There were really some fantastic clouds out yesterday that gave the sky a lot of texture and let the sun through just enough to get some amazing HDR photos. Almost all my shots worth looking at were HDR, which just goes to prove how sweet the technology really is.
These all come from the Blue Ridge [...]

I got to the top of the ski lift and saw this over to my left. Good snow, good views, and warm weather all makes for a good day. I would have liked to get some bracketed shots to play with in HDR, but the Casio point and shoot doesn’t do that quite as easily [...]

If you look carefully at any of my photos on Flickr, you may notice that most of them are geotagged — embedded with the GPS coordinate where they were taken. Up until now I’ve done this manually, and it sucks. I can never be exactly sure of where I was when I took a lot [...]

Happy holidays! I went out for a little drive around the northern end of the BRP, from the beginning atop Afton Mountain to Raven’s Roost at mile 11. The pictures from along the way are mostly all made with the assistance of a C-PL (circular polarizing) filter; some of them are processed for HDR in [...]

It was cold, windy, and there was snow on the ground, but all that and a few flurries didn’t stop us from going to the range for the afternoon. In addition to getting a good sunset picture, I experimented around with high-ISO, high-speed shots trying to see what we could get in the way of flying [...]

We had one call last night. Philipsburg is pretty dead at night, but Front Street stays lit. This was the view during the early morning hours. The shot is a tone mapped HDR, processed through Photomatix.

I was working Saturday night and nothing was going on, so when I saw this scene outside the station I thought I’d get to work on photographing it. The result is an HDR image that took some patience to get — the D200 bracketing only supports exposures up to 30 seconds, and in order to [...]

After getting off my normal sleep schedule yesterday to get up photograph the sunrise, I ended up taking a nap before going out in the early afternoon to see the end of the day. A quick trip up to the top of the Fraser Street parking garage managed to give me some decent views, though a large [...]

For whatever reason I tried to sleep last night. I should have known that was a stupid idea from the beginning — I ended up waking up around 5:45 or so. Getting up at that hour did give me the chance to at least get a few good photos. I started at the pond by [...]

The obligatory first post to make sure this this actually works. Stay tuned for some good photos, stories, or whatever else I think to put up here.
