Shoshone Falls Close up

Another close up of the falls at Shoshone Falls, ID. A nice look at some of the details when the falls are at rest. LYLE

I show you a lot of what I see in Big Cottonwood Canyon and the trail to Lake Blanche, but I happen to really like the area. I was up there with a friend of mine. He is Swiss, born in Bolivia and just recently came to the US from Russia. He is a very good photographer and is causing me to stretch a bit to keep up with him. He also shoots a D700 and just recently bought a D600. He has much the same eye as I do and loves HDR. This shot was captured in Manual Mode, f/32, ISO 200, 1/4 sec at 135mm with a 70-300 lens and is a single shot. LYLE

Detail of Shoshone Falls

This is a detail of Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls, ID. We were there last week visiting Ann and her family. The falls are not yet running but there was a lot of beauty in the rocks and the bit of water that was trickling over. There were birds sitting all over the place and a chucker ran along the rim. The falls are 212 feet high and run 3500 cu ft/sec during spring runoff (which hasn't started yet). LYLE

March 23, 2013

On this 23rd day of March this is what I woke up to. I think I want to live someplace else. I shot this with Ann's D70, she took my D700 to Arizona to shoot a wedding, sure wish I could have gone with her. LYLE

(Not) Open for Business

This is an abandoned greenhouse in an orchard. I really liked the color and grain of the wood. I also like the pattern of the shadows the open framing make on the snow. Don't you just wish you could live here and slog around in the snow with me? LYLE

Shadows

I was out and about in Utah the other day and came across this scene. I really liked the patterns on the snow, and yes, it was cold. We went into central Utah to shoot some pic's of the migratory Snow Geese. They were hard to shoot but the hillside stood still for the shot. LYLE
