Lemming Trees

When I viewed this photo I thought it looked like the trees had all lined up and marched into the lake like a bunch of Lemmings. LYLE

Floral Arrangement

While using some professional studio lighting I shot this floral arrangement. I used another light behind the backdrop to highlight the center of the shot. I also have one from the other side to make a pair. LYLE

Ghana Threads

A friend of mine borrowed some studio lights and invited me to shot with them. We sure had some fun. This is a photo of some thread used to make fabric by a tribe in Africa. He had been there so he had several things like that. This was so fun I came home and made myself a soft box so I can shoot here. LYLE

Goblin Valley

Goblin Valley was also an interesting place. The wind was so fierce I had a hard time keeping my camera still with the 300mm lens all the way out. I liked the image of what appears to be a foreign planet rising from amongst the goblins. LYLE

Tabernacle Organ

I was allowed to be on the rostrum of the Tabernacle on Temple Square the other day. The console to the organ was sitting with its back to the pipes so I was able to get a rather unusual shot of the whole thing. I also shot a bunch of close-ups of the pipes. LYLE

Beached Log

This log was laying on a beach just around the corner from the other shot of a fallen tree. I loved the colors of the sandstone walls and the water in this shot. LYLE

Fallen Tree at Powell

They dropped me off on a beach for a little bit so I could take some photos with different foregrounds. I found this fallen tree to be interesting so I included it in a photo. No HDR on this one, just shot in RAW and then brightened it up a bit. LYLE

Yucca in Bloom

The Yucca's were in bloom at Lake Powell so I shot one of them. As you can see I did a bunch to this photo to get it to look like this. I really enjoy having fun with the photo editing portion of photography. LYLE
