm. LYLE

Above Silver Lake

Judi, Monica and I went for a hike around Silver Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon. While there I only shot three photos, this is one of them. You will remember that we went there while you were here for the reunion. LYLE
