Rabbit Ears Reflection

I referred to this photo as Rabbit Ears Reflection, now I know that is not the actual name of the formation but it is descriptive. I found a small puddle of water that was about 2 inches deep, I could see all the way through it but at this lower angle I was able to pick up the reflection.  LYLE

Bridge in Portland Mi.

I finally got around to working on the Bridge I told you I shot. I had a hard time picking out the views to show. The sky was overcast so it didn't show up very good making the pictures just so so that's why it took so long but you like Bridges so here a couple shots.

Winter Home for Birds

I hope. they have a good heater in their little house. I saw this birdhouse and thought wow a beautiful photo. I didn't like it because it didn't stand out.  I worked on this a long time and learned how to do things in Photoshop I didn't know how to do. Leigh showed me the quick selection tool and I cut the background out  and turned it B&W then I cropped the photo little bit.

Sparkling Ice

I went back to my favorite spot in Big Cottonwood Canyon yesterday with a friend of mine looking for ice covered cascades in the river but the warm weather has taken most of it away. There were a few little pockets of ice that has been protected from the sun by overhanging trees or rocks, this is one of them. I shot it in manual at f/40 but was not happy with the results. I just picked up a new application from On One and used it on this photo. It really brought out the contrast and deep colors along with the sparkle of the ice. LYLE

MSU Credit Union

I was wimpy shooting this I stopped the car rolled the window put the camera on program, this building was begging for a picture to be taken but the temperature was 3deg f and the wind was blowing to make it colder. I thought this building looked so pretty  in the snow I couldn't pass it up but couldn't make myself get out sf the car. cropped and edited in Photoshop CC, ISO 250, f8, 1/250sec

Lace and Water

I guess I don't have to tell you how cold it is here, you can see it. This is back up on the trail to Lake Blanch where we shot a few during your trip to Utah. I shot this in manual at f/20, 1/6 sec shutter, ISO 160, and 125 mm with my 70-300 lens. The reason I used f/20 was to close down the aperture so I could keep the shutter open just a bit to smooth out the water. I also really love the high pass sharpening function in Photo shop. I selected selective color and took all of the color including black out of the white to brighten up the water and ice. LYLE

Wind Tunnel

This is a Mayan Ruin that was part of a "wind tunnel". It was constructed so the wind would blow through it and create a sound much like a conch shell does when you blow in it. They used it as a navigation aid to help find the island at night when they were on the sea. I shot this with my Cannon Power Shot D10. LYLE
