Rainbow under the Moon

A great scene from this morning's ride in to the first day of school for new students. Lovely morning.

Huffman Covered Bridge II

Another pic of the bridge, this time with a reflection in the creek underneath. This is an HDR (high dynamic range)  image, composed of 5 images. I truly love how these images came out. The sepia rendition of the Huffman Bridge is here.

The Field

Just a very cool little field with a great sky behind. I shot 5 images (didn't use one) and created the high dynamic range (HDR) image you see here. It is missing a center of focus for the subject......I need a nice big elk or something near the small yellow tree in the field. But, I like the colors and such.

Mouse over for the before image. (Mouse over tutorial at right.)



Shot with Pentax K-7 & 18-55 WR lens. Processed in Photoshop CS3: 4 image HDR & adjustments.

Huffman Covered Bridge

I truly love this image. When I look at it I think of a classic movie and their embellished sets like the Wizard Of Oz. I'm really glad I stopped on the way in to school the other day. Some may say the brightness of the sky in the right side is a distraction, but I like it.

One Swift Kick

William is really loving soccer, as can be seen here with the big smile. At 5 years old, pretty much kicking the ball in a semi controlled manner seems to be the goal. :-)

Last of the Giants

Granted, these are smaller blooms, but these guys were towering over me at around 7 feet or so. The very large blooms had mostly lost their petals and are going to seed. Fall is a little early around here this year, so far being the wettest September in the past ten years. (An inch of rain yesterday! That's not normal for here.)

Stop!

A sign in the middle of nowhere on my way into town, as the sun is setting. It looked cool at the time.....

Swinging

Harder to capture than I thought it would be! We were just out playing though, so it was fun.

Rain....

I know that summer is over now. Here is a puddle in my driveway, bubbling with new rain drops. Welcome fall!

Evening Sky

Another sunset from the other night. Fall is trying to push summer out of the way so we are getting some great sunsets.

Only a Test

I was playing the other day, with Teddy here, by a window. I grabbed my flash and wanted to duplicate window light. So the question to you is this: Which is natural window light and which is flash? 1000 points to who ever gets it correct with solid reasoning behind their guess. (1000 points? You bet! Not good for anything, but hey, you got 'em!) :-) Click for a larger version, as usual and next/prev to compare.

Did you guess? The answer is on the next page, after the break........
(Having problems with the "Page Break" feature. Sometimes works, sometimes not. Dunno.)

Dawn

At the hot air balloon liftoff site this past weekend there was a wonderful sky. I only wished at the time that they were already up and flying.

Windows

I loved how the dusky orange sky was reflecting off of this building. Pretty building on its own.
