Social Hall Basement

This was shot in the basement of the old Social Hall in SLC. All that remains of the building is the foundation that you get a view of beside the escalators, it was a stone rubble foundation and contained a cooking area at the back. Very fascinating and quite picturesque. LYLE

Up the Orange Staircase

I was out wondering around at noon and took this underground passageway from the City Creek Rising project, under State Street, to go to my bank. This caught my attention and I had my camera with me. I hand held this 5 shot HDR using the D700 and 16-35 wide angle lens. The day was basically cloudy out so it didn't get a lot of sun light directly but a nice diffused look. LYLE

Chopper

I was about to delete this shot it was underexposed. I decided to play with it. I added 2 stops then played with B&W then selective color. The image is almost B&W it was heavy overcast so I did it at 50%. The selective color under the white adjustment I changed the colors of the clouds I am posting the 3 I like. I started to tell you I had gone fishing and caught a bird instead. It is doing seismic testing if you look in the trees there is a weight hanging from the line. Iso 1000 F 10 1/320 sec 135mm Bruce

Buck Fever

I was driving through a hunting ranch to go to a compressor to work on it.This Fallow Deer just wasn't afraid of me at all, I stopped and got out of my truck and it looked atone and kept eating I was about 20yds from it. I am use to Whitetail deer that are  afraid of people. Oh, yes I did use my lightroom to make it look presentable. I cropped it, sharpened it and added l stop exposure. 1/30 sec f6.3  70mm  hand held 1st exposure of 3 shot bracket the other 2 were blury.  Bruce

Jack's Sculpture

We had Jack (Doug's boy) over on Sat, he built this sculpture out of a set of shapes that I picked up while at the AIA convention last year in New Orleans. He was pretty proud of it so I sat up my camera and let him squeeze the trigger to get this shot. Thought I might share it with you. It was shot in Manual mode at 135 mm with the 70-300, ISO 400, 1/6 sec, with the aperture at f4.8. I used a black paper background and only the natural light coming through the windows. LYLE

St Joseph the Worker Catholic Church

I was on my way home and drove past this new Catholic church. It is quite a modern building so I decided to take a couple of shots of it. It was 6:00 pm so it was dark, I set it up at ISO 400, shutter priority, 1.6 seconds and took the picture (not HDR). I can not tell you what the various spaces are used for, but it is interesting.

Main Street Marshall Tx

I went downtown tonight and the lights are still on so I fired off a few shots hand held and this is the only one worth posting, I was standing in the middle of the street.  f6.3 1/13sec AP 18mm  Bruce
