Care for a Cold One?

This is the same waterfall, just pulled back a bit to shoot it. I haven't messed with it much but to put the vignette on just to make it look a bit colder, not that it needed to look any colder than it was. LYLE

Icy Falls

Went up on the trail to Lake Blanch where we went when you were here, things are a bit different this time of the year. I shot this at 1/6 sec, ISO 400, f25, 300 mm in shutter priority. It took several tries to get the water smoothed out and not over expose the shot. Sure got my toes cold doing it. LYLE

Memories like you never had them

These are shots that I know you took when you were here. The first one is the falls on the trail to Lake Blanch. The next one is on the bridge where you shot a photo at the road that turns into the parking lot at Lake Blanch. The last one is from under the tree at Silver Lake at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. LYLE

I hope you enjoy these photos. I had a ball taking them mostly because I was thinking about you and Linda. Enjoy. LYLE

Fall for a Panorama

Wow, I can't believe another set of single shots! No HDR in this one. The next few shots were made as Judi and I were on the trail to Lake Blanch along with Libby and Sam, Brads family. I took 4 photos but didn't like the results with the fourth one attached so I only used three of the shots. I hand held them even though I had my tripod with me. This was on the way out and I was too tired to set up the tripod again. I did have to clone stamp out some black corners and enhanced the colors just a bit in CS4 to get it the way I remembered seeing it. LYLE

Aspen in Fall

I cropped this single shot just to get the leaves where I wanted them in the photo. Other than that I did not make any adjustments to this photo. I really liked the way the sun was highlighting these leaves much like the ones in the next photo also.  LYLE

Proof: Fall is Here

This beautiful little bouquet was just begging me to take its picture, so I obliged it. A single capture with no adjustments of any kind, what you see is what I shot. I opened up the aperture so I could control the depth of field and center weighted it to focus on the colored leaves without a lot of distraction from the background. LYLE

Color on the Trail

This 5 capture HDR along the trail to Lake Blanch was really showing off all of its glory. What a nice day it was, 90 F in the valley and nice and cool on the trail. These colors don't last long so I was happy to get them. LYLE

Tree of Flame

I think you have seen this bridge previously only it was from below. I really liked the tree in all of its blazing glory behind the bench. This series had several single shot captures that I do ever so rarely.  LYLE

A View of the Trail

This is another look at the trail to Lake Blanch. It is deceptively steep even if it doesn't look like it in this photo. Your heart will know you are in the mountains for at least two reasons: it is very beautiful and it is steep. Another HDR by LYLE
