Bro Sis Fun

Yes, I know, broke the rules...but I just wanted you to see where we were. This was taken on Sep. 20, 2013. They called to wish me a happy birthday and told me they were going to Yellowstone, I said well in that case so am I. We spent two days together. Really had fun. Jump on an airplane, Bruce, it is only 5 hours from my front door. LYLE

Duck Calls

These duck calls were on display at our annual hunter safety expo put on by the hospital Linda works at. Linda was working the registration table so I grabbed my camera and shot a few frames. I didn't carry my tripod so I didn't get enough good shots of any one subject to do an HDR.  1/40 f22 400 ISO 58mm

Aspen under the Stars

I shot this last night while on a campout. We were all in a pavilion that was lit up with a bunch of fluorescent lights. I stepped out and shot the trees and sky for 30 sec. at ISO 200 and f/4. The trees were nicely lit by the lights of the pavilion while the stars show up due to the exposure. I have done nothing to this photo other than to sharpen it up a bit in camera raw with Adobe Bridge. Can you tell what direction I am looking by the stars? LYLE

plant life on the rocks

I went back to my photos from our family reunion and added a gradient layer to darken the edges like a vignette. I am playing with my new Photoshop  program.

Hold On

Judi and I went to see Ann and family in Twin Falls. While there we went to a rodeo, I had been wanting to shoot some photos of that type of action. Some of the issues that need to be overcome are shooting in a very dark arena, lots of movement, long distance, no tripod and so on. Things happen very fast so I just had to point and hold down the shutter release and hope I captured something. This whole image makes me remember how fast things were happening. LYLE
