Hangar 1

I will post another shot of this one in color taken from the back, but I liked the way this looks with the 1911 Wright Flyer sitting beside it and a replica of the original Wright Flyer hanging above it. This HDR was tonemapped in B&W and then I bummped up the black just a bit to get better definition. LYLE

Cleared for Flight

This is a 5 capture HDR tonemapped in natural compression. These were real men pioneering the art of flight, can you imagine sitting on something like this and going airborne with it? It is a 1911 Wright Flyer. I took the shots looking between the rear stabilizers. I get the impression that he has been checked out for flight and is getting out of the hangar so he can get underway. I shot this at f/22 with my 18-105. The steps were set at -0.3 EV, one f-stop apart. The setting was in the Aerospace Museum at Hill AFB, Ogden, UT. LYLE

COLD Work

I found this on one of the units I had to work on. This had to form when it was running because the water that formed this drips out tubing connected to the exhaust pipe when it is running. This is a color shot not a B &W f8 1/125sec ISO1600 32mm Bruce
PS I'm ready for it to warm up stuff like this has me running all the time not allowing me time to enjoy my Photography.

Well MY eye....

Do you remember mom using that expression? I always wondered what that might look like-well here it is in a 5 shot HDR taken in my living room. LYLE

Butterflies Learning to Read

These butterflies are part of a mobile in the library, maybe you remember them. I am just hungry for any sign of spring and am grasping at anything that resembles it. This was a single capture. LYLE

BR-R-R-R-R!!!

We had a little bit of cold weather down here. It didn't get above freezing for almost a week and it snowed. The ice cycle on the Azalea bush is from snow melting off of my roof. This is a 5 shot HDR, I cropped it and added a couple filters in photoshop (curves and brightness/contrast) I tried B&W but the ice didn't show up as good. Bruce

Trolley Square Entry Drawing

This is actually an HDR that I did just a few modifications to using PhotoScape. Some of the features in PS are really fun. LYLE
