More HDR

Now that I’ve got some HDR software I am slowly working my way through older images that I bracketed with the intention of applying the HDR techniques.  Here is another one from my road trip through Colorado last summer.  I woke up early to catch the sunrise on the Chalk Cliffs near Buena Vist...

Evil vs. Good

I’m always amazed by what a little change in light can do to a photo. In this case, I was taking some photos for my 52-week photo project for this week’s theme: laughter. Check out what a difference the lighting made. When I moved the light source below the peppers, I came out with a [.....

Time-lapse birds in flight

Brazos Bend State Park south of Houston is a photographer’s paradise.  I really need to come here more often.  While taking photos of the tree silhouettes against the sunset background, a flock of birds flew by.  I was able to capture 38 frames for a new time-lapse video as they flew by.  ...
