Bay Bridge

I know, the bridge again. But I love the bridge and I get to visit infrequently. Please mouse over and let me know which version you prefer? The highly processed HDR version or the regular (default) HDR version. Thanks!

Lincoln City Sunset, again

Again with the sunset, I know! But I loved all the images from this evening a couple weeks ago that I cannot resist. Having had my fisheye lens for nearly a month now, it is my #1 lens. I just love it and the perspective it gives, like this sunset image. Everyone should run out and get one! :-)

Sunset, Lincoln City

There was a rare (for me) sunset while visiting the beach Saturday that I got to go chasing. I found a very cool overlook on a hidden corner of the back streets in Lincoln City, Oregon. I took a TON of shots with different trees as framing and using my fisheye lens. These both are mostly straight out of the camera.....I had to straighten them......but no other adjustments. I love them! (And I was surprised how well a fisyehe worked for this. First landscape with it. A couple other people there were missing out using a long zoom.)

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.

Rose Reaching

Another rose reaching for the sky, but a little different than earlier this week. Actually, just thought I would see if I could edit the image to get anything. It is ok I think..... Mouse over for before image.



Captured with Pentax K-7 with 90mm macro lens. Edited in PS3: Straightened, cropped and a lot of clone tool to make a bud go away.

Sunset

I would not have thought of this shot but I saw another on another blog and thought I have one similar so why not! Sunset on a beach near Newport, OR.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Gazebo

Taken in Newport, Oregon this past week. I waited for the sunset in general and this was a bonus shot for me. Worked out much better than expected.

Mouse over for before image.

Sunset: Enhanced

Again, the Yaquina Bay Bridge but with heavy use of Lightroom adjustments. Highly satruated colors and great reflections. I like it!

Sunset under the Bridge

Newport, Oregon: The Yaquina Bay Bridge at sunset the last night of cloud free sky. Taken from the docks opposite old town and near the aquarium. It was hard to stitch this pano because I don't have software on this computer. :-(
