Cathedral of the Madeleine


This is an interior 5 shot HDR of the Catholic Church's Cathedral here in SLC. It is very difficult to photograph due to the dark colors and low lighting level. Even using HDR it is hard to get it right.  LYLE

Ice Fishing at Rockport


I wanted something to describe what we do here in Utah that you would not do in Texas so here it is: Ice Fishing. It was 17d f. They were a wonderful group of people and even demonstrated how to drill a hole in the ice. They had about a dozen 12-14" trout. I don't want to put those here but will e-mail them if you want to see them. I also told them to look here for pictures. If Mandy will e-mail me at shenemanboys@gmail.com I will send them to her also.  LYLE

View from Duck Pond Lane


This is the view I get from the end of Duck Pond Ln as I leave my home. It is why I enjoy living in UT. A 5 image HDR, aperture priority f9, ISO 400, 112mm with the 70-300 lens. I made no adjustments other than to tonemap following the HDR merge. Mount Olympus is on the left, it is a twin peak mountain. It was 5pm just as the sun set on Dec 23. Merry Christmas.  LYLE

Cold Duck


I have not ventured into the realm of wildlife photography so I thought I might give it a try. This is on the Jordan River Trail not far from our home. I had to wait for a long time standing in the snow with only sandals and no socks for the duck to get where I wanted it but it seemed worth it. Had to set the 70-300 lens on manual to get it to focus where I wanted it to.  LYLE

SLC Temple on a snowy morning


I just couldn't help myself this morning as I was coming in to work. Like the next one the sky is a little boring but the rest of it overcomes it. A 5 shot HDR, I did bump up the colors just a bit.  LYLE
